How Corn Came to the Indians

How Corn Came to the Indians (based on a traditional Native story) Everyone in the village was hungry. There was no food to eat. Two little village boys set out to search for food. They walked for many hours until they saw a small bird. They were very hungry. " Let's eat this bird and then look for more, " one boy said. Suddenly, an old woman came out of the forest. " I am very hungry. Will you share some of your bird with me?" she asked. The boys were starving, but they respected old people. The old woman made a fire. She ate the whole bird. “ You are good boys, " said the woman. " Do not worry. Come tomorrow to this same spot. I will reward you. ’

玉米是如何来到印第安人的(根据一个传统的土著故事改编) 村子里的每个人都很饿。没有食物吃。两个村里的小男孩出发去寻找食物。他们走了好几个小时，直到看到一只小鸟。 他们非常饿。“让我们吃了这只鸟，然后。再找更多的，”一个男孩说。 突然，一个老妇人从森林里走了出来。“我很饿。你愿意和我分享一些你的鸟吗?”她问。孩子们饥肠辘辘，但他们尊重老人。 老妇人生起了火。她把整只鸟都吃了。“你们是好孩子，”女人说。“不要担心明天再来这个地方。我会报答你的。

The boys returned the next day. The fire was gone. In its place were four small, green plants. There was some-thing yellow on the plants. It tasted very good. The boys brought the plants to their village. Soon, the plants grew tall. And from that time on, the people in the village always had corn to eat.

孩子们第二天回来了。火灭了。取而代之的是四棵小小的绿色植物。 植物上有黄色的东西。味道很好。男孩们把这些植物带到他们的村庄。 很快，植物长得很高了。从那时起，村里的人总是有玉米吃。
