Answer 1

Hello. You haven't shown which map to fill out, so I just summarized the storyline to which the question refers. I hope it helps.

The tale begins by stating that many people believe that in Africa, in the past, there were people who knew how to do magic and could fly and it was when they were flying that they were captured to be slaves. Then, people started to hide their wings, so as not to be captured, and many became very sick. These people still had magic, but it was safer to stop flying and camouflage yourself in the crowd. However, even then they were captured as slaves, among Africans who could not fly.

The life of a slave was difficult and one day, all who could fly rebelled, attacked their "masters" and fled flying, those who did not fly asked for help to escape, but those who flew could not teach them and told them to find another way to escape.

The "masters" did not want this story to be heard, but the slaves who were imprisoned told their children and this story was passed down from generation to generation.
