[lla]man xólotl. Y fue visto y hallado entre los pies del maíz. Otra vez echó a huir, y se escondió entre los magueyes, y convertióse en maguey que tiene dos cuerpos, que se llama mexólotl. Otra vez fue visto, y echó a huir, y metióse en el agua, y hízose pez, que se llama axólotl. De allá le tomaron y le mataron.
\nY dicen que aunque fueron muertos los dioses, no por eso se movió el Sol. Y luego el viento comenzó a suflar o ventear reciamente. Él le hizo moverse para que anduviese su camino. Y después que el Sol comenzó a caminar, la Luna estuvo queda en el lugar donde estaba. Después del Sol comenzó la Luna a andar. Desta manera se desviaron el uno del otro, y ansí salen en diversos tiempos. El Sol dura un día, y la Luna trabaja en la noche o alumbra en la noche.
