Theme:
The theme of the story was how Jose and his friends came up with the idea of taking a census in their village; they found out that they had more people in their village than the more fortunate people living in the other towns. It made them feel as if they had a special identity and qualities. Although they were poor they still had larger numbers than the more fortunate people living in the towns around them. This made them feel important and it caused a common bond among the residents.
