I almost made the biggest mistake of my life when I was going to marry Maria Luisa. But there was Luis standing outside the church. When I looked in his eyes I couldn’t resist and we ran away leaving my bride and her parents. They had a nervous breakdown. I thank the Virgin of San Juan because I didn’t ruin three lives. Now I’m happy with my boyfriend, and Maria Luisa already has a new suitor.

Miguel Martinez went through the forest at the dusk. Suddenly he ran into a witch sitting on her broom. He made his horse to run as fast as the wind. He managed to escape from the witch. He thanks the Blessed Sacrament for she didn’t curse him nor did she put an evil eye on him.

I began to see a strange dream in which my cat would go up to the Moon and I would have to climb after him by an infinite ladder. The worst part was that I woke up totally worn out in with a plan in my legs as if I really climbed the ladder all night long. I thank the Virgin of San Juan who gave me an idea to take my cat to sleep with me in my bed. It’s a much more comfortable place than the Moon. Now I wake up well-rested and don’t see this strange dream anymore.

My wife couldn’t fit in her clothes. She was distressed, and she put us all on a diet of salad and carrots. Water was the only think we could drink. I suffered a lot because I love food. I prayed to the Virgin of Zapopan so that my wife would give us more food. Thanks to the Virgin she noticed that she lost too much weight in her legs, her most attractive feature. So she finally began to feed us well. I offer this retablo to the Holy Virgin.

Our new neighbor had an enormous and angry dog that scared my cats. I was afraid that one day it could kill one of them.

All the red fruits and vegetables in my refrigerator were disappearing. I was intrigued until one night I went to the kitchen for a glass of water and found out that the thief was a vegetarian vampire.

My daughter Carmela and her classmate went fishing to the laguna in a boat. But the boat sank and the girls went into the water. My daughter didn’t know how to swim and got really scared.

I was, at the insistence of my parents, about to marry a man whom I didn’t love and didn’t even like. But Saint Anthony gave me the courage to run away with my bridesmaid. We went to the capital, and we’re happy now. We thank the saint patron.

It was very late at night when my sister Lourdes and I were coming back from the movies. We were followed by some skeletons in a red car. They asked us to have a ride. We got scared and ran away, because not only they were dead men but also dead drunk. We thank the Blessed Sacrament for we escaped from these ghosts.
