The Sacrifice of a Priest

Toribio loved to play priest with his friends when they were alone in the fields, pretending to celebrate Mass on a makeshift altar. Because Santa Ana had no schools, and most people there were illiterate, he had to move to Halos for his elementary education. It was at this point that Kika made a surprising announcement to the family. She intended to break off her engagement to be married, she told them, and moved to Halos to help her brother with his studies.
