1. The Legend of
the Blue Frog
Berta, Erica, Theodora and

2. The Sun God, Nana smiled when he looked at
his treasure, in the tall tree of the pond. It’s
called a cocoa tree . The cocoa beans grew in
many pods hanging from that tree.
It was the secret food of gods. Nana enjoys his
cocoa beans. Rich and dark, he loved the
flavour of his cocoa.
“This is completely divine”. He said as he
gobbled it up.

3. Quetza the God of delight, saw him devour his
cocoa. Quetza went near the Sun god and told
him “You should give some of your treasure to
the people on earth”. Nana grinned. “Ha, of
course not this food is for Gods. It is a strict
policy. I will never give it to them. Never ever
never!”
Quetza continued “Earth people deserve to
taste this delicious treat.” The God of Sun
became angry. “Go away and never come
back. Cocoa is not meant to be touched by a
human’s mouth”.

4. Quetza turned himself into a little blue frog and
hid near a big leaf in the great pond. He
thought to himself and said if Nana will not give
it to the people I will speak to them. The frog sat
at the edge of the pond and said
“Rrrrrrreeeeeeeeeep. Rrrrrrrrrreeeeeeep
Sun God hides his treasure deep,
By the pond inside large pods
He hides the secret food of gods”

5. The children and parents listened as he sang
the song and they all ran to their town to
sing the song
“Rrrrrrreeeeeeeeeep. Rrrrrrrrrreeeeeeep
Sun god hides his treasure deep,
By the pond inside large pods
He hides the secret food of gods”

6. They all started looking for the treasure. They
found a big tree and found the pods full of
cocoa. They found the secret food of the Gods.
Nana was angry but there was nothing they
could do to stop it. His secret was no longer a
secret.
They replanted the seeds to grow more trees
Then they made a delicious cocoa drink.
The Aztec people had discovered this and
now it is known to everyone as hot chocolate.

8.  TheAztecs used to keep all the gods happy
by offering human sacrifice.They used to
capture people from other tribes and also
sacrifice their children.

9.  The priest of theAztecs was speaking to one
of the gods and the god said when you see an
eagle perched on a cactus holding a snake
you will find the place to settle down .

10.  The priest was walking near a lake that had a
cactus and they saw an eagle which was
holding a snake in his mouth.

11.  They realised that it was the place to settle
down because they saw what the god had
told them.

12.  The priest ran back to the Aztec camp to tell
the people what he had seen. TheAztecs
built their city here .

15. The sun god, Nanahuazin, grinned as he looked
at his perfect, precious treasure.
IT WAS HIS CACAO TREE FROM WHAT THE
CACAO GREW.
Hidden inside the leaf of the cacao plant was
the secret food of the gods .
Every single day Nanahuazin ate his cacao. His
cacao was rich and dark.

16. The sun god loved and savoured his cacao. The
flavour was so good.
“ This is delicious’’ he said as he ate and
enjoyed his cacao. “Hum num”.
Nearby, QUETZACUTAL THE GOD OF THE LIGHT SAW
THE SUN GOD AND HE GOT REALLY ANGRY.
THE GOD OF DELIGHT SAID TO THE SUN GOD YOU
SHOULD SHARE WITH THE PEOPLE. THE SUN GOD
LAUGHED.

17. “NEVER, I WILL NEVER SHARE” THE SUN GOD SAID. “IT
IS MEANT FOR THE GODS ONLY”. HE ANSWERED “THE
PEOPLE DESERVE TO TASTE THE CACAO” .
THE GOD OF DELIGHT TURNED INTO A BLUE FROG AND
WENT BACK DOWN TO EARTH. HE SANG THIS SONG
Rrrrrrreeeeeeeeeep. Rrrrrrrrrreeeeeeep
Sun god hides his treasure deep,
By the pond inside large pods
He hides the secret food of gods
The People looked for the treasure and they
found the cocao.

20. One day the god of the wind and the god
of the sky were talking. The God of the sky
told the God of the wind to find music
because there wasn’t any music ,so the
god set off to search for it. The god of the
sky told the other god to find the music in
the sun’s house.

21. So off went the god of the wind to the sun’s
house. On his way to the sun, the god
found himself in a big maze. Suddenly he
got lost and kept going in circles and
heard beautiful voices and followed it and
reached the sun’s house. .

22. When he entered the sun’s house he saw,
flute players dressed in gold dresses, the
wondering minstrels dressed in blue, the
lullaby singers wore white and the love
song singers wore red.
The Wind God got very angry and had
dark clouds around him. He snatched the
players and took them to earth.

23. That is how Music
came to the world
