Una grabación de práctica

Escucha a esta grabación de yo leyendo una selección de Mamá Zorra y Don Coyote / Listen to this recording of me reading a selection from Mother Fox and Mr. Coyote.

Here's an attempt with the cover image.  

If you want to do this, you'll probably need to try at home with a faster internet connection b/c it didn't work for me at school when I tried. 

Here´s just the MP3 sound file.
