The Popol Vuh

Once upon a time, a group of gods created the world. They made the sky, the land, the animals, and the humans. The gods were very proud of their creations, but they wanted to give humans the ability to think and communicate. So they created a new god, the Maize God, and gave him the task of teaching humans how to talk and think.  

The Maize God taught humans how to build homes, how to hunt, and how to farm. He also taught them how to write down their stories. The stories were written down in a book called The Popol Vuh.  

The Popol Vuh was written in an old language, but it contained the stories of how the world was created, how humans were made, and how the Maize God taught humans how to think and communicate.   

The Popol Vuh is a beautiful story that teaches us the power of communication and the importance of writing down our stories.
