<span>Nanahuatzin and
Tecuciztecatl are two Aztec Gods who have different characteristics far from
each other. Nanahuatzin or Nanahuati is the most humble of all gods. He sacrificed
himself so that he would continue to shine on earth as the sun by throwing himself
to the fire. The meaning of Nanahuatzin is “full of sores”. Usually, Nanahuatzin
is depicted as a man emerging from fire. Tecuciztecatl or Tecciztecatl on the
other hand, is the lunar deity in the Aztec mythology. He represents the old “man-in-the-moon”.
In the stories, it is said that all were living in a universe dominated by a
generation of sun gods. The first few sun gods either perished by wind storms,
jaguars, and fiery rain or by flood. After the fourth sun perished, Nanahuatzin
and Tecuciztecatl vied for the honor of becoming the next sun god. A bonfire was
built for it is there that they will sacrifice the next volunteer. It was
Nanahuatzin, a poor god, who was favored by the majority to be the next sun
god. Tecuciztecatl pushed that he was more deserving but at the last moment he hesitated.
It was because of Nanahuatzin’s courage that he jumped into the fire. But then Tecuciztecatl
gained courage too and followed the lead of Nanahuatzin. The other gods were
mad at the rich and proud Tecuciztecatl for he had followed the humble
Nanahuatzin and so they threw an imprint of the rabbit’s shape dimming Tecuciztecatl’s
brightness. This is the reason Tecuciztecatl’s brightness could only be seen at
night. </span>
The second one:The branches of the acacia tree were full of hollow splinters, which provided the shelter for ants living on the acacia tree. The small ants in the host are the workers of the crematogaster. The mimosa workers can nest in the hollow thorns, and enjoy the sweet juice secreted by the acacia leaves. To defend their interests, such small ants cannot tolerate other animals touching the trees on which they live. If there are outsiders, whether the other person is a big or puny child, they will recklessly launch an attack. If they find the Dirty beetles burrowing into the acacia trees, they can be exterminated by devouring the larvae of longhorn beetle beetles; And when the elephant or giraffe eats the leaves, the small ants will suddenly sting them, causing its burning pain.

Whitman, believes that truth exists everywhere. Whitman is not afraid of
death and believes that life does not come to a stop even after death.
Instead, the soul goes back to nature, and the remains of the dead grow
in the form of vegetation.
