Just want The Legend of the Hornero - Argentine?
In a village full of sunshine, there was a girl named Jahe and a boy named Yaguaru. They loved to sing happy songs. They sang all day long. They wanted to build a little house together, a cozy little house for just them. To show everyone their love was strong, they had a special test to pass. This is the story of how their song gave them wings, a story called The Legend of the Hornero.
To prove their love, Jahe and Yaguaru had to stay inside a little clay hut. It was round and cozy. They had to sing their happy songs for many days. Were they scared. No, no, no. They just sang and sang their happy song. A warm, tingly feeling filled the little hut. Their arms felt light like feathers. Soft, brown feathers began to grow. Pop, pop, pop. They were not a boy and a girl anymore. They had become two beautiful birds.
With a flap, flap, flap, they flew out into the big, blue sky. They were birds now. They knew just what to do. They gathered wet mud and tiny twigs. Working together, they built a strong, round nest. Their nest looked just like a little oven, safe and warm. Today, these birds are called Horneros. They remind everyone that with love, you can build the most wonderful home in the world.
