Simple Stories in Spanish
Los reyes de plata

The state of Colorado exists in large part because of the gold and silver rush that began in 1858. Many ruins of abandoned mining towns and operations can be found throughout the Rocky Mountains. Few people actually became rich, but one family in Colorado experienced a monumental rise in wealth. However, like most mining endeavors, the “boom” was quickly followed by a “bust”.
This story is in the third person and past tense. Important vocabulary in the story includes: “oro” (gold), “plata” (silver), “éxito” (success), “fracaso” (failure), “prudente” (sensible), “gastar” (to spend), “inversión” (investment), “choza” (shack)
