EL DUEÑO DE LA LUMBRE

Written by Iván Pérez Téllez

Illustrated by Fabián Ruiz

ESP- Esta pequeña historia, que protagoniza Agustín, ocurre en San Pedro Petlacotla, pueblo totonaco enclavado en la Sierra Norte de Puebla. Narra las peripecias de un niño (basado en las experiencias del escritor) que a sus cinco años aún se orina en la cama o en el petate.

Según Esperanza, la abuelita de Agustín, debió haber molestado a la Lumbre, que entre los totonacos es un espíritu que trabaja cociendo los alimentos, y debido a ello enfermó el niño. Con un desenlace que ya conocerás.

EN- This little story, starring Agustín, takes place in San Pedro Petlacotla, a Totonac town located in the Sierra Norte de Puebla. It narrates the adventures of a child who, at five years old, still wets the bed or the bedroll. The way his parents and grandmother react to this fact are very different: his parents reprimand him while his grandmother looks for the cause and tries to cure him.

According to Esperanza, Agustín's grandmother, she must have disturbed the Lumbre, which among the Totonacos is a spirit that works by cooking food, and because of this the child became ill. With an outcome that you will already know.
