Mucho gusto
Los crayones desgastados
Un solo zapato lustrado
El castillo de arena destruido
El buzón caído
Las lágrimas de la maestra
¡bravo, pedro! pudiste hacerlo
Una excursión arruinada
Demasiados compromisos
Que bueno es ser amable
Yo no fui el verdadero culpable
Quién es más valiente
El árbol de los esfuerzos
Sí, me vengué, pero…
El amor filial
