Popo story from Cristyan Alan Hern·ndez Morales

Cristyan Alan Hern·ndez Morales sent the following,

Popocatepetl was a warior from the aztecs, he had a girlfriend, called IztacciÌhuatl, the other inactive volcano beside the Popo, they wanted to marry, but IztaccÌhuatl's father wanted a prove of Popocatepetl, he wanted to know if he deserved her daughter, the prove was to send him to battle with the mixtecos and conquer them, he had to bring the head of their emperor as a prove that he really conquered them.

He was sent there, to Oaxaca where the mixtecos lived, the battle took a really long time and IzteccÌhuatl was really sad because she thought that Popocetepetl was dead, she asked everybody if they had notices of him, nobody told her, and her father was obligatin her to marry the tepanecos prince, she didn't want to, so she didn't eat, she was almos dying, until one day she really died.

Popocatepetl arrived to the temple of IzteccÌhuatl's father and he received the bad notice, so he ook her dead body with her to a far away place and she put her in a position like if she was sleeping, he leaned on one knee and he died also.

Now, you can see from Mexico City the siluettes of both, IzteccÌhuatl seems to be a sleeping beauty, and the active volcano, Popocatepetl seems to be a man leaning on one knee, he wants revege so he is waking up.
