Stories, part one

This story was told to me by my teacher about how Lago de Atitlan was made.

A long time ago before there was a lake in the center of this cluster of volcanoes, there was a girl named Maria who had a novio she was engaged to. They loved each other very much, and were usually very very happy together. Then one day, they got into a big fight, and Maria left the house, even though her love begged her not to leave while they were both angry.

The next day, Maria{s friend came to her house and told her that she needed to come to the church and quick. Her novio was marrying another woman! Maria did not believe it, until she went to the church and saw it with her own eyes.

How could this be? She did not believe, and, distraught, left her village at the base of one of the many volcanoes in the valley. She walked and walked and walked around the valley, and as she walked, she kept crying and crying and crying, until a lake formed from her tears. And then she drowned in them. And she YOU CAN STILL HEAR HER CRY!!! BECAUSE SHE{S IN THE BOTTOM OF THE LAKE RIGHT NOW!!! AS A GHOST! WHOOOOO!!!!!

I guess the moral of the story is never leave the house angry. I think the better moral is don{t date jerks who marry other girls just because you can{t put up their stupid faces when you are mad. Those guys are putas.
