funny mayan stories

A funny Mayan story involves a group of children who found a magical flute. When they played it, it made all the adults in the village dance uncontrollably. The kids thought it was the funniest thing ever as the usually serious adults were hopping around like crazy. They finally stopped when the kids hid the flute, which is a really light - hearted and humorous story.

There is a story about a Mayan peasant who accidentally became a hero. He was on his way to the market when he stumbled upon a magic stone. When he touched it, strange things started to happen.
