6: The limelight

The limelight is an igneous ball of three torches or luminaries, with arms like sizzling tentacles of a red candle, which produces the noise of broken pots. Chase drunks, infidels and irresponsible and sleazy parents. It also scares travelers who travel late at night. Grandparents and great grandparents, in the homes of large families, tell this legend again and again for a lesson or moral lesson to their children and grandchildren.

According to many years ago, there was an old woman who had two grandchildren whom she spoiled too much, tolerating even the strangest occurrences, vulgarities and insults. The infantile occurrences even demanded that the old woman do the role of beast of burden to saddle her and then mount her between the two; the grandmother agreed at once to the happiness of her two grandchildren, who walked throughout the house as on the meekest quadruped. When the old woman died, San Pedro reproached her for the lack of rigidity in the education of her two blossoms and condemned her to purge her sorrows in this world between three candela flares that mean: the body of the old woman and the two grandchildren .
