    📚 Transcript of Chapter 1 of the book "La Aventura de Luna"

    Capítulo 1: ¿Quién es Luna? 😺

    Luna es una gatita pequeña, alegre y juguetona.
    Vive en el campo con Andrea y Antonio, sus dueños, en un lugar rodeado de colinas.
    Su día es simple. Por la mañana, Luna come temprano y luego sale a pasear por los alrededores.
    Allí juega con otros gatos, persigue insectos y caza ratones.
    Le gusta estar al aire libre, es divertido y relajante.
    Por la tarde, vuelve a casa. A Andrea y Antonio les encanta pasar tiempo con ella después del trabajo.
    Cuando está adentro, Luna se limpia mientras mira la televisión.
    Le gusta estar limpia y bonita. Es una gata vanidosa.
    La vida de Luna en el campo es feliz y tranquila.
