[THE SEARCH FOR GOLD]
"The Marigold, that goes to bed with the sun,
And with him rises weeping."
—Shakespeare.
BOUT four hundred years ago travelers returning to Europe brought back wondrous tales of rich gold mines in the country of Mexico, and after a while the people of Spain sent an army to fight the Mexicans and rob them of their riches.
When the Spanish army reached the City of Mexico, which stood in the midst of a great plain, they were struck with wonder at the beauty and grandeur of all they saw.
