Story Time - Cuentos: La Lagartija

La Lagartija*

Cada mañana temprano muy resuelta y decidida, 

pasea una lagartija por el jardín soleado.

Lleva un traje colorido, echo a medida y teñido,

tan fino y tan bien cocido que donde va marca estilo.

Mirando a un lado y a otro, escala el muro mas alto,

para disfrutar del sol sin preocuparse del gato. 

Y encima del alto muro, la lagartija imagina,

que támbien el mundo entero esta echo a su medida. 
*Del libro: Un Jardín de poesías de Irene Verdú y Noelia Conca.

 Questions / Preguntas: 

1) Que imagina la lagartija cuando duerme?

2) Por que escala el muro mas alto?

3) Te gustan las lagartijas?
