Tono, the youngest of his brothers and sisters, is small--even for a mouse. He is so small, in fact, that his mother won't let him go outside and play for fear that he'll hurt himself. One day, his grandmother comes up with an ingenious plan: she wraps him up in cotton before sending him outdoors. The cotton, however, attracts some unwanted attention, and Tono is forced to return home without it. He feels much bigger and braver, though, and is ready to tell his mother that he can take care of himself. "Tono es el menor de todos sus hermanos y hermanas y es muy pequeno--aun para ser raton. Es tan pequeno, de hecho, que su madre no lo permite salir a jugar para que no se haga dano. Un dia, la abuela de Tono tiene una idea ingeniosa: lo envuelve en algodon antes de mandarlo afuera. El algodon, no obstante, atrae atencion no deseada, y Tono regresa a casa sin el. Se siente mas grande y valiente, sin embargo, y esta listo para decirle a su mama que puede cuidar de si mismo."
