Answer:
Every person in Rio en Medio born since the
railroad came to Santa Fe owns a tree in that orchard. I
did not sell the trees because I could not. They are not
mine -
There was nothing we could do. Legally we owned
the trees, but the old man had been so generous, refusing
what amounted to a fortune for him. It took most of the
following winter to buy the trees, individually, from the
descendants of Don Anselmo in valley of Rio en
Medio.
