Many
years ago, there lived an old man, Don Pedrito. He could
cure anything. He helped everybody. One day he had an
unusual request from a young girl. This girl was dark
completed and wanted to be light. Don Pedrito told her to
cover her face with cow manure over night. She was unsure
and hesitated about the request. She couldn't believe this
would work. She applied the mixture onto half of her face.
In the morning,she quickly washed her face. She looked in
the mirror and couldn't t believe her eyes. Her face was
half light and half dark. The local people say this legend
was true.
