Narrator

Christopher Columbus and his brother, Bartholomew wanted to travel to China, as they knew they could find great riches there. The road to China from Portugal was very long and dangerous. Columbus thought he could take a short cut, and sail to China across the Atlantic Ocean. Come with us, as we travel back in time to join Christopher Columbus on his adventure.

Castle Scene – Christopher Columbus, King Ferdinand of Spain, Queen Isabella.

Columbus

Thank you for agreeing to meet me sire, I think there is a shorted way to travel to China, and plan to prove it by sailing across the Atlantic Ocean. I need money, lots of it! And some ships, and a crew. What say you?

King Ferdinand

I don’t know about this Mr Columbus, it’s a lot of money and a big risk, let me talk to my wife.

Queen Isabella

If he is correct we would be so rich…

King Ferdinand

OK Mr Columbus, we will finance your trip…don’t let us down.
