The Cake on the Sidewalk

El pastel en la banqueta

An eight-year-old boy saves every coin for three months to buy the biggest cake at the bakery. But the walk home doesn't go as planned.

Óscar tenía ocho años y un plan muy importante. Cada sábado, su mamá le daba veinte pesos. No era mucho dinero, pero Óscar no compraba dulces ni juguetes.
