In my recent trip to Mexico I learned about the aluxes, small elves that, according to Mayan folklore, protect the nature of the Yucatán Peninsula. Today’s story is about one of the aluxes and the mischief that they stir up when their environment is disturbed without their permission. This story is in the third person and present tense. Important vocabulary in the story includes: “alux” (mayan word for a spiritual little person that causes chaos or brings luck, depending on how you treat it), “cenote” (“water-filled sinkhole, sometimes covered, sometimes open, often very deep and fed by underground rivers”), “dejar” (to leave),“divertirse” (to have fun), “se ríe” (laughs), “travieso” (mischievous), “herramientas” (tools), and “caras” (faces). No matter where you are in your language journey, stories will help you on your way. You can find a transcript of the story and read along at <a href='https://smalltownspanishteacher.com/2025/06/23/simple-stories-in-spanish-eloy-el-alux/'>https://smalltownspanishteacher.com/2025/06/23/simple-stories-in-spanish-eloy-el-alux/</a>  ¡Muchas gracias por escuchar!
