Popol Vuh: A Retelling
Illustration by Pedro Gomes This is the story of Princess Ixkik’, who, upon hearing the story of the calabash tree, reached it and wanted to touch it.
She was the daughter of Kuchumakik.
“Will I die if I touch the fruits? Surely they must be delicious.”
She was soon on her way to Pukbal, alone.
“Isn’t it beautiful how the tree is covered with fruit?”
