Juanito the Moocher

Juanito lives high on the mountains of Bogota, South America. He is a farmer who has acquired a curse of laziness. Juanito has a wife and children who depend on him for survival. His family is going hungry, but he doesn’t do anything to put food on the table. Every Saturday he goes to the farmers’ market and begs for food to feed his family. Juanito has no integrity when mooching off the hardworking village farmers. The villagers are tired of Juanito’s mooching and shy away when they see him coming. A magical fruit is given to Juanito’s wife to help them out of the poor phase their family is in.
