Synopsis
Marita lives on a farm with her grandmother and a youthful shepherd. Distressed because her pregnant cow cannot give milk, unhappy about her first day at school, but confident in the power of prayer, Marita converses with a statue of the Virgin Mary. The statue informs her that obedience will remove nails from the hands of Christ crucified. Cheered by this discourse, Marita returns home to find that her cow has given birth.
