THE BLACK CHARRO

El Charro came from a poor family. His parents, although they loved him, could never fulfill his
whims. The Charro always liked to be well dressed, sometimes he even did not eat for days to save
a few pesos and with what he collected, to be able to complete for a good hat.

Sometime later, his parents died. Left alone, the misery of the Charro increased considerably so he
made a decision that would change his life: to invoke the devil.

Time passed and little by little the youth of the Charro began to say goodbye. Suddenly, he realized
that he was tired of spending his wealth on women, gambling, wine, and expensive suits. At the
same time, the feeling of loneliness pressed against his chest and he barely let him breathe.
Nobody loved him for what he was but for the wealth he possessed.

El Charro had already forgotten about that deal that cursed him. That is why, when the devil
appeared to remind him that the time for collection was near, he was scared like never before.

So, in a fit of fear, he took his best horse along with a bag containing a few gold coins that had not
been spent. He undertook the journey during the night, so that no one would see him flee.

However, the devil realized that the Charro would break his word so he reappeared in front of the
rider and his horse but this time, in order to take him away.

Since then, that man was condemned to suffer countless torments in hell and to leave there only
to collect from those who have outstanding debts with Lucifer. This with the hope that one night,
some traveler, betrayed by his greed, will take his place. Only then, the Charro Negro and his horse
will be able to rest in peace.
