EL CONEJO DE LA LUNA
« on: December 11, 2011, 12:48:05 AM »
Por favor, dime sobre la leyenda "El conejo de la luna".
No estoy seguro sobre el parte final.

At the end of the story did Quetzalcoatl stamp the image of the rabbit on the moon?

Quetzalcóatl, el dios grande y bueno, se fue a viajar una vez por el mundo en figura de hombre. Como había caminado todo un día, a la caída de la tarde se sintió fatigado y con hambre. Pero todavía siguió caminando, caminando, hasta que las estrellas comenzaron a brillar y la luna se asomó a la ventana de los cielos. Entonces se sentó a la orilla del camino, y estaba allí descansando, cuando vio a un conejito que había salido a cenar.
-¿Qué estás comiendo?, - le preguntó.
-Estoy comiendo zacate. ¿Quieres un poco?
-Gracias, pero yo no como zacate.
-¿Qué vas a hacer entonces?
-Morirme tal vez de hambre y de sed.
El conejito se acercó a Quetzalcóatl y le dijo;
-Mira, yo no soy más que un conejito, pero si tienes hambre, cómeme, estoy aquí.
Entonces el dios acarició al conejito y le dijo:
-Tú no serás más que un conejito, pero todo el mundo, para siempre, se ha de acordar de ti.
Y lo levantó alto, muy alto, hasta la luna, donde quedó estampada la figura del conejo. Después el dios lo bajó a la tierra y le dijo:
-Ahí tienes tu retrato en luz, para todos los hombres y para todos los tiempos.
 
Yes he did.

And the great god Quetzalcotal had to leave his people, but promised to return on a certain day (he told them the day, but not the year) and so he left in a "floating house" from what today is known as the port of Veracruz.

And on the appointed day in 1519, Hernan Cortes, complete with red hair and beard (which Quetzalcoatl supposedly had) arrived with his ships and entourage (including his interpreter and mistress, Dona Marina aka "La Malinche" [also less respectfully known as "La Chingada"]---who has the dual role of mother of her race and betrayer of her race). The natives mistook him for a god, and when questioned about it (being much smarter than the Rick Moranis character in Ghostbusters) Cortes answered words to the effect of "You bet your bippy I am, we all are"  Of course after a while the natives figured out (I suspect that many of them knew it all along) that they weren't gods.......of course a struggle ensued, but no matter how brave the natives were, they were no match for armor, horses, muskets and canons, not to mention strange European diseases...... and that's why today most Mexicans speak Spanish.
