Spanish legends
el Puma contra los conquistadores
by kaela schommer
summary:
A small jungle tribe sees a puma hit by an arrow. The tribe
realizes the arrow came from a group of Spanish conquerors
coming to take over their tribe. They nurse the puma
back to health. In turn, she rallies her puma friends to help
defeat the conquerors. This legend comes from connections
to our readings and Kaela’s research.
Había una vez un pequeño pueblo que estaba rodeado
por una selva enorme. Vivía una tribu en medio de la
selva debajo de un árbol tan enorme como una montaña
encumbrada. Un día la gente en la tribu oyó un chillido
fuerte desde la parte superior de los árboles. Era un chillido
tan fuerte que podría hacer un bebé llorando.
Después de mucho confuso la tribu vi que el chillido era
de un puma. El puma se inicia cada seguido más grande
que dio cuenta de que el puma estaba cayendo hacía ellos
desde los árboles después de ser golpeada por algo.
La gente corrió a ver lo que golpeó el puma y si el puma
estaba bien. Vieron una flecha se clavó en el costado
‘nerdy’ not the case:
15 Ophir and LPHS students are traveling
to Missoula on March 31 for the
statewide science fair. The students
have already competed in the Ophir
School science fair and the Regional
Science and Engineering Fair in Butte
this month.
This is the third year the Ophir School
District has participated in the science
fair thanks to their Middle School
Science teacher Sue Barton, who
helped introduce the program to the
school. Also, this is the first year a
LPHS student has made it to the state
competition.
del puma. Nana, una mujer mayor de la tribu se
puso a cantar. El puma cayó en un sueño apacible
y Nana cogió suavemente la flecha del lado del
puma.
La tribu aprendió que los conquistadores Españoles
dispararon el puma. Los hombres de
la tribu comenzaron a combatir a los españoles
mientras que Nana ayuda el puma recuperar su
fuerza.
El puma y sus amigos ayudaron a la lucha contra
los hombres. La batalla duró tres días, hasta el
puma y sus amigos fuertes capturaron el jefe de
los españoles. Después de tres días el pueblo
ganó la batalla.
La gente ya no tienen miedo a los pumas ni los
Españoles. Vivía en paz en sus bosques durante
los próximos años con la ayuda de los pumas.
The fair “teaches [the students] that
science can be fun,” said Barton. “They
can turn something their interested in
into something that can be tested.”
There were 450 different projects at
the regional fair, and the Ophir kids
performed well. Six out of seven of
all of Barton’s students are headed
to states, and there are a total of 14
middle schoolers going.
At most schools, Barton said: “ Science
is nerdy, but ‘nerdy’ is not the case
here. Every middle schooler at Ophir
did a project.” a.d.

spanish-speaking world, and realizing related themes. “students
then chose an area or peoples they were interested in,
did some research, and wrote their own legends,” says spanish
teacher cassie kapes. the story below is by sophomore
