Entonces les voy a contar un cuento acerca de dos compadres. Ellos vivían en el mismo pueblo. Un compadre era muy pobre. El otro compadre andaba consiguiendo mucho dinero. Cuando venía traía el dinero en bolsas. Entonces el compadre fue a ver a su compadre a su casa. Cuando él llegó a la casa de su compadre, platicaron de su situación, que él no tenía dinero.
