| The audio is from a live radio show with students from Santa Rita Elementary, Egan Junior High and Los Altos High School in Los Altos, CA and KZSU of Stanford University in Stanford, CA. The Asturian Valley on-line script matches what the students actually performed. So what you hear and what you read will match. (This is a great way to learn English and to learn how to read.) It is NOT the same as the PDF script. I.E. As usual, our young actors changed a few of their lines while performing. |

Cows in Spain? Today we’re talking about the Asturian Valley.
The Asturian Valley is not a place where you visit and go fishing.
We’re a cow.
It’s a very large -
We’re a breed of beef cow.
Yes. A very large breed of cow.
We like to eat.
Yes. They have enormous foraging ability.
Enormous what?
Foraging ability. You forage. You wander about collecting food.
We don’t collect it. We eat it!
Yes. Enormously.
In great quantities.
Which makes you large.
Very large.
The Asturian Valley was very popular in ancient times -
Like last year?
No. Like a very very long time ago.
What happened?
What do you mean?
Well, what happened to us? Why aren’t there so many of us around anymore?
Specialized European breeds.
Specialized what?
Specialized European breeds were introduced and you guys -
Yes?
Well, you guys just weren’t as popular anymore. Anyway, I understand you’re very calm animals and easy to handle.
Well, you’d be calm too if you were eating all the time. We do have four stomachs to please, now don’t we? Have you ever thought of how time-consuming it is to keep four different tummies in your body happy and full?
Well, no, I -
Specialized European breeds, humph!
Yes, well, thank you for your time.
