“Be patient, Paco,” the mother said, “you will soon be well.”

“Come to the egg. Come, little pains, into the egg,” said Trini.

“Now I have them caught in the egg. I will show you. See—there they are. Now he will be well.”

Juan Diego walked through the village and he heard the talk at the well, heard how the children were sickening with the same pain as little Paco had. The women were frightened for the children.

Juan Diego went to see his friend the teacher, the only man in Santiago who had been to the outside world. And Juan Diego said, “You know many children are sick.” “I know it,” the teacher said. “They say it is in the air, the evil little spirits,” Juan Diego said.
