ABSTRACT

This chapter presents the concluding remarks of the tale Ada Reis. Not far from the town of Guatimala, upon the Rio Las Vaccas, in the province of Honduras, in Mexico, arise two mountains. The one remarkable for its perpetual verdure, blooming flowers, and richly cultivated land; the other for a wild and barren volcano, ever groaning deeply from within, and rolling to the heavens volumes of sulphureous smoke. The good spirit is said to inhabit the verdant mountain, where spring ever reigns; and the evil spirit to dwell in the volcano, from whence it rushes forth in flame and desolation. Thus ends the history of Ada Reis.
