Once upon a time, in a Mexican village, there was a yearly celebration where all the villagers would decorate their homes with colorful flowers and streamers. The day before the celebration, all the children were given a special task to practice their independence. They were given a blindfold and asked to decorate their home all by themselves. The children were nervous but with a lot of practice, they found that they could do it just as well as the grown ups. The next day, everyone was amazed at how beautiful the children's homes looked. They all celebrated together, proud of the children's newfound independence. The end.
