They called these cities the Seven Cities of Gold. Were the cities real? Coronado never considered asking his friends.Coronado thought to himself, “The things in these cities must be worth a lot of money”. So, he went to find the Seven Cities of Gold. He took along three hundred men, many horses, and extra food. They headed west. Coronado wanted to achieve his goal very badly.Coronado and his men rode for many days. Then they saw some cities. “We found the Seven Cities of Gold!” his men said, but Coronado wasn’t happy. He had a different opinion. “These can’t be the Seven Cities of Gold”, he said. “Look, they’re made of dirt!”Coronado was right. The cities weren’t bright and golden. They were dirty and brown. The people didn’t eat meat from golden plates. They ate vegetables from regular bowls. They wore the most basic clothes. Coronado regarded the cities as ugly places. “What happened to the cities of gold?” he thought. “Did someone destroy them? Was there a war? Did someone already come and take the gold?”That night, the people of the cities entertained Coronado and his men and served them food. They advised Coronado to go home. “There is no gold here”, they told him. Coronado was angry. Did his friends lie to him?He left the next morning. He looked back at the cities one more time. The sun reflected light on the dirt houses. Coronado thought he saw a bit of gold. Were his friends right after all? “No”, he told himself. “it’s just the sun”. Then he turned away and went home.:)
