Legend suggests in the early settlement on the island there existed a noble family, who owned black slaves.[1] The daughter of the Majorat at the time was obliged to participate in a marriage of convenience, in order to increase their landholdings and wealth.[1] It was a loveless marriage and she began an illicit affair with one of her slaves. Eventually, they realized that the only way to fulfill their life was to escape their life together.[1] But, her husband had ordered her handmaid to follow her, and having been relayed their encounters, he ordered the capture of the slave.[1] After hearing hunting dogs, and knowing that it was not a hunting day, realized he was being hunted and escaped to the island interior.[1] After a day and noite of flight he was consigned to his fate, and began to cry. As the legend suggested, his tears multiplied, forming a small pond alongside a woodlot.
