The Legend of the Quetzal
In the beginning, quetzals were all
green. But, then something
happened.
A long time, there was a man. His
name was Tecún Umán.
He was a Mayan warrior.
He was fighting against the Spanish
“conquistadores.”
One day, there was a huge
battle.
Pedro de Alvarado fought against
Tecún Umán.
Pedro struck Tecún Umán in the
chest, and he fell to the ground.
Then, a quetzal flew down and
rested on his chest. Tecún Umán’s
blood stained the quetzal’s chest.
That is why quetzals have a red
chest.
