The Goméz family of Tlaxcala, Mexico, has put on entrancing shows with their handcrafted puppets for six generations. This one tells of a poor farmer who one day found a pure white horse in his field; abundant stalks of corn sprang up wherever the horse walked, giving the farmer more than enough to feed his family. The farmer rode the horse around his village, thinking he would share his bounty with all. Predictably, the villagers grew covetous and broke into his barn thinking to steal the horse, and found only a wooden puppet.
