In a trip to Mexico I learned about the aluxes, small elves that, according to Mayan folklore, protect the nature of the Yucatán Peninsula. Today’s story is about one of the aluxes and the mischief that they stir up when their environment is disturbed without their permission.
There are two special words in this episode that come from the Mayan language. An “alux” is a spiritual little person that causes chaos or brings luck, depending on how you treat it and a “cenote” is water-filled sinkhole, sometimes covered, sometimes open, often very deep and fed by underground rivers.
This simple story is told in the third person and present tense and focuses on the words laughs, mischievous, platform, and tools. No matter where you are in your language journey, stories will help you on your way.

However, it would be his performance here, especially in the quarterfinal game against England, that would cement his name in history?
