Señor Grillo, the fearless cricket, uses his wits to battle Señor Puma; Mosni, the humble turtle, braves the ocean's depths for a grain of sand; and persistent pulga, the flea, makes sure that Man and Woman get to work. Mexico is full of clever animals so sit back and enjoy these stories told by the Tarahumara, the Seri, the Huichol, the Triqui and the Tseltal people.
