The Llorona was a tale of a woman who had great beauty and quite vain that fell in love with a ranchero who was wild and wanted to live freely. Those two got married and had two children. Over time, the ranchero grew tired of the woman and started living a free live once more. He only cared for their children and would ignore the woman all together. One night the man brought another woman with him as he spoke to his children and the woman in her rage, threw their children into the river. Then she was so sorry for what she did and tried to get them back but the current of the river had already taken them away. The people, say that at night you can see a woman walking by the river in a white robe crying for her children. That woman is only known now as La Llorona.
