Introduction
Today we going to tell you a story, which will make you jump
from your seats, will make you scream.
Is the story of the Segua. A very pretty woman, the most
beautiful of her people but with a great defect, his pride, so
lets see what happened to her.
Development
More than two hundred years ago, in a small village in
Cartago, lived a very beautiful woman, the most beautiful of
the town. Bella like a rose, with sharp curves, beautiful busts,
turned legs and a face without equal. Yet she was very proud
and had on regard for her parents, whom she often humiliated
and disobeyed, for she was said to be very unhappy about
being poor.
Legend has it that, one day, this beautiful young woman
received an invitation from a wealthy and handsome Spaniard
to attend a dance, to which her mother objected, for the young
man was recognized for his attributes of conquistador and not
formal with that girls.
In the face of her mothers refusal, the young woman burst
into rage and blasphemed her and filled her humbled home
with insults; her mother watched her and cried silently, at the
attitude of her daughter, but it was not enough for her to insult
her, but at one point she raised her hand to slap her, but she
had not yet fully lifted her hand, with big nails and help the
hand of the ungrateful daughter, then heard a rumbling voice
that said: I curse you bad woman, to offend and pretend to
hit who gave you lite, from today and for the rest of the
centuries men will come to you but by your frightful face you
will run.
This is how since then the segua appears suddenly on the
road asking a rider to take her on his house, arguing that he
goes to the nearest Town: there is not a man who resists
such a beautiful body and sweet plea but once he climbs on
the horses hips her face is transformed into that of a horrible
beast like that of a horse whinnying.
The segua also appears to those many men who walk late at
night in the Street, she appears to them and with her
sweetness makes him believe that it is a new conquest but at
a given moment shows her horse face.
Conclusion
Many say they had encounters with the segua and even today
it is mentioned that on any road when you go in your car and
at night, you must be careful who makes you stop, because
she will climb with all its charms to your car. When you are
absorbed with your beauty you will become what is, the
segua.
