For those who enjoy folktales from across world then you’ll definitely enjoy this Cuban folktale, “Martina the Beautiful Cockroach”. Martina Josefina Catalina Cucaracha was a beautiful 21 day old cockroach and believe it or not, she was ready to give her leg in marriage. As the news spread throughout the city, Martina’s abuela taught her the coffee test so that she would be able to choose a good husband. Martina soon realized that taking advice from her grandmother was a wise decision.Retold by Carmen Agra Deedy
