Summary: " I grew up in Cuba listening to the stories of my Tia Abuela Nena, my great-aunt Nena. At night, without electricity, the countryside became impenetrably dark and quiet. Every evening we sat around her and listened to her stories and her remembrances of life a sit had been. I heard her tell "El Gallo de Bodas" many times. It was my favorite story and I never forgot it. Versions of this story came to Cuba and other Latin American countries from Spain long ago. However, "El Gallo de Bodas" is the Cuban version. It ib known by most Cuban children on the island. It is my hope that traditional stories like this one will continue to be told our children in the United States." --Provided by Publisher
