Quito, Ecuador. At home a family of four prepares for the household chores; Ana and José make breakfast while there kids Maria and Antonio take care of the animals. Maria cleans the cages while Antonio feeds there bird and dog. Pepper is their bird. Candy is their dog. Today is not just any day in Quito, its Christmas which means that the annual Celebration will be held at the city square completely with a parade, everyone will be there, there will be all sorts of food, from cotton candy to tacos: but Their mother will not let them leave the house until all the chores are done and they have ate breakfast. Maria is very excited about tonight, she cant wait to go, but she really doesn’t want to waste time taking care of cages she wasn’t to go get ready for the big dance tonight. But she knows her mother will not let her out of the house until everything is done, so she goes and cleans out candy’s cage, than grabs the old paper out of peppers and puts new in there throwing paper back in there and slamming the cage shut. She didn’t think that a little short cut like not putting the ties and locks back on the cage would be noticed, so she runs into the kitchen yelling momma I am done can we go now, just as her brother comes running in with the same thing. They swallowed there food running out the door dragging their parents behind the. Ana and José had their hands full keeping their kids in line, Maria like the floats best, but Antonio like the different horses, he decided that he would ask for a paint horse for his next birthday. They had loads of fun at the festival they danced, ate cotton candy, shopped, and saw lots of friends, but the fun had to end when it was time to go home. when they got home their was a big surprise waiting on them Ana opened the door and in a flash pepper flies out and candy is right behind him ,
at first they all chase them around Antonio caught candy and puts her back inside but pepper flew off to the top of the tallest big oak tree. So José goes inside and calls the fire department, they arrive with a ladder and safely get pepper down, Maria goes and puts him back up, she locks the cage correctly this time. But her father had already discovered her secret shortcut, he sat down with her and I talked he talked to her about responsibility. He told her that pepper could have gotten hurt, and they wouldn’t have him anymore then everyone would be extremely upset. And you would feel bad about it wouldn’t you feel bad if he got hurt to save five seconds? No sir, I am sorry. After that night Maria always checked the cage to make sure everything was locked. She learned that even if you want to save time shortcuts can be bad. And that she should always take her time and do things the right way.
