A NEW WORLD IS FOUND
It wasn't easy. First Columbus had
to persuade Queen Isabella and King
Ferdinand of Spain to give him
money for ships. Then he had to find
men to sail them. At last three little
ships, the Pima, the Nina, and the
Samu Maria, set sail for India
After a frightening voyage land
was sighted in October. 1492. How
thrilled Columbus and his men were,
as they claimed a little island in the
West Indies for Spain! Back they
sailed, accompanied by six Indians,
and with tropical birds and gold.
Columbus thought that he had
reached India, but actually he had
found a whole New World
