This is a good example of folklore because it is a simple old-fashioned story set in the wild west with a clear moral of being generous to share with others. ( )

A young boy and his abuelo (grandpa) ride into a town, and they are starving. The citizens of the town do not want the two men there, but when they share they want to make their famous Fandango stew for the whole town, they are more willing to let them stay. They start making the soup with a single bean, and then they continue to mention how they had more ingredients from the previous towns and how that would make their stew so much better. With that, the town gives the men spices, potatoes, veggies, etc. to help make the stew so much better. ( )

A great book about working together for the common good. And a good lesson on kindness and generosity. There is also a point of competetion between the twons that the gradnson and grandfather have been too before and made stew for. Also has spanish words
