De taquito

Hay dos cosas que todos sabemos de las luciérnagas: que vuelan y que tienen luz propia. Lo que pocos saben es que volar, lo que se dice volar, sólo los machos pueden hacerlo, porque las hembras tienen alas minúsculas y sólo pueden quedarse brillando entre las hojas. Es una ley dictada por la naturaleza. Pero para Lucía, no hay leyes que no se puedan desafiar con tal de conseguir su sueño y volar como un cometa por la noche. Un libro inspirado en Las luciérnagas no vuelan. Breve ópera luminosa.

Despite its suggestive name, the little town of Windy Port is perfectly peaceful. You'll find no violence or intolerance there.

But the lion decides to free the mouse anyway. Later, the lion is caught in a hunter's net. The lion cannot escape. Can the mouse save the lion from the hunter's trap?
