Pedro arranged the seeds, grains, dried fruit, candy, lard, shells, and other offerings for our ceremony to Mother Earth.

An uninvited guest came closer each time, persistently trying to make her way into the offerings.

Pedro kept quiet all along, focused on preparing the altar.

Only right after he was done, he burst out in laughter at the daring hen who was just being a hen. We laughed, too.
