Freckle Juice
Chaper 1
Andrew Marcus wanted FRECKLES, but he
ONLY had two warts on his finger. Nicky Lane HAD
freckles and Andrew Marcus wondered how to get
freckles.
//wán derd//
One day in class, Andrew TRIED TO count
Nicky´s freckles. SUDDENLY, the teacher, Miss
Kelly, called Andrew, “Are you paying attention?”
Andrew joined his reading group, they GIGGLED
(ji,ji,ji!), especially SHARON. Andrew COULDN´T
STAND (tolerate) Sharon!! Grrrr Grrr!
When it WAS TIME to go home, Sharon
WHISPERED to Andrew, “I know HOW TO GET
freckles. I have a SECRET RECIPE for freckle juice.”

Chapter 2
Andrew HAD TROUBLE sleeping. Andrew
didn´t like the idea of paying Sharon FIFTY CENTS.
It was A LOT OF money. IF Sharon recipe DIDN´T
WORK, he would ask for ( pediría) his money back.
He took out 5 DIMES, he stuffed them = put them in
his pocket. Andrew RACED (ran very fast / quickly)
to school. A DEAL IS A DEAL ( un trato es un
trato = I give her the money = DIMES and she
gives me the freckle juice recipe).
Sharon wanted the money FIRST! Andrew gave
her the money. Sharon counted it. Then, she
THREW a paper to Andrew. He picked the secret
recipe. But Miss Kelly asked Andrew for the paper.
He could get the paper back at 3:00 o´clock. Finally,
Andrew got his secret recipe.
Chapter 3
Andrew folded the secret recipe carefully and put it in
his shoe. After school, Andrew ran home, (picked the
key from Mrs. Burrows´house, a neighbour). He went
home. He read the recipe and picked all of the
ingredients to make the freckle juice. But…
unfortunately,... unluckily,... Andrew COULDN´T
FIND the lemon. AGH! The juice smelled awful!!!
Then he found lemon and SQUEEZED some in the
glass. The juice SMELLED awful and … TASTED
terrible!!! Andrew HELD his nose ( se tapó su nose!)
and GULPED down ( se tragó) Sharon´s secret
recipe for freckle juice. Andrew didn´t feel well, he felt
like THROWING UP (tenía ganas de vomit…) BUT
he needed to be STRONG! He sat on the floor, (in
front of (adelante de) a mirror and … waited for
something to happen…???
