Story in a box:

A long time ago, in a far away place, there once lived an old ancient curse. This curse fell upon anyone who dared to drink the special water out of the small pot. This curse granted everyone amazing luck, wealth and eternal life. Some say it isn't a curse, but with every positive comes a negative. If you dare lose the small pot or let the water run dry, your luck will go down hill and all things positive cease to exist. Most people end up dying within a week of losing the pot. This small pot has been in hiding for many many years. No one knows where it is until now... 1,000 years later.

One beautiful day, Felipe was walking down the street. He was a tall man playing his drum and loved to have a scarf around his neck. He was walking through the streets of Mexico, where he passed a farm. Felipe was minding his own business, just eating the chestnuts he had brought from home and wondering down the street. All of a sudden he found himself in a strange place. He couldn't remember where he was and he was extremely thirsty. He searched and searched for water but found nothing. Then he found this small tan and green pot on the ground. He noticed there was water in and drank it. And all of sudden everything was turning into luck. He found ancient rare coins and a leather wallet. He was so excited about his new luck he told everyone in the village were he lived.

Word got out about Felipe's new found pot and his amazing luck. People in the village had heard about this and wanted the special pot with water. They all knew it was the good luck pot, and would stop at nothing to get it. Everyone was trying to take it from him, but Felipe knew he had to guard it or bad things would happen. He wanted to break the curse, so he went to the village wizard. It was a giant wooden head that knew everything. He was told the only way to break the curse was to travel to Africa, find an African Masai women and bring her a rare piece of cloth made from wool.

Felipe did as he was told. He traveled to Africa to go find this women. When he arrived in Africa, the only way to get to the women was by canoe. This canoe ride took Felipe through thick jungle and through thick grass, so he taped his knife to his ruler for protection. When arriving to the women he explained what had happened and that he didn't know about the curse at the time. The Masai women was extremely thankful Felipe brought the cloth and the small pot back so she could end the curse once and for all. The Masai women rewarded Felipe with a rare marble stamp that grants him access to remote places around the world.

Felipe returned to his home back in Mexico. He was disappointed he didn't have his luck anymore, but it was all worth it in the end. Felipe celebrated with a huge meal, served on a beautiful plate he got while he was in Africa.
