long long before the spanish conquistadores arrived in what is
today mexico there lived a brave and courageous warrion
named popocatepet
the tlaxcala had to pay tribute to
the mighty aztec emperor like all
people from the mexico valley
they were fed uo with this
situation
before going off to war popocatepetl asks ixtaccihuatls
father for her hand if he is victorious in this battle he is
granted his request and goes to war
popocatepetl wins all the battles and
upon his triumphant return to
tlaxcala the chief comes to greet him
with the worstpossible news
when he arrives at the top near the sky he
lays her down and then kneels next to her
with a torch in his hand
