Una vez levantado el chopo noventa grados y falcado en su agujero, interviene el segundo elemento simbólico e imprescindible de la fiesta: Los pastorcillos. Se trata de un grupo de cinco a ocho niños que bailan delante del chopo y de la Virgen de los Desamparados haciendo gala de sus vestiduras. El pastor grande acostumbra a ser un hombre mayor, portador de un enorme garrote y de una alforja repleta de pan, que con un silbato en la boca dirige al grupo de niños.
Once the poplar is raised ninety degrees and falcates in its hole, the second symbolic and essential element of the festival intervenes: The little shepherds. It is a group of five to eight children who dance in front of the poplar and the Virgen de los Desamparados displaying their clothing. The big shepherd is usually an older man, carrying a huge club and a saddlebag full of bread, who leads the group of children with a whistle in his mouth.
