A very long time ago the British
government ordered that English should
be taught in Welsh schools. As result,
in 1865 a colony of prosecuted Welsh
miners fed from the British tyranny
and settled in the deserts of Patagonia.
These men were heroes, and with most
magnificent courage they dared to live
in a desert where not a plant would
grow. where the water was brackish
and the heat intolerable They were
surrounded by wild tribes of hostile
savaaAs and made them warm friends
they We're ruled by foreign govern
ment and became loyal citizens.
Through long years of want and
famine they never despaired. They
have turned the desert into beautiful
fertile country. have become rich, sium
