ONCE UPON A TIME...IN A DEHYDRATED MEXICO, there was a kid called Pedro, his old PAPA and their donkey.
EVERY DAY...PEDRO, PAPA and DONKEY drank water from a hidden well and they kept the water from the thirsty villagers.
BUT ONE DAY... LADY DEATH appeared to take PAPA with her. PAPA drew out the thunder sword to keep LADY DEATH at bay. She disappeared but PAPA fell sick.
BECAUSE OF THAT... PAPA asked PEDRO to go to the ancient pyramid and bring the elixir of life. PEDRO cowardly refused for he was scared of LADY DEATH. PAPA figured giving PEDRO the thunder sword to protect himself from LADY DEATH.
BECAUSE OF THAT...PEDRO AND DONKEY rode to the pyramid and filled the gourd with elixir of life but thousands of corpses rose up to claim the elixir they once died for and threw PEDRO into a dark pit. PEDRO did not noticed LADY DEATH had been following him — she took the thunder sword from PEDRO.
BECAUSE OF THAT...Lady Death went after PAPA, who had no sword to protect himself from her. He was at her mercy.
UNTIL FINALLY...Lady Death made a mistake: she destroyed the sword of thunder — A thunder rage through the sky towards the pyramid and struck PEDRO - who woke up with thunder powers. He got DONKEY and himself out of the pyramid, rode back home and stood between PAPA and LADY DEATH. Pedro thundered DEATH while PAPA drank from the elixir of life.
EVER SINCE THAT DAY... PEDRO and PAPA and DONKEY share the water from the well with the villagers and since they had conquered death, they lived forever.
THE MORAL OF THE STORY is... GREED LEADS TO SELF-DESTRUCTION, GENEROSITY LEADS TO PROSPERITY.
