Cuento del bordado
They say that the sun over this tortilla bowl used to be cold. Every morning it would go down to the lake to see the fish and the birds, but in November the water would be icy in the morning.
A lady from one of the little red houses invited it to her table and tucked it in among the freshly made tortillas. Since then it has lived in the center of the tortilla bowl, and that is why it smiles every time the hot tortillas arrive.
