There lived a girl in the mountains. She was one of the poorest, but she was arrogant - nothing could be further from it. She had a relative in Havana. And then one day this relative sent for her. Our proud girl got ready to go on the road. I went to Havana.
Soon she returned back to her village, dressed up in fashion, with curls - unrecognizable. And her nose began to turn up even more than before.
She sees a machete and asks:
-What is this thing? What is it for? The peasants are surprised and say:
- This is a machete, they use it to cut cane. And she still pretends to be a city young lady. She stopped near the plow and pointed her finger:
- What is this called? What is this for? The peasants answer:
- This is a plow, they plow the land with it.
So she approached the cows and goats and kept pretending that she didn’t know what it was. She saw a rake and asked:
- What is this called?
She asks, but she herself put her foot on the teeth. Before she had time to answer, the rake would slap her on the forehead, and our young lady would scream:
- Oh, damned rake!
Then everyone realized that she was only pretending to be a city young lady.
