It Was a New World

Let's Read
Nari borrowed a book about American history from Tim. She read the following story.

Christopher Columbus lived in Italy. He sailed to many places. He wanted to sail to Asia. In those days, people called Asia "the Indies." They traveled east to get there. They went across land and water. The trip was long and very dangerous. Columbus had a different idea. He wanted to sail west! Many people said, "That's crazy. The earth is flat. You'll sail off the edge of the world. You'll never come back." Columbus didn't listen. He was sure that the world was round.
The King and Queen of Spain gave Columbus money and three ships. In 1492, Columbus sailed west. After a month at sea, the sailors wanted to turn back. Columbus didn't listen to them. "Sail on," he said. After two months, Columbus saw land.
Columbus thought he was on an island in the Indies. He called the people there "Indians." He thought, "I discovered a new route to Asia." But he discovered something much more important. It was a new world to the Europeans.
