George was having fun.
It was Betsy's birthday party.
There were many new things to see and do.
Jorge se estaba divirtiendo mucho.
Era el cumpleaños de Betsy.
Había muchas cosas que ver y hacer.
George heard a wind chime.
He looked up.
A paper animal hung from a tree.
Up close, it smelled sweet.
Jorge escuchó campanitas de viento.
Miró hacia arriba.
Un animal de papel colgaba de un árbol.
De cerca, olía a caramelo.
"That's a piñata," said Betsy.
"There is candy inside."
George had to hit the piñata to get the candy out.
–Es una piñata –dijo Betsy–.
Adentro hay caramelos.
Jorge tenía que pegarle a la piñata para sacar los
caramelos.
George wore a blindfold.
He could not see.
He swung, but he kept missing the piñata.
Jorge se puso una venda.
No podía ver.
Trataba de golpear la piñata pero no la alcanzaba.
Steve had an idea.
"Practice using your other senses," he said.
"Try to follow Charkie with the blindfold on."
A Esteban se le ocurrió una idea.
–Practica usando tus otros sentidos –le dijo–.
Trata de seguir a Charki con la venda puesta.
George could not see.
But he could hear.
George followed the barking.
Jorge no podía ver.
Pero'sí podía oír.
Jorge siguió el ladrido.
But the city was noisy.
George could not always hear Charkie.
So he used his hands to feel what was around him.
Había mucho ruido en la ciudad.
Jorge no siempre podía oír a Charki.
Así que usó sus manos para sentir lo que había a su alrededor.
Click-click.
Charkie's collar made noise.
George followed the sound.
Charkie hid in the fire station.
George felt cold metal.
It was a truck.
He turned on the hose by mistake!
Everything got very wet.
Clic-clic.
El collar de Charki hizo ruido.
Jorge siguió el sonido.
Charki se escondió en la estación de bomberos.
Jorge sintió el metal frío.
Era un camión.
¡Abrió la manguera sin querer!
Todo quedó completamente mojado.
The firefighters turned off the hose.
Now George could smell a wet dog.
He kept chasing Charkie.
Los bomberos cerraron la manguera.
Jorge sintió el olor de un perro mojado.
Y fue detrás de Charki.
Now George felt fur.
Meow! It was his friend Gnocchi.
Luego Jorge sintió algo peludo.
¡Miau! Era su amigo Ñoqui.
Mmm... George smelled yummy food.
Then he heard Charkie's collar again.
Mmm... Jorge olió algo rico.
Y oyó el collar de Charki otra vez.
Click-click! George chased Charkie through the kitchen.
¡Clic-clic!
Jorge persiguió a Charki por la cocina.
He followed the noisy collar.
Soon there was less city noise.
They were in Endless Park.
George felt wet fur.
He found his doggy friend!
Siguió el ruido del collar.
De pronto oyó menos ruido de ciudad.
Estaban en el Parque Infinito.
Jorge sintió algo húmedo...
¡Y encontró a su amigo el perrito!
They went back to the party.
George wanted to swing at the piñata again.
Regresaron a la fiesta.
Jorge quiso golpear la piñata otra vez.
George could not see, so he used his other senses.
He heard the wind chime in the tree.
He felt the grass under his toes.
Como no podía ver, usó sus otros sentidos.
Oyó las campanitas de viento en el árbol.
Sintió la hierba bajo sus patitas.
He also smelled candy.
George moved to the piñata.
BAM!
Candy flew everywhere.
Now George could use his sense of TASTE.
That was the best one to use at a birthday party!
Olió también los caramelos.
Y fue hacia la piñata.
¡PUM!
Los caramelos volaron por todos lados.
Ahora Jorge podía usar su sentido del GUSTO.
¡Era el mejor que podía usar en una fiesta de cumpleaños!

In the story, George uses his senses to find the pinata. Use your senses in the
fun experiments below, you will need an adult to help you put on a blindfold
first. Now, no peeking!
SMELL
1. Have an adult place five different foods in separate bowls in front of you.
These should be foods that have strong smells, such as garlic, cheese, pickles,
and oranges.
2. Lift each bowl up, without touching what is inside, and take a good long
sniff.
3. Can you guess which food it is by its odor?
Record how many you guessed correctly here:
TASTE
1. Have an adult cut up five different foods and place them in separate bowls.
These should be foods that have tastes you know, such as grapes, apples,
carrots, and cucumbers.
2. Using a fork so you aren't touching the food with your hands, can you guess
which foods they are just by tasting them?

twice before!
