I give thanks to the Virgin for healing my sleepwalking husband. I couldn’t sleep either because I was always preoccupied that something would happen to him.

The cat of Ramona Morales climbed on a pole and couldn’t come down. He sat over there for two days, and Ramona, however hard she tried, couldn’t help him. So she prayed to the Virgin for help. And then arrived a man from the electric company. He had a ladder and he took the pussycat down. The cat was so hungry that he drank a litre of milk. Thank you, Virgin.

When I saw a ship, I decided to swim near to wave to the handsome sailors. But suddenly I felt something grabbed my leg. I saw a giant octopus with its tentacles. Then I noticed another one. It was approaching with clearly bad intentions towards me. I prayed to the Virgin of Guadalupe, and thanks to her the octopus let me go and went to another octopus. I suppose they fell in love. And I went to the coast as quickly as I could.

My life was a chaos. Although I was a good wrestler, I wasn’t happy, until one day The Green Mask made me understand that I was gay. It cost me a lot to accept this, but now I’m happy, and we with the Green Mask have a beautiful relationship. I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe for sending him to me.
