Indians tassel princess satin 



The Indians thought 

 that the corn plant 

 was once a prince. 

 They believed that 

 he came to earth 

 to help them. 

 The tassel was 

 the feather of 

 his cap. 



The silk 

 was his gold- 

 en hair. 

 The leaves 

 made his 

 green dress. 

 Corn is 

 even beautiful 

 enough to be a 

 princess. 



Have you seen the 

 long slender leaves shining like satin in the sun ? 

 Perhaps the tassel was the feather in a 

 prince's cap. 



But what is it now ?
