A level 1 Oxford Bookworms Library graded reader. Written for Learners of English by Tim Vicary.
A beautiful young Indian girl, and a brave Englishman. Black eyes, and blue eyes. A friendly smile, a laugh, a look of love… But this is North America in 1607, and love is not easy. The girl is the daughter of King Powhatan, and the Englishman is a white man. And the Indians of Virginia do not want the white men in their beautiful country.
This is the famous story of Pocahontas, and her love for the Englishman John Smith.
RETOLD BY TIM VICARY
Pocahontas
POCAHONTAS
In 1607 the English come to Virginia, in North America. They want to begin a new life, and to make their home in the New World. They build a town and call it Jamestown, after King James of England.
Virginia is a new world for the English, but it is not new for the Indian people of North America. They live there; their fathers and their grandfathers lived there before them. It is their country, their home. And they do not like these white men from across the sea.
One of the Englishmen, John Smith, goes up the river in a boat, but the Indians find him and take him to the great King, Powhatan. The Indians want to kill him, but Powhatan has a daughter – the beautiful Pocahontas. She looks into John Smith’s blue, blue eyes … and so begins a famous story of two countries, two people, and a love without end.
