Ever wonder where chocolate came from? We have the Mayan king Kukulkan to thank. Kukulkan is more than a king he is also a god. One day he brings his people an amazing gift: a chocolate tree! But there is just one problem. Kukulkans brother, Night Jaguar, doesnt want regular people to have chocolate. He thinks only gods should eat the tempting treat. Will Night Jaguar prevail?
