1 was locked up in jail for
life time. I thougnt if 1 stay
here I will die, if 1 go with Col
ambus I might get free. So I
went with him.
When we passed the Canary
Islands we begun to cry and
behave like children. We were
alright until we got to the Can
ary Islands because we could
keep close to shore. Wo thought
when we would get out in the
ocean we would run into a big
lake of fire.
We thought there were hob
goblins there. We thought the
world’ was square and when we
got to the edge we would drop
off.
So we we<e going to push
Columbus overboard when he
was looking at the stars. He
heard us talking about pushing
him overboard, so he always
would ride up in the masts. He
would not come down until we
went to sleep.
A i the last we were alvva.vs
straining our eyes to see land.
When we reached land we all
wenl on shore. When the Indians
saw us they .ran into the woods.
They thought we wer° beings
from the sky. They thought the.
ships were great birds and the
sails were wings
Jan 4,14yd we sailed for Spain
and we were set free. They closed
ali the business houses for Col
umbus. The king ami queen got
up to kiss his hands, and we
Were happy because we got set

One day Columbus asked me
to go with him on a long voyage.
He managed u> gei some of the
people in prison for life to go
with him. The prisoners thought
they had better go so they could
get free.
It was not long before the
sailors wanted to go back. The
vessels were not larger than
many of our fishing boats. ! was
a sailor. J got some of the sailors
j and one night we planned to
throw Columbus overboard when
lie was watching the stars But
Columbus heard us, and he would
climb high up in the masts and
sit there and watch the star s. So
we could not throw him over
board. Sometime i would climb
high uj» m the masts, loo I was
afraid that the goblin# would
get us. I tliongiit there was a
big boiling fire and we would
‘ be burned. 1 thought the earth
was flat and that we would fall
off when we came to the edge.
After thr ee long months we rea
ched land. 1 thought that it was
India. The Indians ran into the
woods because they were afraid.
J went out in the woods and told
the Indians to come back. We took
some Indians with us when we
Went home to Spain. Everybody
turned out to pay us great hon

1 am going with Columbus
on a trip in the boat Santa Maria
to find a new route to India. We
were afraid that if we went too
i far out to sea we would go over
tiie edge of the earth or be eaten
up by the goblins of the sea. Tli
en we would not see our homes
again. One night the sailors plan
ned for one of us to throw him
overboard when he was looking
at. the stars. He knew we meant
to harm him, so he Kept out of
our way.
One day we saw some sea
weed. We thought if we ran into
