[they are watching a girl painting Jokel]
That's J'ok-el!
Carmen Romero:
Well, that's how they call her here. It's a Mayan name, but most Mexicans call her La Llorona. The Weeping Woman. We shouldn't speak out loud about her, we shouldn't say her name.
[whispering]
Carmen Romero:
It's too dangerous. She was born in here, in San Cristobal. She felt in love with a Spanish Soldier, they had two children, and then he left her for another woman. That night, she went insane... She took her children to a lake, and she drowned them.
George Christensen:
So, this is like a bed time story.
Carmen Romero:
No, when she realized what she had done, she filled her pockets with stones and walked to the bottom of the lake.
