Over the next months, Gitano grows into a fine bull who loves to fight. After class, the boy asks his teacher, Señorita Sanchez, to help him write a letter to Alejandro, reminding him that the cow was a gift. In school, where he will be the first Rosillo ever to graduate, Leonardo learns about former Mexican president Benito Juarez, who rose from the lower classes but never forgot his roots. The boy soon develops a strong bond with the similarly motherless youngster.
While his father and sister Maria admire the calf for his bravery, Leonardo names him "Gitano," meaning gypsy.
Although he is too late to save her, he brings back to his bed her newborn calf. That night, a storm awakens Leonardo, who rushes outside to rescue the cow. Despite the protestations of Rafael's ten-year-old son Leonardo, who states that Alejandro gave them the cow in gratitude for saving his life, Vargas insists that the ranch owns the cow and its soon-to-be-born calf. On the day of his wife's funeral, Rafael Rosillo is ordered by Vargas, the chief accountant for Rafael's boss, millionaire ranch owner Don Alejandro Videgaray, to return a cow owned by the ranch.
