Peasant entered a luxurious mansion and claimed. To be the owner of all this. Nobody believed, but time later the unimaginable happened. The music was thunderous. The corridors were filled with fine ladies and elegant dresses, the elegant gentlemen and tails with their glasses of fine wines in hand, and their stomachs full of. The delicacies that were served there.
When the laughter had taken over the place, a man entered with his feet shot in old shoes, a threadbare shirt, faded pants, and a torn hat. I am God, and if you don’t return the peasants to their land, you’ll. Regret it, said the man, who looked like a peasant. Everyone scoffed, but what came next was unimaginable. The gallop.
That was the name of the small town where everyone knew each other and supported each other. The region was quite fertile. They grew basic grains and vegetables, the fruit trees grew spontaneously, and everyone enjoyed their shade. Mr. Regalia Alberto was the owner of the largest amount of land and rented it to various families to work on. Unlike most of the inhabitants, this man was selfish and ambitious.
The prices he charged for rent were. Really unfair, but the peasants accepted them. Because they needed to work to support their families. In addition to charging those exaggerated prices. The man was so despotic that if. He passed by one of his fields. And he liked something, he’d simply pick it and take it away. He entered the huts of the peasants.
At the time that seemed best to him and demanded that they feed him through their clothes from the clothes lines and made damage and woke up in a bad mood. In the gallop, there was no more. Authority than that of Mr. Rigelo Alberto. The priest was afraid of him because the man was haughty. On one occasion the father called him to ask him to charge the peasants less because life was difficult and those rents were abusive, and the man got furious and almost hit him. From there, the priest was afraid and decided not to get involved in his affairs again. In addition, that same night the man sent word to him that if he.
Went back to advocating for the peasants. He would be in charge of demolishing the Church with him inside. Father of Samuel decided to remain silent and only limited himself to seeking economic help for the peasants. He gave them clothes, food, and milk for the children. Meanwhile, that arrogant man continued to do his thing. One day he left for the city.
And when he returned he called his tenants to give them the news that he was going to sell them the land. Everyone was happy and some had their savings. Others took out loans to pay what the man was charging them. He received the money and there was a party at the gallop, but they did not know what was coming to.
Them because the man had some dark plans. Three months after having excited them about his land. He sent mechanical shovels and machinery to remove the land and planted cotton, leaving them all with nothing. The peasants began to complain to the evil man, but there was nothing they. Could do because he had not given. Them deeds or any type of document that accredited them as the owners of those lands. So they only had to take refuge in the Church and in some neighboring.
Branches where they were given work. Regalio Alberto swindled the peasants, and by. Growing cotton he became a super millionaire. However, he was getting older and lands along with him. His son, Rodrigo, was his replacement. He was unjust and cruel like his father. When the old despot died, the cotton crops were no longer productive.
As the land was barren, Rodrigo associated with other millionaires, and the company began to exploit the coal mine that was on the land. The mining company had arrived and did not return the land to the peasants. For this, they gave bribes to the. Authorities, and the peasants had to work for the millionaire owners of the mining. Company who exploited them, paying them a pittance.
Despite having millionaire profits from coal extraction. Rodrigo and his millionaire partners decided to. Celebrate the fifth anniversary of mining with a party in style in which only millionaires and partners participated. That’s why when Pocus the peasant interrupted. That majestic party, everyone was stunned and. Didn’T know how he had managed to get in, although the security and gatemen claimed that he never went through the checkpoints. So it was a mystery how he did get in.
The poorly dressed peasant stood up in. The middle of the party and with. A loud voice said, Stop, stop this. Injustice and return the land to its rightful owners. The peasants of this town. The man who controlled the music turned the volume down, and everyone stared at the strange man. How is it possible that this poorly. Dressed peasant has entered my house?
Rodrigo shouted, visibly furious. Another of the millionaire’s present asked him who he was, and before the absorbed gaze of all those presents, the present replied, I am God. From astonishment, everyone turned to mockery. Upon hearing that answer, the room was flooded with laughter, and they began to shout Profanities at the poor Pocus. But he stood his ground before the guests and assured them that they must listen to him. Seeing that the man was there challenging him, Rodrigo called the security guards to throw him out of the mansion. At that moment, the man raised his.
Voice again and warned them that an enormous misfortune would occur if they did. Not return the land to the humble peasants. I am God, and see what I am warning you about. If you do not return the lands. That those humble men bought from Regalio. Who in bad faith stripped them of their money and the parcels, a great misfortune will fall on everyone for being accomplices of such injustice.
Pocos yelled. Despite his words, no one feared him. So they kicked him out anyway. Once Pocus was out, the party continued. But everyone commented on the man’s level of insanity. What if he really was God? One of the ladies said that she was very devout, and the others burst out laughing and told her that she was too drunk to be able to reason such nonsense.
The gallop, despite the mining extraction that. Guaranteed permanent work, was a very poor town because they no longer sold crops. And the worst thing is that for several years they lived through a harsh. Drought that had not only affected the few producers in the region, but it. Also caused it to always be hot. After that incident at the party, the rich people forgot what Pocus had told them. They all went on with their lives.
Of luxury and extravagance. Heedless of the man’s warning. However, in the gallop, something was happening. The peasant Pocas began to talk with the other peasants and convinced them to claim their rights. Thus he put the people against the millionaire invaders. Thanks to his words and his organizational skills, Poch managed to get them to.
Make a big strike. Everyone was scared at first because they didn’t know Pocus, but they also wanted to give back the land that they had already paid for. The strike was that no man worked in the mine. They all introduced him, but none fulfilled his duties.
They also carried banners demanding their land be returned to them. Rodrigo and the other millionaires came to try to calm down the workers, but. It was all useless. When the millionaire threatened to take labor. From another town, Pocus emerged from the. Crowd and told them, Millionaire, gentlemen who have become rich thanks to the work.
Of these humble people. I God assure you that if you do not do what is right by giving your land to them, your riches will vanish. Rodrigo and the other millionaires made fun of the mysterious man again and had them soaked with water with a hose. But the peasants did not move from. Their places but continued to protest. At the end of the day, everyone went home while the millionaires met to discuss what they should do. But Rodrigo invited them to a round.
Of drinks and told them that those starving people would have to work because. They would not have money to eat if they continued to strike. The next day, the whole town was shocked because there was a big cave in the mine and the mine sank. The millionaires were scared and decided to return the land to the peasants. Let’s give them back their lands.
They’re still useless. Not even rats can live there. Surely the man is a witch and. He caused all this, said Rodrigo. The peasants were happy, but their land was still dry and they did not know what they would live on. Now that the mine no longer existed, however, Pocus told them not to worry because the sky would cry with happiness so it happened a few days later heavy downpours fell and the land turned green the millionaires could do nothing and.
Had to leave the place no one. Knows where Pocus came from or where. He went no one else saw him again? No one knew if he was actually. God or just a humble peasant no. One knows what really happened in the. Town of the Gallup but what they are sure of is that they are. Blessed with their land friends we’ve reached the end of the story. Tell us what you thought of it. Put it down here in the comments section.
