About this episode

Valentina learns about patience and asking for help while trying to reach a mandarin orange tree after a storm damages the bridge.

Valentina can smell the mandarin oranges from her window every morning. But the bridge broke in the storm, and now the stream sits between her and the tree she's been eyeing all season. Worse, her neighbor Nicolás is already on the other side, pockets full and smiling. When a honey-spotted toad tells her one stone at a time is all she needs, Valentina starts building. But she runs out halfway across, and the only person who can help is the last person she wants to ask.
