Aauca
During Spanish rule, there was a young woman named
Aauca who ________(live)in Monte Patria, a village near
the Limar River. Beautiful Aauca ________(draw)the
admiration of all the young men in her village, but none of
them were able to win her love.

One day, a handsome and enigmatic miner ___________(arrive), searching for a

mythical vein of gold. When he ____________(see) Aauca, he __________(fall) in
love with her, and she _________(love) him back. They _____________(live) happily
together in the village for some time. But one night, the miner
____________(have) a disturbing dream, in which a mountain spirit
_____________(reveal) to him the precise location of the gold that he
____________(be)seeking. He _____________(revive) his search for the gold,
promising Aauca that he would return.

Aauca ____________(wait) day after day, but her miner ________________ (not
return). Villagers _____________(say) he ________________(have)been swallowed
by the mirage, and sadness______________( settle) on Aaucas heart.
Inconsolable, she _____________(waste)away with grief, and ___________(die). The
villagers _________(cry) for her and ___________(bury) her one rainy day.

The next day, the sun _______________(warm) the valley and the spot where the
young woman __________(have) died was filled with beautiful red flowers.
Legends says that Aauca ___________(transform) herself into a flower as a
