    Humbleness and charity towards one another is one of the lessons “El Tonto del Barrio” illustrates to the readers through the protagonist of the story, Romero Estrado. The story begins describing with very specific details the life of “El Cotorro” or Romero. Mr. Armas continues the story inviting all of the people from “El Barrio” to come along in the story to show their influence in the life of Romero. Summarizing what happens in the story, Mr. Romero seems to be the happiest person from el Barrio. He always whistles joyfully and sings songs as he sweeps the sidewalks every morning for all of his neighbors. The Tortilleria America, The XXX Liquor Store, and the Barelas Barber Shop are some of the places he stops by to clean. Everybody in the neighborhood greets him and they all pay him with food and protection but not with money. The story seems to go well until Seferino, the son of Mr. Barelas, comes along. Seferino decides to pay fifty cents to Romero for sweeping the sidewalk of the Barber Shop, but the problems begin when El Cotorro starts to demand a raise in his pay. Seferino refuses to give him the raise; therefore, Romero stops doing his job and his personality of a good guy seems to change to being a drunk and rude person. Towards the end of the story Romero returns to being his old self again, and ironically the reasons for his change appears to be because of the departure of Seferino to college. However, the neighbors believe that it is the effects of the moon that have affected Romero’s behavior.…
