A little of a children´s story that shows the day-to-day life of the towns near the Popocatépetl Volcano; the cultivation of the amaranth plant, the production of the dessert that is made with this seed: ¿alegría? (happiness), and its use in the barter system. An unexpected event involving the volcano will illustrate the practical magic of the curanderas (healers)
