A long time ago in a village in Mexico lived a beautiful young woman named Xanath, daughter of a wealthy of the place, this family had so much money that his father bought a palace, they enjoyed with all the comforts and the luxuries worthy of kings.

The beautiful girl used to go out for a walk in the forest, a huge forest that surrounded the palace, one day in her morning walks she found a small wooden hut, in it lived a good-looking young man named Tzarahuín, a hard-working boy And humble, his life was quiet without many expectations, had nothing to do with the economic position of the beautiful young woman.

But as they know fate works mysteriously, in matters of love is a bit capricious, the moment they met and their eyes crossed they knew that there was chemistry and they knew love at first sight.

Like every day he went out to take his morning walk through the palace forest, it was the moment when the young lovers made their meeting, as the days went by this love grew by leaps and bounds, the daytime meeting was not enough, The beautiful Xanath looked for any excuse to meet her lover Tzarahuín, she always did it hidden from the family, she knew her father, she knew she would not agree to approve this love, she would never consent to marry a poor person without Nothing to offer his future wife.

One afternoon, after having visited her lover, the beautiful Xanath went out to walk through the town, she was very happy to have seen Tzarahuín, that day she decided to visit the hills of the town, she went very happy singing a beautiful song of love, Her face looked more beautiful and happier than ever, when passing by the temple some of the gods fell in love with the beautiful girl, I was hypnotized by the beauty and sympathy of the beautiful young woman, could not retain her momentum and followed the beautiful woman.

The God turned out to be the powerful God of happiness, fell in love at first sight, decided at the same moment that he would have to be his wife, hurrying the steps to reach the beautiful Xanath, when he reached her without express love for her and Proposed that he accept to be his wife.

Xanath was very surprised by the proposal of the God, with much respect appreciated his proposal, was flattered by such a wonderful proposal, but could not accept since his heart had owner and was called Tzarahuín.

The God who did not accept a no answer, repeated again, said that nothing was lacking, although he did not know his fiancé but surely would not have the economic position that he could offer for his love, the young woman replied that he would never marry Another person who was not his beloved, God insisted on the proposal of marriage and she rejected how many times received the proposal, the God of happiness lost his balance, was very angry with the refusal of the beautiful girl to the point of threatening, some You will regret your repentance, said the mighty God.

The beautiful Xanath returned to the palace without giving much importance and forgetting that proposal of marriage, but never would have imagined that the God spoke very serious to the point that when it arrived at the palace, the father received it with good news.

The father was very happy and honored to have received an invitation to the temple, said that a very powerful God wanted to meet him that same night, which he attended in gala dress, to honor the mighty God of happiness.

The mighty God was very clever, he made this meeting to gain his trust and friendship, all the time he went and treated him as a king to the young man's father, received valuable gifts, at the moment of parting, when God saw That there was good confidence with the father of the girl, confessed his love for his beautiful daughter Xanath and ask for his hand in marriage.

The father very excited by the beautiful news, I do not hesitate for a moment and promised the beautiful Xanath to marry him, very happy the father of the young woman returned to his palace, could not have received better news, there was in the World a man more deserving of the love of his beloved daughter than the God of happiness.

The next day the God appeared in the palace of the young woman, the father received him very happy and sent to call the beautiful Xanath, she came quickly to the call of his beloved father, great was his surprise to see God sitting with his Father, but his surprise was greater when the father announced his commitment to marry God.

She felt very sorry, she expressed her refusal to this union, never in her life would she get the love of her heart, nothing God could do to fall in love again in her heart, I firmly express that her heart has an owner and that he knew of Beforehand this situation.

The God of happiness lost his sanity, at that same moment began to insult the capricious young woman, cursed the day to meet her, clarified that she was engaged to marry him, if he did not he would not do it with anyone, Hearing these words repeated that he could do nothing to conquer his heart, his heart had an owner and his name was Tzarahuín.

Hearing these words God raised his hands and pronounced a powerful spell, transforming it into a Vanilla plant with beautiful yellow flowers.

This was how the vanilla plant was born, the sacrifice of the beautiful Xanath, now turned into one of the most beautiful flowers in the world, possessing a strong essence very used in our time.
