THE RETURN OF THE LITTLE KITTENS / EL REGRESO DE LOS GATITOS

More than a month has gone by since the three little kittens came to our house to spend the afternoon. 

Mas de un mes ha pasado, desde que tres gatitos visitaron nuestra casa para pasar la tarde con nosotros.

They adventured into our house, but they really belong to the neighbor boy so he took them back to his house.

 Estos se acercaron a la casa, pero como en realidad pertenecian al joven vecino, el se los llevo a su hogar.

One kitten was black.

Uno de los gatitos era negro.

One had tiger-striped fur and the last was white with the bluest eyes ever seen.

 Otro tenia un pelaje parecido al de un tigre, y el ultimo era blanco con ¡los ojos mas azules nunca vistos!

They were all pretty.

Todos eran hermosos.

Last week the three kittens came peeking over the wall again. They seemed to recognize us.

 La semana pasada los tres gatitos volvieron nuevamente, asomandose sobre la pared. 

Ellos parecian reconocernos. 

They acted as if they wanted to come down to visit once again.

Parecian querer bajarse para visitarnos de nuevo.

Y uno por uno fue bajando cuidadosamente por la pared.

Mas tarde se asomaron por el mismo muro, dos gatos grandes. Eran los padres de los gatitos.

Ellos tambien se acercaron a saludarnos.

Pero esta vez mi vecino no los vino a buscar.

Pues el se habia mudado muy lejos.

Hoy mi casa esta muy alegre, llena de gatitos cariñosos que ronronean y juegan sin parar.

One by one they came down down carefully from the wall.

Later, two big cats looked down from the same wall. They were the kittens' parents.

They also approached to greet us.

This time my neighbor did not come to get them.

He had moved far away.

To this day my house is a very happy place, full of affectionate kitties that purr and play all the time.
