This document contains the lyrics to two versions of a Spanish children's chant about rice pudding. The first version describes wanting to marry a lady who knows how to dance, sew, iron, and open the door to go play. The second version also mentions rice pudding and wanting to marry a little widow from the capital who knows how to sew, embroider, and set the table in its proper place. It ends by saying "I am the widow, the King's daughter, I want to get married, and I don't know with who."
