2. 2. The Sun God, Nana smiled when he looked at his treasure, in the tall tree of the pond. Its 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. 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 humans mouth.
4. 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. 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. 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.
