He's still pretty ill, but they have more hope. Finally some good news: Torito comes home from the hospital.This dream gives Mamá the inspiration to make a blue cloak for Torito, because it matches Santo Niño's. But things get extra crazy real fast because then Francisco dreams that he wakes up to find a pic of Torito dressed like Santo Niño. First off, in this dream Santo Niño shows up with a basket of white butterflies. After prayer, Francisco has a super crazy dream.That night, the whole family prays to Santo Niño.They even seem almost mad at Francisco, which is pretty confusing. He stays there all the next day and Francisco isn't allowed to see him, which stinks.He prays for his little bro, but when Mamá and Papá return Torito is still at the hospital. While they're gone, Francisco is super scared.Sadly he gets stiff again so Mamá and Papá rush him to the hospital. But there's a woman in Tent City named Doña María who's got her own ways for curing folks she tries rubbing some eggs on Torito's stomach. Mamá and Papá don't want to take Torito to a hospital, because they don't have money.Luckily, he gets through the night and starts breathing again, but overall things aren't looking too great. You see, Torito's fever goes from bad to worse really fast, and before the family knows it his whole body is stiffening up and they're worried he's dead.
And when we say sick, we mean knocking on death's door kind of sick. But all these newborn good times come to a halt when Torito gets sick.He also gets a cool nickname: Torito (which means little bull). Everyone is seriously stoked when the youngest bro, Juan Manuel, is born.They even go dumpster-diving to find wood to make a floor in the tent. Francisco and Roberto help out with the cooking and the baby-readying.But she still spends her days cooking from 4:00AM on so that all the workers in Tent City get fed, and also finds time to set things up for the new baby. Remember how in the last chapter Francisco mentioned that his mom was pregnant? Well now she's about to pop.They call it Tent City because it's a bunch of tents, but it's not exactly it's own city adding to its charm is the fact that the city dump is nearby. Francisco tells us a bit about the place in Santa Maria where he lives.
