The Huichols were saturated with eating the same thing and wanted something that could take each day but in very different ways. A boy heard about the corn and rich stews, tortilla soup and cereal prepared with this. But corn was far away on the other side of the mountain. That did not deter him and walked finding a line of ants. I knew they were the guardians of the corn so that followed.
After walking, the young man fell asleep and ants ate all his clothes, leaving him only with his bow and arrows. Naked and very hungry, young lamented. A bird perched on a nearby tree and the young man pointed his bow but he rebuked him saying that he was the father of corn. He invited him to his house where he would receive everything I was looking for. When he arrived he found his daughters, five very beautiful maidens, called Cob White, Blue Cob, Corn Yellow, Red and Black Cob Cob.
Blue ear so captivated by her beauty and sweetness, soon married and returned to the village. Having no home, slept a while in the place dedicated to the gods. As a matter of enchantment, the home of the newlyweds was filled every day with ears that adorned like flowers. People came from everywhere as Blue cob cobs gave them lavishly. The wife taught her husband how to plant corn and how to care. Upon learning of the delights of the new food many animals tried to steal it. Blue ear taught the people that was lighting bonfires near the cornfields to scare the creatures were searching for the tender corn. The elders say that Cob Blue, once taught the people everything he knew about the corn was ground itself and thus gave mankind the rich atole (hot cornflour drink).
