When each of Doctor Romero’s five children becomes ill, one after the other, with the same fever that took his dear wife, the doctor is not able to help them. Yet each child is quickly cured when a little cat comes in the night, offering a tortilla on a tray and singing. Is the cat a feverish dream-or is the Tortilla Cat real?
