Where in the world do you think you're going, Christopher Columbus?
Where in the world do you think you're going, Christopher Columbus?
Interview with Columbus, by Paul A.
Christopher Columbus is asking for ships and money for his voyage to the Indies.
REPORTER: Do you really think that you can get to the Indies by sailing west?
COLUMBUS: No, I KNOW that I can get to the Indies by sailing west.
REPORTER: Well what will you do if you meet creatures in unknown lands?
COLUMBUS: I will try to make friends with them and see if they have gold in their land.
REPORTER: Did King John of Portugal give you the money for the voyage?
COLUMBUS: No he did not give me the money for the voyage because the king and his counselors think I am wrong, but they are wrong because going west over the Ocean Sea is a short cut!!! Sailing around Africa and then heading east is a big waste of time.
REPORTER: What are you going to do now?
COLUMBUS: I am going to go to Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand of Spain.
