[01:22.08]MY TRIP TO CARTAGENA
[01:27.44]BY KANA RILEY
[01:30.29]We traveled by airplane to Cartagena.It is a city in Colombia.
[01:42.92]A guide told us about the city long ago.
[01:48.76]"Who knows who lived here then?"she asked.
[01:53.40]"Was it the Spanish1?"I asked.
[01:57.25]"Yes,"she said,"but the tribe2 of Caribes lived here first.
[02:03.41]The Spanish came in the 1500s and built many of the buildings you see today."
[02:10.93]"Then one day in 1586,
[02:17.81]the explorer3 Sir Francis Drake and his men
[02:22.85]came to Cartagena from England,"she said.
[02:27.89]"They heard that the Spanish had lots of gold.Drake wanted the gold."
[02:35.12]"Did he get it?"I asked."Drake went in at night,"she said.
[02:42.58]"Did they have lights?"I asked.
[02:46.54]"No,"she said."It was different in 1586.
[02:54.38]Electric lights weren't invented then.The city didn't have street lamps.
[03:01.91]It was very dark.So one of Drake's men lit a small fire to help him see.
[03:09.97]The Spanish saw the light.""What happened then?"I asked.
[03:16.81]"Some of the men hid the gold.Some started to fight Drake and his men."
[03:24.26]"Did Drake get any gold?"I asked.
[03:30.49]"Yes,he got some of it.His men took it away by boat.
[03:36.94]"But Drake was not the last person to try to take gold from the city.
[03:42.77]The Spanish people needed to protect their gold.
[03:47.59]So they built this and lots of other strong buidings to protect the city.
[03:54.25]We are lucky they did,
[03:57.78]because these old buildings are still standing4 for us to see today!"
[04:04.30]PROJECT
[04:09.73]Listen and read the poem.
[04:17.18]Tony's Time Machine
[04:20.82]Tony turned the key to his brand-new time machinge.
[04:27.05]It was time to go,time to see things he'd never seen.
[04:33.92]He traveled back a million years,and he heard an awful roar5.
[04:41.16]He turned around and there he saw a real live dinosaur6!
[04:48.83]He quickly set his time machine to another place and year.
[04:55.34]Now he was in the Wild West with cowboys7 and lndians near!
