See brief text sample from the activity: En un reino lejano, escondida entre montañas majestuosas, vivía la peculiar Familia Unida. Esta familia no era como las demás, ¡pues estaba formada por criaturas mágicas! El Cabeza de Nube: Papá Nimbus El patriarca de la familia era Papá Nimbus, un gigante bonachón con una cabeza esponjosa hecha de nubes blancas y brillantes. A Papá Nimbus le encantaba flotar por el cielo cantando melodías relajantes, pero detestaba la lluvia, ya que lo hacía sentir pesado y melancólico. La Hada Brillante: Mamá Lumina Mamá Lumina era una hada resplandeciente con alas de mariposa que brillaban con todos los colores del arcoíris. Le apasionaba cuidar su jardín mágico, lleno de flores exóticas y hierbas aromáticas. Sin embargo, no soportaba el ruido fuerte, que apagaba el delicado zumbido de sus alas.
