Maroma y la mariposa roja Maroma and the Red Butterfly
Ana Maria Machado (text) Flavia Zorrilla (illustration)
It seems that Pedro, the protagonist of this story, never pays attention. His parents tell him to do one thing and he does the opposite, they ask him to bring one thing and he brings another one. When his teacher asks questions at school, he can't answer because he is thinking of something else. Everyone would think that Pedro is distracted, but that is not the case. He pays attention to things that appear not to be important.
Maroma is a yellow tabby cat that lives in the street. One day he meets Luisa, a girl who takes him home and begins to take care of him. What Luisa doesn't know is that Maroma has a secret: he does not see well or, rather, he sees things differently from others. This sometimes causes problems for him, especially when it comes to chasing all red objects because they remind him of his lost flower-butterfly.
