Macario, a poor and hungry farmer, longed for a big meal on Day of the Dead. After his wife cooked him a turkey, he met three ghosts, the devil, God, and death. Everyone asked him to share his turkey, but he refused, except for death. In return, Death gave him a bottle of water that could cure any disease. Soon, Macario became richer than the village doctor, which attracted the attention of the dreaded Inquisition.
