Celeste was a village healer in a rural area that was called Salsipuedes. That area had no hospital with nurses. It never gave prescriptions or injections. It had neither an emergency room or an ambulance. People only used crutches because they didn't have wheelchairs. They could not give x-rays. What a shame! Celeste traveled as a healer helping people. One day, at four o'clock, she came running to Marisol's house and Hector Sanchez. Marisol was pregnant. She felt a sharp pain and was screaming. Celeste wanted to run to the house with medicine, but had dropped all her medicine. The set was in his bag, but it was a disaster. She didn't know what medicine was for what pain. When the child was born, Celeste gave her a medicine for babies. Immediately the baby grew more and more hair on his head. Celeste told him: "poor baby! The medicine gave him more hair!"
At seven, she was still working at the house of Sanchez when she heard that Yayo, a very old man, had a problem. Yay oa lways ran into things in his house and fell. That day he ran with the dog and fell again. celeste came and dold him: "What happened, sir?" Yayo has fallen and hurt his ankle. Yayo said, "I fell." Yayo thought that he had a broken bone. Celeste said, "What a shame!" She went to yayo and told him that she he didn't have a broken bone. It wasn't possible to get an x-ray, but yayo could move the leg. Celeste told him that he did not need a cast, but gae him a bandage and crutches. Yayo took medicine. Suddently his leg didn't hurt him, but his back hurt when he went to take the pills.
At noon, Celeste heard a 12 year-old boy who was screaming. She brought her bag of medicines and came running so fast that he hurt muscles. Celeste asked, "what happened Guapísimo?" Guapísimo had an accident when his bike had collided with a tree. It was a cut ankle. He had hurt his ankle. He was crying. It felt very bad. He said: "I collided with the tree!" Celeste cleaned all the blood from the clothing and said to Guapísimo "Poor thing. What a shame!" and gave him some pills. Guapísimo ceased to hurt, but began to sneeze. He was allergic to the pills. How strange! Celeste did not give an injection for allergies because they did not know which injection in her bag was for allergies.
Celeste returned to her home and put a sign in the window. Here medicine is sold that CAUSES disease. 900 pesos. Now she is very rich.
