The Perfect Pinata/LA Pinata Perfecta: LA Pinata Perfecta

Marisa’s sixth birthday was drawing near, and today her mother took her to buy a pi?ata. At the store, Marisa saw a beautiful butterfly pi?ata and knew she had to have it. "It’s perfect for my party!" she exclaimed. When they brought the pi?ata home, her mother wanted to put it in the closet, but Marisa begged to keep it on her dresser.

That week Marisa took her butterfly everywhere, and it watched over her at night while she slept. The morning of the party, Mama filled the pi?ata with candy and toys. Soon the guests arrived. It was time to hit the pi?ata! Marisa was the first in line. But the butterfly looked down at her with its happy eyes, and Marisa started to cry. "I can’t do it!" she said as she ran into the house.
