Columbus, on December 5 1492, pulled up shore of Cuba. He met the native there and teaches them some stuff and they teach them
some stuff, like how to make sutiable housing. The natives also taught the crew people about
-Tobacco
-Corn
-Spices
-Coconut trees(palm trees)
-Pepper
-Different Birds
-Different Plants
-Sweet Potatos
-Maniac
-Royal Palms.
Them teaching them stuff makes me feel mad and happy at the same time, happy because they taught them how to do stuff that they
would have never figured out how do on their own, and mad because they just walked in and changed the natives lives.
