Bienvenios de new, Villajeros were sitting around a small fire with our Moiska rescuers The night has

fallen and the lake shimmers under the moonlight So What do you do you did you

do our lake Sagado It's a large history All Allo

all It's With the Diario of my Biss-Awelo As I

share our journey, I notice how the Moiske Lieder listens carefully. His people call him El Guardian, the guardian of their sacred lake. The fire illuminates ancient symbols on his clothing that speak of La Erencia, the heritage they preserved through centuries. The elder beside him nods, I mentioned my great-grandfather's journal, which documented La Legenda, the legend, La Legend, the legend of El Dorado that brought us here. Every word I speak seems weighted with El Secreto, the secret they've protected for generations. The Moistka was our intention profanar this

place. Only wanted to understand the history. The Moiska exchange glances at Anna's words. I can see they value the tradition. The tradition that connects them to their ancestors. Ancestors. The elder man's eyes reflect the sabidoria, the wisdom of countless generations.

I understand his curiosity, but they've comprehended the importance of our secret. I now realize how we must approach

this situation with respect. No lo saviamos. We didn't know, I explained. Respectamos those traditions. We respect your traditions.

I assure them. Their expressions softened slightly. Can you tell us more? Can you tell us more? Can you tell us more? I asked cautiously. Prometemus guard the secret.

We promise to keep the secret, I add, hoping to earn their trust. What will be now? What are you with us? Deven jure that they'll that they'll make our secreto. A change,

we'll we'll we're part of our saboviria. And what will

what will be with Rodrigo and those not they

don't they not our guardians are they're not

regressen thanks for your confidence what we what we

can we can we we This is a real decaza of our culture that more than the world. This is incredible. We came to uncover the secrets of Lake Guatavita.

Fortunately, instead of looting it, we find ourselves in the presence of something or someone profoundly more enriching. Our Moiska rescuer doesn't know any English, so I'm sorry of our conversation has been hard to follow. Don't worry. I've summarized all the key vocab from our interaction. Let's go over it now. The legend is La Legenda. La Legend. The ancestor is El Ancestra. Next we have the heritage. La Erencia. La Ereencia.

Next is the secret. Do you remember the word for the secret? El secreto. El. Secreto. How about the tradition? La tradition. La tradition.

El guardian. El guardian. How do you say? The wisdom. La sabidoria. And we should cover the following useful phrases that were mentioned in our interaction. The first being, we didn't know. Past tense, we didn't know.

No lo saviamos. No, lo, saviamos. We didn't know. No lo saviamos. We didn't know. We know. No, we told our rescuer, we respect your traditions. Respects his traditions.

Respectamos sus traditions. We respect your traditions. Respect our traditions. Respectamos his traditions. After, I asked him, Can you tell us more? Pueden contarnos more?

Can you tell us more? Pueden. Can you multiple? Contarnos tell us more. Finally, we promise to keep the secret. We said, we promise to keep the secret. Prometemeter

We'll make our secreto. Prometemus guard the secret. Fue. Bueno, deaheros. Again, it seems like our adventure

has taken another unexpected turn. We've gone from, I guess you could say, treasure hunters, to students of Moiska wisdom, and I for one, am eternally grateful.
