My name is Simbamasu I live in a stick house made of wood and i’m in charge of fishing for the whole community. We don’t have lots of things but we have jewelry find in rocks and lots of food like cherries. “ Land ahoy we found land” I heard something throw the ocean then I saw something big I thought it was a bird and it had holes that fire rocks I was scared because I was just a little kid. I told my father that there are weird creatures coming he started to tell the the chief of the tribe. The chief said that we have visitors I started to bake and made bread and fish and tortillas so the visitors se us like friends. Then suddenly little bouts came up of the big one and there were man with hair in there face, when they reach the coast they put a flag with a cross in it I was very scared I was afraid to lose all my family and my friends and my things. Then the man said” thank you god thank for these holy land” I didn't understand the language but I know that the flag was there was there religion. I was the brave one that came to talk first I his face hair and he laughed then more of his kind came to the shore I was getting scared. Then we started giving them food and jewelry and the I think the captain said “ we come is peace we don’t come to invade we are explorers looking for land and food”. When I took a very close look I noticed that there were humans to and what I finded very strange that that they hadn't try tobacco and neither corn. They teach my how to talk their language is was good because now I know what there what they are saying. The man in the left of Hundon tell him that lets take one of them to meet England and meet the Queen Elisabeth. I was very scared when I hear him saying that I thought that there were going to kidnap me of my family and take us to another place. I told the Chief that this are no trustable man they were going to kidnap us and take us to England, the Chief said to ready our strongest man and protect the village and the lot and the food. I was on top of my house seeing with a long sphere with a glass that lets you see further Henry gave it to me. My dad Iguazu was guarding the perimeter and my mom Zokla was making a canoe so we can escape fast. But nothing happend I think I mistake what I hear when I went to the shore I saw one of my kind dancing with them in the bout happy I thought that there were going to take us and throw us to the water but they were very nice. I went with them I meet a lot of things that we don’t have in our village. When I got back I told my parents about the adventure I halved and they were happy for me.
