This is a COLUMBIAN creation story of the Muzo Indians, which took place in current day Muzo/Chivor emerald mines in Columbia.
Because this story was taken from Spanish, the words will not be exactly the same but the meaning will remain the same.

The Verde Emerald

The fascinating bewitchment of the gorgeous green stone attracted the Muzo Indians who dwelled within their permanent abode in the pregnant mountain ranges of gems, where they were eradicated.
The splendor of the beautiful stone had inspired in them the explanation of their genesis. Told in a poetic story, it is a combination of reality and fantasy.
With mountains full of emeralds, an exuberant nature filled area with the most beautiful butterflies in the world, a great variety of poisoned serpents and a variety of animal life, as well as a broken mountain by a river, was the paradise Muzo, where their god lived.
From those magical surroundings, the lives of the couple that would live in this paradise had to take place.
The Legend says that the great creator of the territory and the Muzo's land was formed by a fabulous and real God in a great sloping shadow appearing over the sides of the Big River Magdalena. While walking with slow movements throughout the immensity of the space the creation of mountains and valleys were formed.
God stopped at the borders of the sacred river and took a small amount of land where he formed woman called Fura and man called Tena. He threw them into the running water where they were purified with foam kisses. They took breath, and life had begun for the two first human beings.
Love had to be unique and exclusive between each one. This rule had to be ordered; otherwise, infidelity would cause aging and death for both.
The legend says that over the centuries the couple inhabited the land until once, by the side of the river to the west, appeared a young man from a rare race named Zarbi. He showed up looking for a privileged flower that had in it’s fragrance the ease for every pain and in it’s essence, the cure to all illness.
The young man traveled over the mountains, crossed rivers and hiked up trees on various days in search of the precious flower. Fura, seeing that his movements were in vain, offered to travel along with him.
As the days passed, the feelings between both changed and suddenly they fell in love. Finding a place in the jungle, Fura became unfaithful to Tena. Afterward, the pain of Fura's guilt on her conscience turned into a deep sadness. Aging started to show up each and every day. This was proof to Tena of her lack of infidelity.
Tena then understood that the sacred law of the unique and exclusive love between them had been violated by Fura and knew that they had to die. As punishment, Tena had to die first and Fura had to endure three days on her knees, over the mortal body of her husband in order to clean the remainder with her unfaithful and repentant tears. So Tena killed himself with his sharpened weapon after putting it across his heart while laying beside Fura’s knees. She had to look and suffer the horrendous process of death and human decomposition.
Before his eternal absence, Tena searched for his revenge and converted Zarbí into a naked rocky terrain over a long distance land, so that Tena could hit him with rays of branches and the solar mansion from the Muzo’s sky that shined down on Muzo.
Zarbí defended himself by converting his blood into a torrent of water that flooded Muzo's land. When he observed Fura with Tena's body, the water became more torrential until both bodies were separated apart forever and were left one facing the other permanently embedded in rocky terrain divided by an enormous current of water later called the Minero River.
The legend says that Tena's death was so painful to Fura, that her screams of pain perforated the echoes of the silent jungle and broke into millions of multicolored butterflies. Her tears, her torrent of tears, were transformed by the sun into a mountain range of emeralds.
Fura and Tena were eventually forgiven by their god after showing them that the waters of the Minero River (Zarbí's blood) had clarified and cleansed their unfaithfulness. Together again, Fura and Tena were made guards over the storms, the suns rays and the serpents.
THE END

May I ask what did you intend to prove by altering the story? Coz indeed, anyone can modify a creation or any other story, but what's the point exactly?

I know this story well. The only modifications I see to the story are where you flipped some of the words because they were originally in Spanish. I can understand that. Your version gives the story a broader sense of description.

I can tell that you are a romantic Jack. Is that why you are blushing red.
