lesson 7 - The red ogre who cried (2)

In this lesson we will see the second part of the story. We proceed differently this time because we will be listening to only two long excerpts. This means that the practice will require a little more concentration. Your number one goal is to not panic when you miss something and to stay focused on a global understanding.

AWEN SONA

First, let’s summarize the beginning of the tale.
Use these words (several times if necessary) to build it. You’ll need to add punctuation.

1. jan / la / loje / lon / monsuta / ona / pona / tenpo / wan
   Once upon a time, here was a red ogre who was good.

2. ala / ike / jan / kama / loje / monsuta / mute / ona / pi / pilin / pona / tan / wile / li
   No one wanted to be friends with him because they thought he was scary.

3. jan / laso / loje / monsuta / pi / pona / taso / wan / li
   His only friend was a blue ogre.

4. ale / e / jan / laso / loje / li / monsuta / ni / nasin / pona / pilin / sona / tawa
   The blue ogre had a plan to make the red ogre look good.

5. anpa / jan / kama / laso / li / loje / mute / ona / pakala / jan / monsuta
   The blue ogre would act bad and the red ogre would defeat him.

6. e / jan / la / li / loje / ma / monsuta / ni / pini / pi / pona / sona / tomo
   After that, the people in the village would know that the red ogre was good.
