Synopsis:

The tape opens with a song, apparently sung by Lola Cruz, titled Granada. Afterwards Lola Cruz recounts narratives about kings. The first narrative is about three kings who marry three princesses that make grand promises if the kings will marry them. Another narrative is about a king with three daughters. The king questions the daughters about their love for the king and the queen. Candelario Gallardo recounts two tales. The first is about a peasant and a princess and three magic rocks. The second is about a good boy and his flock of sheep. Angel Flores tells the story about two travelers.
