Soledad
- Looks like this family found work because they're off to pick cotton. Well, everyone except Panchito and his baby brother, Trampita, whom he has to babysit in the car. Panchito's pretty bummed about this gig.
- After his parents and Roberto come back for their lunch break, Panchito is by himself again. But this time he makes a big decision: he's going to prove that he can pick cotton too. So he basically ditches Trampita in the car and picks cotton instead.
- By the end of the day, our narrator's cotton pile is small—like really small—so he mixes in some dirt so that it'll weigh more and be worth more money.
- He's all set to make his parents proud, which means we know that his parents are going to be seriously ticked off. And they are. His mom is mad that Trampita wet his diaper and broke his bottle, and his dad is mad about all the dirt Panchito tried to cheat with.
- All in all, this day has turned out to be a sour one. At least Panchito has Roberto to make him feel better.
