¿Puede Pasarle a Cualquiera? (Could It Happen to Anyone?)

Balzo accompanies his mother to a store where children cannot touch anything. To avoid boredom, he pretends to be a caterpillar and accidentally bumps his head and makes a mess. Neither his mother nor the shopkeeper notice the bump but instead give Balzo a hard time because of the mess he has made. Imaginative and charming, this story illustrates the importance of forgiving children's mishaps. "Balzo acompana a su madre a una tienda donde los ninos no pueden tocar nada. Para evitar el aburrimiento, pretende ser una oruga y accidentalmente se golpea la cabeza y hace un desastre. Ni su madre ni el tendero se dan cuenta del chichon, y mas bien reganan a Balzo por el desorden que ha causado. Imaginativa y encantadora, este cuento ilustra la importancia de perdonar los contratiempos de los ninos."
