Hi, it's Lottie from the Cala Vox UK podcast team. I wanted to talk to you about something super important: reading comprehension. It's basically the ability to read something and really understand what it's trying to say. It's not just about recognising words, it's about being able to interpret them, work out the context and draw conclusions about what the author is trying to tell you.

Recently, I was challenged to use my skills to read Rumpelstiltskin by the Brothers Grimm in the original language. This was no easy task as the story had been translated by Margaret Raine Hunt and edited by Dr Cala Sana, which meant that there were some tricky words and phrases that I had to navigate.

靠边站，灰姑娘。真正的英雄是穿靴子的!

童话故事爱好者们请注意! 来自伦敦的阿比将为您带来深受喜爱的格林经典作品《穿靴子的猫》的独家朗读。这个永恒的故事讲述了一只聪明的猫在它那双神奇的靴子的帮助下，从破烂到富有，并帮助它的主人成为王子的冒险故事。

阿比对《穿靴子的猫》的解读现在可以在苹果播客和Spotify上的Cala Vox的Cala fabula频道独家收听，供所有用户欣赏。她迷人的声音将这个经典的故事带入了生活，使其成为儿童和成人的乐趣。

你还记得这个故事是如何开始的吗？它是这样的。

"一个磨坊主有三个儿子，他的磨坊，一头驴子和一只猫；儿子们要磨，驴子要收集谷物和运走面粉，而猫要抓老鼠。磨坊主死后，三兄弟分了遗产：老大得到磨坊，老二得到驴子，老三得到猫。他很伤心，对自己说 "我的大哥知道如何磨坊，我的二哥知道如何骑驴，但我该如何处理这只猫呢？让我用他的皮毛做一副手套，这就完了。"

但猫有其他计划。在经典的格林童话《穿靴子的猫》中，这只聪明的猫用它那双神奇的靴子帮助它的主人成就了伟大的事业，娶了一位公主。

现在，由于艾比讲故事的才能，你可以以前所未有的方式欣赏这个深受喜爱的故事。阿比过去曾为格林兄弟的几个原创故事配过音，包括《灰姑娘》、《汉塞尔和格雷特》、《长发姑娘》、《拇指姑娘》、《不来梅镇的音乐家》、《小白雪公主》和《小红帽》。她迷人的声音和娴熟的讲故事技巧使她成为将这些永恒的故事带入生活的完美选择。

作为一个真正的原创者，阿比对怪异和不寻常的事物充满了热爱。在业余时间，你会发现她在练习空中飞人的技巧或学习标本制作的艺术。这是正确的，你听到了，阿比有一个不寻常的爱好！她从生活中的奇闻异事中找到灵感。她从生活中的怪癖中找到灵感，并利用这些怪癖为她的配音表演带来额外的创意火花。

她把奇特的肖尔迪奇社区当作自己的家，那里的街道两旁都是复古商店和街头艺术。这是一个崇尚怪异的地方，就像阿比本人一样。凭借她独特的兴趣和充满活力的个性，阿比是一个真正独特的声音，是一个值得倾听的乐趣。

因此，坐下来，放松，让阿比在苹果播客和Spotify上的Cala Vox's Cala fabula频道的 "穿靴子的猫 "中带你进入一个神奇的旅程，该频道只向订阅者开放。不要忘记在Cala Vox上查看她的其他格林故事，了解更多神奇的故事。不要忘记查看必须观看的YouTube短片，在那里你可以瞥见阿比讲魔法故事的行动。
