Answer key
Los coquíes
The sound the
coquí
frogs make at night is
very distinct. The inhabitants of the island
often say they miss the murmur of these
creatures when they go to sleep if they move
to other countries. Because of this, it is
relatively easy to find recordings of the
coquíes
on the web.
Some students may relate to this if they grew
up in rural areas where the sound of crickets
or birds may fill the nights.
