My favorite Maya/Spanish related story may be related to him. One of the Spaniards was trying to get a record of how the Maya language worked and asked for the letters for the alphabet.

But my favorite part is when he asked for a sentence in the language the man he was working with wrote out the equivalent of “I don’t want to.”
