The Columbian Compromise

Wilma:

That Columbus, he did not give, he only took.

In 1493, Columbus took pigs from the Canary Islands to Cuba and Jamaica.

Pigs did not like Columbus, but it was a quick trip.

And pigs liked Cuba and Jamaica very much – good food, good sun, good naps.

Pigs figured they could tolerate one mean guy for one short trip.

Pigs had lots of piglets all across the Caribbean,

So pigs might say the Columbian Compromise paid off.

Mona:

Wait for next boat, pigs.

Work with nice folks, not mean guy.

Pigs getting greedy.
