A short meditation (with transcript for study)

La leyenda de la Isla de las Muñecas está situada en los canales de Xochimilco, se cuentan historias de muñecas poseídas que cuelgan de los árboles.
Pon atención al sonido de la X en el nombre de Xochimilco. En este caso suena como "sh" por ser una palabra proveniente de las lenguas precolombinas, es decir conservaron su pronunciación, a diferencia de "México" que suena como "j" o del uso más general que es el sonido de "ks" como "existe".
Puedes encontrar estas tres palabras en la primera frase de la leyenda. Trata de encontrar las demás.
