Adelina Galeana went to wash clothes on the river. Because it was very hot, she fell asleep. She was sleeping and couldn’t see that a giant crocodile was approaching to her. Suddenly she heard a voice that was telling her: “Wake up! Danger!” She woke up in time and managed to run away, so that the terrible beast didn’t eat her. She thanks with the ratable for this miracle.

Dionicia Lopez thanks the Lord of Chalma for saving her son from drowning when he fell into the river while playing with his ball. I bring this retablo to you for this favor.
