Pocahontas

Pocahontas was the beautiful daughter of Powhatan, a very important American Indian chief in Virginia, USA. Her real name was Matoaka and she was very brave and clever. She tried hard to promote peace between her people and the English colonists who arrived in her country and settled there. Pocahontas managed to learn to speak English. She believed that the English could teach her people a lot of new things.

One winter, the English didn't have any food so she asked her father to give them food. But soon, the Powhatans and the English started fighting again. During a fight, the American Indians arrested an English captam, John Smith. Pocahontas saved his life. In 1613, the colonists arrested her. Pocahontas stayed in prison for a year. She had such good manners that the English liked her and so they didn't hurt her. In April 1614, she married colonist John Rolfe. This helped end the war between the Powhatans and the English colonists. Unfortunately, while she was in England with her husband and son, Thomas, visiting King James I, she got ill and died. She was only 22.

Ответ:

Pocahontas was the daughter of an American Indian chief named Powhatan, and her real name was Matoaka. People call her a 'child of peace' because she tried hard to create peace between her people and the English colonists. She helped the English by asking her father to give them food when they were hungry. She also saved the life of an English captain, John Smith.

Покахонтас была дочерью вождя американских индейцев по имени Поухатан, а ее настоящее имя — Матоака. Люди называют ее «дитя мира», потому что она очень старалась установить мир между своим народом и английскими колонистами. Она помогла англичанам, попросив своего отца дать им еду, когда они голодали. Она также спасла жизнь английскому капитану Джону Смиту. Ее брак с английским колонистом Джоном Рольфом помог положить конец войне между двумя группами.
