Fire and animals. Mexican legend

Legend has it that a long time ago the animals talked and did things about people, but since they did not have fire and the matches still did not exist, the poor things had to eat raw food, which they did not like altogether.

At that time the jaguar did not have its spots, it was a single color, yellow and nothing else. One day while I was sunbathing on a mountain, the sun watched him closely. Mr. Sun was so sorry to see that both the jaguar and the animals suffered from eating raw food, decided to talk to the jaguar and say:

- Jaguar I will give you one thing that you will use and share with the other animals.

- Is it something to eat?- asked the jaguar.

-It is fire, raise that branch with dry grass, that I will light it to you- answered the sun.

The jaguar, grateful for the good gesture of the sun, ran with the torch on, but did not share it with the other animals. Sooner or later all the animals learned of the valuable possession of the jaguar. Then it was the owl to ask for a little fire, but the jaguar did not want to give it to him. Then they sent the Vizcaya but the jaguar refused and began to roar, managing to drive it away. Finally came an astute fox that managed to deceive the jaguar and stole a little fire. The fox ran and ran, until the jaguar stumbled over a stone and got stained. At the end the jaguar was left with stains, alone and with a bad mood for not having shared the precious fire. The rest of the animals enjoyed the fire and lived happily ever after.
