NAME:
Dona Vaca Maricota is very distressed.
She put on a ribbon bow, a blouse.
Look at Cow Maricota how weird she got: she does everything, dresses herself up, to look really pretty!
She put on a daisy-embroidered satin skirt, painted her huge mouth with crimson paint.
– I'm the Maricota cow, I want you to look at me!
She wore gloves and shoes, lacy silk socks, the sock was very thin, with holes in mesh.
Maricota went to the fair, all like that, so fragrant, with a drenched scent of violet flowers, behind the cow more than a dozen butterflies flew! Then, the cow arrived at the fair, in a stall, she bought a “gold” necklace, a very cheap imitation... and she stayed there at the fair waiting for a fat bull, her love, her boyfriend, her sweetheart, beautiful treasure!
The bull came up and looked at Maricota, was startled, spurred on, advanced on his girlfriend.
Lace flew, ribbon, shoe, gold cord flew... .Ouch.. .was left Maricota, and the bull recognized her:
– Maricota, my life!
