Juan Bobo Sends the Pig to Mass (Story Cove)

Juan Bobo Sends the Pig to Mass (Story Cove)

Juan Bobo, which translates to â€œSimple Johnâ€, is featured in a series of humorous folktales from Puerto Rico. The story is retold by ArÃ Acevedo-Feliciano. It is a classic tale about a mother and her foolish, young son who lacks common sense. One morning, Juan's mother asks her son to take care of their pig while she goes to church for mass. While she is gone, Juan hears the pig squealing and grunting, so he thinks that the pig is sad because she wanted to go to mass, too. In an attempt to be helpful, he dresses up the pig in his mother's clothes and jewelry, then he sends her off to mass. When Juan's mother returns from church, she is furious when she discovers the pig rolling in the mud with what is left of her dress. Still, Juan just doesn't understand why the pig never made it to mass.
