A Mis Orejas (To My Ears)

November 24, 2008 by Kristina McDonald

Mis orejas son muy importantes porque si no las tuviera no escucharía a la maestra o al maestro. Cuando es invierno mis orejas se ponen bien frías, y no escucho a mi mamá decirme cuando me quiere. En verano, mis orejas se calientan y puedo ponerle aretes. A las orejas las tenemos que limpiar. Me gustan mis orejas, me divierto con ellas. Con mis orejas, oigo mi música favorite, y en el invierno les pongo orejeras. Me duelen mis orejas cuando me las estiro. Con mis orejas oigo el canto de los pájaros, y el sonido del viento cuando golpea el cielo. Con mis orejas oigo el murmullo del mar y los delfines que atraviesan las olas.
Ear listening
Translation:

My ears are very important because they allow me to listen to my mom and my teacher. When the winter comes, my ears get cold so that I can’t hear my mother telling me how much she loves me. During the summer, my ears are warm, and I can wear different kinds of earrings. During the winter, I cover my ears under a comfortable hat. We need to clean our ears very often. I like my ears a lot, and they look good on me. Thanks to my ears, I listen to my favorite music. Thanks to my ears, I listen to the birds singing in a tree and the sound of the wind hitting the sky. Thanks to my ears, I listen to the ocean’s whisper and the dolphins’ laughter breaking through the waves. When I pull my ears down, I feel a little pain.
