what did Esperanza do to help Marta

After the strikers are gone, Esperanza goes to get more rubber bands for the asparagus packaging. She is surprised to find Marta hiding beneath the crates. Marta begs Esperanza to help her remain concealed. In an uncharacteristic display of empathy for her former rival, Esperanza does not reveal Marta's hiding spot. Esperanza understands Marta's terror at the prospect of being separated from her mother. Therefore, Esperanza gives Marta an apron and helps her disguise herself as a worker.
