The story goes that on a cloudy afternoon, a flock of geese passed the school campus while migrating south. One of them, flying wounded, landed to rest in the lake of the Ibero Puebla accompanied by two of his companions. It was then that a Jesuit priest, fond of birds, noticed the three geese and decided to find out more about these animals, finding that they are intelligent animals that work as a team.
