and loud voice was heard: “Bo-
lillo, bolillo, bolillo!”
In that part of Mexico, fami-
lies eat fresh food. That includes
bread. The bread is carried
through the streets by vendors
offering still-warm, fresh-from-
the-oven bread called bolillo.
The director came up with a
great idea. Why not buy fresh
bread for everybody? The problem
was the tall fence that divided
the cemetery from the street. The
solution? Find the tallest tomb
and try to call the attention of the
bolillero (the bread man).
So the club director, a great
Christian woman who was very
skinny, climbed onto one of the
tallest tombs and began shouting,
“Bolillero!
Bolillero!
Bolillero!”
The vendor
thought that
someone from
one of the sur-
rounding houses
was calling him
to buy bread from
him. He looked
here and there,
but could not
locate the origin
of the voice, until,
to his surprise, on
top of a tall tomb
there was a skinny
woman with long
hair calling and
motioning him. “Come! Come!”
You can imagine the terror on
the face of this poor man, who
thought the Llorona Loca was
calling him over to the cemetery.
Immediately he threw away his
canasta (basket) filled with bread,
and ran for his life.
After climbing over the fence,
some of the Pathfinders went to the
place this man had left his basket.
They put all the bread back inside
the basket and waited for a while to
see if the man would come back for
his bread. They waited a long time,
but he never did return. Too bad. It
would have been great to witness
to him about the truth of the state
of the dead so he would never need
to fear Llorona Loca again. @
A Timely Message
Tonight many people will try to forget the fear
of death that has filled their minds for much
of the year, and entertain themselves by facing
another fear—the fear of spirits.
But we have good news to share. We know
that death is like sleep, and that Jesus Himself
will wake us up if we die! This news is just too
good to keep to ourselves. That’s why Guide has
created this special issue with a sharing insert.
Simply remove the inner half of the magazine,
and you’ll have a sharing piece that you can pass
along to a non-Adventist friend.
