An old story tells that when?the Maya Indians of Guatemala had worries, they would tell them to the worry people. At night they would place the worry people under their pillow and when they awoke, the worry people had taken their worries away.
This handmade product has been made by the Mayan Indians who live in the highlands of Guatemala. They make their living from agriculture in the rural areas of the country and are often dependant on alternative forms of income.
