Once, Pancha was walking down the street with Lucha when she suddenly saw a group of people. Lucha said they were talking about them, and that night, Pancha couldn’t sleep. She paced back and forth, wondering what they could have been saying. She muttered, “crazy and ugly old women.” She felt like knocking on the gossipers’ door. She started biting her nails and began to believe her hair was falling out. The next day, she decided to knock on the door of those who had dared to talk about them, and what a surprise she got when they explained they were actually talking about the corn, coffee, and bean harvest.
