Discovery of Chocolate

It was a day like any other day, walking around the houses in the hot sun, until one of my friends came running to me and saying ‘‘come, come, I see something unsal’’ and I went and followed her. We came to these trees that were all around the place and we were really shocked.

We finally found food and we were so hungry. They were like these yellow footballs and they looked very weird. We cut them open and what was in there was this white slimy stuff that looked like fish but when you open the inside of that slimy thing it was these big brown seeds and we thought we could make something with it, like food.

We ran to our parents and to our family and we told them what we found. They were very instead and they wanted to make something with it so we thought and thought and thought. Then I yelled ‘‘Xocoatl’’ and everyone stopped to look at me like that was such a great idea.

Everyone thought that we should make a drink out of it. We took the seeds out one by one and we all worked hard. We let them rotten but not for very long. Then we let them dry out in the sun and and and we mashed them to pieces with a rock. Then we mixed it to turn into liquid. And that was a beautiful drink Xocoatl.

It tasted very different and weird but we started drinking it every single day and we got used to it. Lots of the babies liked it better than water and milk. Everyone carried me and my friends up in the air and they said thank you to us for making a new drink.

It was very hard to make it but all the work paid off. After all of that everyone thought that we were chefs and we could find more food and make things into it. Have a chocolatey day everyone.
