Lia and Rigoberto and the Mystery of the Footprints in the Orchard

Lía and Rigoberto and the Mystery of the Footprints in the Orchard

A new adventure of Lía and Rigoberto from the Tales by Uncle Agustín Collection.

One morning, Lía arrives at Grandma’s orchard and discovers a strange mess: bitten fruit, broken branches, an overturned basket, and several missing apples.

Soon, a trail of small footprints appears near the fence. Rigoberto believes he has found the culprit and immediately accuses Timo, a little rabbit who has recently arrived in the forest. But Lía knows that one clue does not always tell the whole truth.

By looking more carefully, she discovers dark fur, claw marks, and other signs that completely change the direction of the investigation. Little by little, the truth comes to light, and Rigoberto must admit to a mistake even more serious than taking fruit without permission: blaming an innocent friend to hide what he had done.
