Corpus Christi an artistic dance of tigers, snakes and bees

Along time ago Luciano Toala was taking a walk through the town of Suchiapa when suddenly he heard some music. He wanted to know where it was coming from so he followed the sound until he got to a place inside a tree where he found a honeycomb where the bees were dancing around, he couldn’t believe his eyes so he run and got the people from the village, when everyone came back they found a deer a snake and a tiger worshiping the honeycomb.
