Storyteller Joe Hayes tell the story "Una Cuchara para cada bocada"

Bilingual storyteller Joe Hayes tells the Spanish of his classic story, "A Spoon for Every Bite." Or, in Spanish--"Una Cuchara para cada bocado." In this lovely New Mexico tale, a rich man tries to prove his wealth to his poor neighbors by using a new spoon for every bite. In the process, hes served a pretty dish of come-uppance. A Spoon for Every Bite is available for the first time in the bilingual format for which Hayes is famous. An entertaining marriage of pictures and words.—Kirkus Reviews

Dear Bitterknight, the story is also told in English on youtube. Listen to it in English first, then in Spanish, and I bet your Spanish improves.

Good luck.

Loved this - one of the best Spanish lessons I've ever had and wonderful storytelling! Your warmth is so engaging.

Thank you Joe. Did you really invent this tale? It has such a traditional feel to it. Perhaps have a look at some of mine?
