I, Gardenia, thank the Virgin of Guadalupe for giving me this beautiful figure so I can make a living as a whore. I love this job because for me it’s easy money.

My buddy and I were coming back after the sowing. We took the short way, through the cemetery, and there the beheaded bride appeared to us. She scared us. We prayed to you, Virgin of the Solitude, so the bride would o away. And she disappeared. Thanks.

I went to see the wrestling when it came to our town. During the flight of El Demonio, I noticed that he was falling right on me. I implored you, Virgin of Guadalupe, and you saved me. He fell on another wrestler.
