Why do they say domingo 7

Last edited by Benilde Moreno; at PM. Re: domingo 7 hola benilde - yes, the expression in north american english is: " Re: domingo 7 Hi Hermit! That sounds perfect to me. A bun, yes. That sounds even tenderer. Juan is a good fellow, yet Ancient Mexican folklore also has ogres, fairies, elfs and goblins and so forth, but we called them differently.

Those were not ogros , hadas or diablos. And, since it makes reference to the 7 days of the week, the tale should have been used by the Spanish for the local nations to learn their ways.

I have made my people so deaf that they cannot even hear the cries of the souls in purgatory.

And the ogres laughed more loudly than ever, rolling on the ground with merriment. They were so evil that all human miseries caused them joy. The poor woodcutter, hearing them speak thus, trembled with horror. Those poor unfortunates whom I have blinded don't know how easily they can be cured.

Nevertheless, don't think I am going to cure, much less give them the remedy. I also have a remedy to cure the deafness of my people and I am sure that our friend here has also a remedy for the dumbness of his people. Then by rubbing a finger dipped in this dew over the eyes of the blind, they will be cured.

As I have told you, I have deafened my subjects. Do you know how they can be cured? It is certainly more difficulty to cure this deafness than the blindness you spoke of. You have heard of the Hill of the Bells; all one has to do is take the person who is afflicted with dearness to this Hill, place him next to the rock, and then strike this rock with a hammer.

The sound resulting from the blow will cure the deaf person. These flowers are set to boil, and a tea is made from them. The afflicted is given this tea to drink.

Then not only is he cured of dumbness, but of every known ailment. The ogres were enjoying themselves a great deal, but since dawn was approaching, they agreed to meet again at the same place a year from that date. As son as the ogres left. I will go and cure those poor afflicted persons the ogres talked about.

However, since it is a long time until April, I will first go and cure the deaf and the dumb. Walking, walking, the woodcutter finally reached the land of the dumb. The good man picked the cenizo flowers, brewed the tea, and gave it to the dumb. Immediately their speech was restored. So grateful were all these people that they loaded the woodcutter's little donkey with bars of gold and silver.

From the land of the dumb, the woodcutter traveled to the kingdom of the deaf. He took the deaf to the Hill of the Bells and cured them.

Dios mio! These people also gave the woodcutter a donkey loaded with gold and silver bars. Since April was near, the woodcutter traveled to the country of the blind.

Camping on a grass-covered prairie, he waited for the first week of April When the proper time arrived, the good woodcutter collected the dew from the grass, entered the village of the blind, and cured all. As a reward, the previously blind loaded their benefactor with still more gold and silver. At last he returned to his home, where his friend the envious hunchback, awaited him.

The good woodcutter related his adventures but the evil one didn't care about the gold or the silver. He wanted to rid his back of its hump. The ogres will be there soon; maybe I can also be rich like you. But above all, I hope the fairies will straighten my back.

The kind-hearted woodcutter took pity on his friend and agreed to do as he asked. On the morning of the day set for the meeting of the ogres, the good woodcutter took his friend to the tree. The mean hunchback, without even thanking his kind companion, climbed the tree and set himself to await the arrival of the ogres and the fairies.
