Summary

Canela nos presenta dos historias ocurrentes y profundas, y nos conmueve una vez más con su gran talento para crear personajes inolvidables.

Juan Lencina es un amable repartidor de leña con una vida tranquila. Hasta que, sin motivo aparente, empieza a largar sapos por la boca. Sí, como leen, ¡SAPOS! Y entonces, Lencina se convierte de pronto en la sensación del pueblo.

De la señorita Helen se sabe bastante poco. Vive sola, es profesora de inglés y los fines de semana le gusta amasar fideos aunque no tenga a quién invitar para comer. Pero un día la masa se le va de las manos. 

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Canela presents us with two concurrent and profound stories, and moves us once again with his immense talent for creating unforgettable characters.
 
Juan Lencina is a kind firewood deliveryman with a quite life. Until, without any apparent reason, toads begin spilling out of his mouth. Yes, you read that right, TOADS! And then, Lencina becomes the talk of the town.
 
Little is known about miss Helen. She lives alone, is an English teacher, and on the weekends she likes to make noodles from scratch although she doesn't have anyone to invite over for dinner. But one day, the dough gets out of hand.
