About this ebook
A hunter tries to kill a beautiful but annoying bird, but learns that you cannot kill freedom! This graded reader for Elementary level ESL or EFL students is fun to read and especially to read out loud. A glossary, comprehension and discussion questions, and a writing prompt round out this adaptation of a folk tale with an important lesson about freedom.
The World Folktales Graded Readers bring stories from around the world into the ESL classroom. Traditional tales interest people of all ages who love folk stories, as well as learning and sharing wisdom from around the world. Inspire students to share stories from their own culture as they improve reading speed and fluency.
