There was a time when birds are not as we see now. Among them were squabbling because all believed they were more important than others, some for the beauty of his singing, some by their striking plumage. At that time, the Great Spirit who knows everything and everything has been created, called a meeting to elect one that would rule all birds with the nobility that required such a high office. The birds began to discuss with the other about the competition and began every one to extol its virtues, claiming to be worthy of such distinction.
It will surely be elected, the bird the sweetest song – Xkokolch said the nightingale, from the thick branch of a tree, so you can achieve the consensus of all and his voice is a caress for those who are grieving. ‘You’re wrong – said Cutz, turkey mountain, while perched on another tree, that’s not what we need. Who rules the other birds should be strong, with character and rigidity demanded by the job, to bring order where it never has been – and with its claws broke the branch he was sitting. – I disagree! – Chac-dzibdzib answered the Cardinal, while unfolding its wings – no other bird that is more capable than I am to govern here – My record is impeccable, and everyone admires my scarlet plumage. Dzul-Cutz, the peacock, listening to other birds trying to exalt its characteristics. But he, as then did not have a very beautiful plumage, was inhibited by low attractive, filled with envy. At one point, came to mind their Puhuy, the messenger of the roads, for being absent who had not heard that birds were discussing who should win the contest. Dzul-Cutz the Peacock, went to the house of the latter and told of the call: ‘I know I’m not able to compete with this plumage for this contest, and in your case, you have a beautiful plumage, but are too small to be King of Birds, and maybe you can miss the elegance and grace that I have.
I came to propose something: If you lend me your feather I could win the contest and then share my riches and honors of my kingdom. The bird Puhuy suspicious at first, but after he insisted Dzul-Cutz, managed to be convinced and lent their feathers, which at first were few, but then replicated to cover the body of the peacock with a great dress with a long tail with the turquoise sea and the warm colors of sunset. Dzul-Cutz the Peacock went to the elegant building where the birds had gathered to elect the King of Birds, and waddled into the neck erect and caused exclamasiones and most beautiful birds, which were thought to be worthy of the first instead moved his head in disbelief at the sight of the gallantry with which Dzul-Cutz took possession of the event, while singing a melodious warble. The Great Spirit, marveling at the image of the peacock, has not hesitated to proclaim to the Peacock as king of birds, and spread the news entoncesordenó all around, however, did not return Dzul-Cutz to Puhuy their feathers, and after the latter appeared a few weeks under a bush covering her, and cold. Having gained riches and honors, the Peacock had forgotten he had done for his friend. All birds were known to the Great Spirit that the Peacock had made that beautiful plumage through the treachery that had made Puhuy and demanded that he be punished. Since then, whenever the majestic peacock opens its beak, leaving no more beautiful song of his throat, but an unpleasant sound that causes laughter in other birds, as punishment for his wrongdoing.
