I want to preserve as many of the amazing stories as possible! Here is another one, authentic errors included.

"Nicté-Há"
In the Mayab jungle had a realm wonderful. The prince of this realm his name is Chacdziedzib and was in love of Nicté-Há. He wanted and venerated for his town because been brave warrior.
Before dawn, the prince searched his girlfriend in the sacred cenote when first light of dawn breaked the sky with its rays.
His father sended a the best warrior for kill Nicté-Há. The prince ran to avoid Nicté-Há and arrived at the sacred cenote when she was, but arrow shot direct for Nicté-Há, she falled on one´s back at sacred cenote. Their love prohibited, she turned in flower (Nicté-Há) and he turned in cardinal bird.



One of the more common stories that I have heard has been the story of "The X-Tabay," a spirit who comes up from the the ceiba tree and seduces drunk men at night. Then she kills them and they are never heard from again. Also, there is the story of the "Way-Chivo," a dangerous wolf-creature, as well as the traditional stories about the aluxes, enanos, and duendes (little people) of the region.
It has been fascinating and very rewarding to work with the students on this topic. I am learning so much about their culture through their English writing!
Well, I am still buried under a pile of Observation Reports and Mid-Term Exams that I have to grade, and I´ve got class in an hour, so I´d better get back to work!
