This is the picture of the man who entreats the god gives them corn I find some farming mythology about corn. Corn is the major crops of Maya, so there's some mythology of corn. First, corn's existence was under the mountain or an huge rock. The only one can eat is the ants. The man asks the god for help, and the god remove some precious foods from under the ground. All the human can takes it. At first, all the corns are white. However, a lightening bolt makes it burned. Some grains smoked, this is why they are now black, yellow and red varieties in the grain. There's also a corn god among Maya is Yum K'aax.

Pretty good job describing the myth. You did not, however, discuss what the myth means to you. You must try to find the meaning of the myth. Why did the corn need to be struck by lightning, for instance?
