Torito is Francisco’s younger brother. Torito is born when Francisco is a first-grader, and the whole family, including Francisco, adores the cheerful baby. Unfortunately, Torito becomes sick and his parents don’t immediately take him to the doctor because they can’t afford it. He becomes much sicker and when they finally rush him to the hospital, the doctor tells Mamá that he most likely won’t survive. The family prays together for Torito’s health, and he ends up making a miraculous recovery.
