La Malinche
La Malinche is a very important person from a long time ago in Mexico. Her real name was Malintzin, but people call her La Malinche because it is shorter. La Malinche was a young girl who was taken from her family and given to the Spanish people who came from far away.
She didn't know Spanish and the Spanish people didn't know her language, but they still needed to communicate. So, La Malinche learned Spanish very quickly because she was very smart. She helped the Spanish talk to the people in Mexico and learn about their land and culture.
Some people think that La Malinche was a traitor because she helped the Spanish people take over Mexico, but others think that she was just doing what she had to do to survive. People have different opinions about her, but everyone agrees that she was very important in history.
