There was a high mountain -proudly rising, almost touching the stars and on its sides, strange people lived, who were somewhat fool and were always complaining of living by the shadow of the mountain.
"It blocks the sunlight, the vision of the horizon, a big portion of the ocean, we can't even see the stars. It is necessary to make this mountain flat, so we can see the horizon, the stars and a lot more." And their determination was such that they dynamited the mountain during many years and the day came when there was no mountain.
The horizon and the stars could be seen but they were surprised when their neighbors from near by villages, wanted to have their land. Then, they were attacked because there was no longer a mountain protecting them, and also, the strong sunlight burned their fields, while the winds like crazy warriors scattered the ashes and the people who had lived by the side of the mountain, bitterly cried contemplating the stars and the horizon until the moment that the people who did not understand nor appreciate their natural frontier, turned into dry sand and dust that the wind blew away.
And the story goes that the years passed and those people are not even remembered. And the persons who would arrive to that place, would say: " How beautiful this land could be, if it had a big mountain so its presence could be a natural barrier to care and protect, but this is a dream that will never happen"
