learning English by Story

There was a woman who lived in a small town in Spain with her husband. The couple had a ​​young son named Federico who was always causing mischief. The parents were at their wits end because the boy was constantly getting into trouble at school. 

One morning, the mother woke her son as usual and got him dressed for school. While he brushed his teeth, she prepared his breakfast. After he finished eating, she sent him out to catch the school bus. 

She spent the next few hours cleaning the house. It was around lunchtime, when she happened to go into the living room. To her surprise, she saw her son sitting by the window, staring outside. 

“Federico!” she yelled angrily. “What are you doing home at this time? Why aren’t you at school?” The boy was silent and turned to look at his mother. She noticed that there was blood on his forehead.

“Hello,” said the voice on the other end. “Can I talk to the mother of Federico.” 

“Who is speaking?” asked the mother. 

“This is the school principal.” 

“Oh no,” she sighed. “What did that little devil do now?” 

“I don’t know how to explain,” began the school principal. “This morning, Federico climbed onto the roof of the school…”

“No, you don’t understand,” said the school principal. “Federico fell off the roof and hit his head… I’m so sorry… He died instantly…”
