Paco Yunque is a children's story originally written in Spanish by Peruvian poet César Vallejo and first published (posthumously) in 1951.
[1] Vallejo wrote Paco Yunque in April 1931, in response to a request from an editor that he write a children's story.
[4][5] Paco Yunque is the son of a poor Indian maid, who works for Dorian Grieve, an Englishman.
Grieve, a railway manager and the town's mayor, has a son, Humberto, who is the same age as Paco.
When the teacher gives the class a test, Paco Yunque works very hard, while Humberto just doodles in his notebook.
