A DETERMINED MAN
Christopher Columbus, a famous explorer, was born in Genoa, Italy, about five
hundred years ago. Columbus was a sailor. In his day many people thought that the
earth was flat. Columbus, however, was convinced that the earth was round .He
thought that India, which is in the east, could be reached by sailing west. Columbus
thought the earth much smaller than it really is. He thought that the long voyage to
India would be shorter if he would sail west instead of sailing east.
Columbus first asked the king of Portugal for help. His request was refused.
Next Columbus outlined his plans to the king of England. Again he was refused.
Finally this determined man went to Spain. For seven years he worked to enlist the
help of the Spanish monarchs, King Ferdinand and Queen Isablella. At last they
consented to help him. They gave him men and ships. The efforts of this determined
man was finally successful. He set sail under the Spanish flag, beginning the voyages
that years after his death the would prove that the earth was round.
