| Setting: | Las Huelgas, Burgos | Protagonist(s): | a little girl |
|
At the convent of Las Huelgas in Burgos, there was a little girl who played foolish pranks. She was punished severely by one of the nuns who was her aunt. One day the girl did a very naughty thing. Her aunt looked for her so that she could punish her. Terrified, the girl ran to the statue of the Virgin and asked her to erase the deed from her aunt’s mind. The statue of the Virgin spoke and assured her that she would grant the girls’ request. The girl told her aunt about her encounter with the statue. Her aunt did not beat her as she had done before, but loved her tenderly from that time forth. |
