“From San Carlos,” he said, and smiled.
That was his native town and so it gave him pleasure to mention it and he smiled.

Then she saw a star fall, leaving behind it a bright streak of fire. “Someone is dying,” thought the little girl, for her old grandmother, the only one who had ever loved her, and who was now dead, had told her that when a star falls, a soul was going up to God.
