Lorenzo is a harmless, simple man who helps the villagers without asking for reward. They call him "tonto" (fool) and play cruel jokes on him. When a fire breaks out, Lorenzo saves a child but is laughed at for his clumsy heroism. After his accidental death, the same villagers who tormented him turn his grave into a pilgrimage site, attributing miracles to him. The priest profits from the cult. The story ends with the ironic moral: the village needs a fool to feel wise, and later a saint to feel devout.


El subtítulo "de preguntas" alude a una característica literaria y real de este arquetipo: la capacidad de desarmar a los poderosos mediante la sencillez.
