General

Synopsis:

Ana María Romero recounts tales from her childhood. They concern a bear that kidnaps a woman from a town. Another tale concerns a mysterious man that is seen sitting on a rock, apparently guarding a treasure, while children play at night. A third tale is about a ring that brings poverty to a wealthy woman. Another is about an old snake that attempts to devour a man's foot. Sandy Franco narrates a story she read as a small child. The story is about a convent where a bell would ring whenever the nun's were lacking food. Lola Cruz narrates stories about Juan Tonto, a tale about a Queen Isabel, a story of the good fisherman, and finally, a narrative about a city mouse and a country mouse.
