When a little boy spends the night with his abuelita, a big storm rolls in, and he hears Boom! Rattle! Rattle! Rattle! Thud! on the roof all night long. How scary! But in the morning he finds something not scary at all: fresh, ripe mangoes that fell during the storm! Fresh mangoes that can be made into snow cones!
