Cuento del bordado
In this story, the houses of Janitzio were all white, until one Day of the Dead the candles shone so brightly that they left them painted yellow. The birds, confused, thought it was already day, and the sun came out smiling early to see what was happening.
Below, the fish peeked out beside the canoe. The embroiderer tucked that sunrise into a corner of the tablecloth, so that every meal begins with light.
