Once upon a time a couple of hunters were cooking some deer meat by a fire. A giant jaguar came down from the clouds and said, ” I have a gift for you.”
When the hunters returned to their village, they told the chief about the jaguar. The chief laughed at the hunters. The chief said, ” Ha ha ha, there is no such thing as a jaguar in sky!”
The next day, the hunters went back to the place where they had seen the jaguar. There, next to the fire, was a thick grass. Sticking out of its stalks were big ears of yellow, white, red, and blue corn.
Sometimes, a moth lays its eggs on the corn leaves.
The eggs hatch into caterpillars, and the caterpillars bore into the corn kernels. You can lose your corn crop if the caterpillars go out of control.
Dried corn is ground into corn meal.
The meal is mixed with water and kneaded. Add a little salt.
Cook the tortillas on a hot pan, or fill with beans and cheese to make pupusas. Yum!
