She suffered this sad fate as the result of a promise she made to the Virgin while she was quite sick. She promised the Virgin that if she recovered, she would walk barefoot from her home in Nuevo León to San Juan de los Lagos. Once she was well, she set out on the journey with her husband, her son, and her mother. Along the way she became angry and was influenced by devils. 'Why did I ever made such a promise?' she asked herself. She complained and, finally, cursed the Virgin. There was a clap of thunder, then silence. Soon her companions noticed that she was not moving--she had been transformed into stone from the neck down. They begged her to repent and the Virgin to forgive. The balladeer then goes on to make his point: do not promise something that you do not mean. The Virgin would have been satisfied if Eugenia had only had the will to try and had not been dissatisfied and cursed her."

She ran off with a man when she was sixteen, and returned home a year and a half later in a pitiful state: almost naked, dirty, and with scars all over her body. Her parents forgot their anger and took her in, suggesting they move to another town where nobody knew them. Norberta went along, hoping her lover would come back for her. Meanwhile, she planned a fiendish end for her parents. During the trip, as they paused to eat and rest, she stabbed and killed both of them. Norberta then trudged on alone, only to fall down in an arid area where dogs attacked her and dragged her into their cave. She died five days later of hunger, exhaustion, and dog bites. The authorities discovered the bodies of her parents and gave them a decent burial in holy ground." Both the restrike and the illustration in Tyler indicate that the plate was broken and repaired.
