The Girl and the Puma
Five hundred years ago when the Spanish entered South America, Native American tribes often fought back against the invaders. One way tribes could put pressure on the Spanish was to surround their settlements. This is what happened in the early 1500's when Maldonado, a Spanish girl, was 15 years old.
Hostile Native Americans of the Querandi tribe had encircled the Spanish settlement where Maldonado lived. Before long, their food supplies were depleted. The people faced starvation. They begged their captain to allow them to take their chances and leave the settlement in search of food, but the captain would not allow
Famished. Maldonado escaped the settlement and fled into the jungle. As night fell, she heard with alarm the calls of wild animals. She thought of where she could safely sleep for the night. But there was one call that drew her closer. It was a cry of pain. She followed the sound to a cave where she found a puma that had just given birth. Maldonado helped the mother puma clean the cubs. Later, she watched the babies while the mother went out to hunt. And so days went by. One day, while Maldonado was gathering food and the mother puma was inside the cave with
her cubs, the girl was surprised by Querandi warriors.
