In the beginning, quetzals were all

green. But, then something

happened.

Page 4: The legend of the quetzal

A long time, there was a man. His

name was Tecún Umán.

Page 5: The legend of the quetzal

He was a Mayan warrior.

Page 6: The legend of the quetzal

He was fighting against the Spanish

“conquistadores.”

Page 7: The legend of the quetzal

One day, there was a huge

battle.

Page 8: The legend of the quetzal

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.
