The legend of the poinsettia

Lucida lived in a little small village. High in the mountains of mexico. With her mama and papa, and her younger brother and sister named Paco and Lupe. Every evening Lucida fed Pepito,gave him fresh water, and filled his stall with clean straw. At home Lucida helped mama clean their casita-their little house- and tortillas for their meals. Lucida took care of Paco and Lupe, and each evening they went shrine of the virgin of Guadalupe near the front gate to see if fresh candles were needed. Mama got sick and everyone was frighten. Lucida took Paco and Lupe back home. Paco and Lupe was crying because mama was sick. Lucida did everything that mama did. Lucida was trying to make the blanket but it got tangled. Everyone went to baby jesus to make a wish. Lucida brought weeds and wish then they turn into poinsettia flowers.
