Danya sat (sentarse) on (en) the windowsill (… alféizar) looking (mirar) at (-) the stars (… estrella..).
It was already late (ya ser tarde), high time to sleep (la hora de dormir), but (pero) he did not want (querer).
It (eso) happened (suceder) practically (prácticamente) every day (todos los días).
Mom and Dad (mamá y papá) were preoccupied (estar preocupado..) with (por) that (ese) issue (problema).
They consulted (consultar) the best (… mejor..) doctors (médico..) in the city (… ciudad),! the men of medicine (los hombres la ciencia médica).
They prescribed (recetar) various (vario..) pills (píldora..) and potions (poción..) to the (al) boy (… niño), but it didn’t work (eso no funcionar).
Just (justo) at that time (en ese momento) Danya’s grandmother (… abuela de Danya) came (venir) to visit them (a visitarles).
One late evening (una noche), when (cuando) Danya, instead of (en lugar de) going to bed (estarse acostado), was watching (mirar) the stars (… estrella..), she quietly (en silencio) entered (entrar en) the room (… cuarto), sat down (sentarse) in (en) the armchair (… sillón) and (y) asked (preguntar):

– What (¿Con qué) do you 2.usually 1.dream (soñar / o – ue) of (-)?
– I don’t even know (Ni siquiera saber) how (como) to explain this (explicarlo), I just (solo) sit (sentarse / e – ie) and dream about (con) nothing (nada).
And my (mi) soul (alma) is so pleased (estar tan complacida) by it (por eso).
– But (pero) it’s probably (probablemente) not very interesting (no ser muy interesante) to dream about (con) nothing. – she wondered (dudar).
– Well (bueno), I apparently (aparentemente) didn’t mean it (querer decir otra cosa).
For example (por ejemplo), I’m looking (mirar) at (-) a star and (y) think (pensar / e -ie) what (como) it will be like (ser), if (si) you approach it (lo acercarse), what (que) happens (pasar) on (en) it (ella) and who (quien) lives
