II. Legend story

It is said that long ago, in the plateau area near Mexico City, there was a tribe. The people of this tribe loved peace and did not like war. Only when others invaded them would they fight back with all their strength. Later, after the new chief Metemoc ascended to power, he began to stir up wars everywhere. One day, Metemoc wanted to wage war against a tribe in the north, so as to marry the daughter of that tribe's chief. On the way there, he was moved and reformed by the Moon Goddess, and from then on changed his mind, becoming gentle and humble. Afterward, the Moon Goddess turned Metemoc into an agave, for people to use, as a way to atone for his sins.
