Did+this+story+surprise+you+in+any+way?+Explain.

This story surprised me because by the way Yolanda described most of the characters, it did not seem like she was going to receive any help and was going to end up in alot of trouble.

- Jose, at first, was shy and hid behind the woman's dress. The woman scolded him but he still would not talk so she had to tell Yolanda his name. It was not until Yolanda mentioned guavas that Jose wanted to help. Jose ended up finding Yolanda's antojos and later tried so hard to find help when Yolanda had a flat tire.

- The two men who came along when Yolanda was by herself were described in a dark and frightening way; they had machetes on their belts and wore dirty, old clothing. Yolanda was stunned and terrified at first to be alone with the men in the middle of the countryside, but they turned out to be kind and helpful. They worked hard to fix Yolanda's flat tire. Yolanda was so grateful for them and tried to reward and thank them with money. Though, they were too polite and respectful to accept it.
