The story
Fénix is a child magician in a Mexican circus, Circo del Gringo, run by his father Orgo, a knife-thrower, and his mother Concha, an aerialist.
A Monsignor arrives to resolve the conflict, but after he denounces the temple as sacrilegious and leaves in disgust, the demolition proceeds.
Orgo chides Fénix for mourning the elephant and uses a knife to give Fénix a chest tattoo of a phoenix identical to his own, which he claims makes Fénix a man.
