For My Father and my Grandmother

Contents

BY MARA HERRERA-SOBEK

where a young man comes to the valley and meets a ghost

where a young man spends ten pesos in order to save one

where a young girl wants shoes for her wedding, and a young man discovers a new type of goat

where a woman of genius mourns for the wrong man

where a dead mans bones become the bones of contention

where a man makes candy, and a woman hates bulls

where a young man pulls a ring from a wire, and encounters a matter of fourteen hens

where a man was too faithful, and a woman too beautiful

where an old maid finds an actor with a broken leg, and receives a school teachers gift.

where a man at last comes home
