bat legend
Online Teotihuacan. (Traditional Mexican Legend - Oaxaca) Legend has it that the bat was once the most beautiful bird of Creation.
The bat was at first as we know it today and called biguidibela (biguidi Bela = = butterfly and meat, the name came to mean something like butterfly naked).
A cold day up to heaven and asked the operator feathers, as seen in other flying animals. But the operator did not have feathers, so I recommended to fall back to earth and ask for a pen to each bird. And so did the bat, yes, using only the birds with colorful feathers and more colors.
When he finished his tour, the bat had a large number of feathers that fell around her body.
Aware of her beauty, proudly showing it flew and flew all the birds, who stopped to admire its flight. Now waved their feathered wings, flapping happy and with an air of arrogance. Once, as an echo of his flight, he created the rainbow. It was all beauty.
But his pride was so superb that it became an increasingly be offensive to the birds. With your continued
swagger, made her feel all those little ones were at his side, regardless of the qualities they have. Even the hummingbird it complained to become owner of one tenth of its beauty.
When the Creator saw that the bat was not content to enjoy their new feathers, but that used to humiliate others, asked him to go up to heaven, where he strutted and fluttered happy. Fluttered and fluttered as his feathers fell off one by one, discovering new bare as ever. Throughout the day
feathers rained down from heaven, and since then our bat has left naked, retiring to live in caves and forgetting his sense of sight to avoid having to remember all the colors that once had and lost.
