THE AHUIZOTL

People say that in the depths of the lakes and lagoon lives a estrange creatur called Ahuizotl.

Ahuizotl looks like small black dogs with a tail shaped as a little hand.

When Ahuizotl barks he sound like a child who is crying. Many people have been tricked by Ahuizotl.

They say that at first you hear the cry of a child coming from the water. You run towards the water because you think that a child is drowning!

            There you see a little hand waving from the water and, of course, you don’t even take your shoes or you hat off; all you want to do is rescue the little child. But, don’t be fooled!

There is not child!

It is Ahuizotl barking like a crying child. It is Ahuizotl waving his uncanny tails out of the water.

Don’t go inside the water. Don’t go!      

People say Ahuizotl feels lonely inside the lake; he wants your company.

             Whoever jumps in the water, Ahuizotl would take with him to the depths of the water forever.

(Ahuizotl=Ah-wee-zo-tul)
