Antonio Francisco Gomez and his twin sister, Margarita Teresa Gomez live on the great hacienda, or plantation, of Señor Fernandez, in the wonderful country of Mexico, and they are eight years old. The Twins, Tonio and Tita, think it is a fine thing to be a vaquero and ride horseback all the time. Tonio means to be one when he grows up.
