In the first story, we learn about how the different peoples came to be.

\\n

In the second story, we learn all about the adventures of Benito. He has an epic adventure just looking for work for the king. But through his kindness, he gets everything he wants and enough to take care of his parents as well.

\\n

In the third story, Juan is sent out to get firewood. Instead of getting any, he meets a magical tree and gets lots of gifts only to lose them on his way home. This story feels a lot like The Sifter story from the Azores. Can he make it up to his family? Boombaya Boombaye!

\\n

In the fourth story, Juan is told to gather some guavas. But because he is a jerk, he gets wasps for the guests instead.
