IGreen Children yaseWoolpit inganekwane ehlehlela emuva ngekhulu le-12 futhi ilandisa ngendaba yezingane ezimbili ezavela onqenqemeni lwensimu enkulukazi yaseNgilandi yaseWoolpit.
Izingane Eziluhlaza zeWoolpit
Intombazanyana nomfana bobabili babenesikhumba esiluhlaza futhi bekhuluma ulimi olungajwayelekile. Izingane zagula, nomfana washona, noma kunjalo intombazane yasinda futhi yaqala ukufunda isiNgisi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. Wabe eselandisa indaba yemvelaphi yabo, ethi bavela endaweni ebizwa ngokuthi iSt Martin's Land, eyayikhona endaweni engapheli yokuhwalala nalapho abahlali babehlala ngaphansi komhlaba.
Ngenkathi abanye bekholelwa ukuthi le ndaba inganekwane eveza umhlangano ocatshangelwe nabantu benye iplanethi ngaphansi kwezinyawo zethu, noma ngisho iziqhamuka, abanye bakholelwa ukuthi kuyiqiniso, uma kushintshiwe ngandlela-thile, isenzakalo esingokomlando esidinga ukuqhutshekelwa phambili kokufunda.
Indaba yenzeka emzaneni waseWoolpit eSuffolk, e-East Anglia. Yayitholakala esifundeni esikhiqiza kakhulu kwezolimo futhi esihlala kakhulu emaphandleni aseNgilandi kuyo yonke iNkathi Ephakathi. Le ndawo yakudala ibiphethwe i-Abbey ecebile nenamandla yaseBury St. Edmunds.
Abalobi ababili bekhulu le-12 babhala le ndaba: URalph waseCoggestall (wafa ngo-1228 AD), induna yesigodlo sezindela saseCistercian eCoggeshall (cishe amakhilomitha angama-42 eningizimu yeWoolpit), owabhala ngezingane eziluhlaza zaseWoolpit I-Chronicon Anglicanum (English Chronicle); noWilliam waseNewburgh (1136-1198 AD), isazi-mlando saseNgilandi nohlu lwezincwadi zeBhayibheli e-Augustinian Newburgh Priory, kude kakhulu nenyakatho eYorkshire, ofaka nendaba yezingane eziluhlaza zaseWoolpit emsebenzini wakhe omkhulu I-Historia rerum Anglicarum (Umlando Wezindaba ZesiNgisi).
Ngokuya nganoma yiluphi udaba lwendaba oyifundile, ababhali bathi lezi zigameko zenzeka ngesikhathi sokubusa kweNkosi uStephen (1135-54) noma iNkosi uHenry II (1154-1189). Futhi izindaba zabo ziveze imicimbi ecishe ifane.
Indaba Yezingane Eziluhlaza zeWoolpit
Ngokwendaba yezingane eziluhlaza, umfana nodadewabo batholwa ngabavuni, ngenkathi besebenza emasimini abo ngesikhathi sokuvuna eduze kweminye imisele eyayimbiwe ukubamba izimpisi esontweni iSt Mary's of the Wolf Pits (Woolpit). Isikhumba sabo sasiluhlaza, izingubo zabo zazenziwe ngezinto ezingajwayelekile, futhi babekhuluma ulimi olwalungaziwa abavuni.
Noma bebebukeka belambile, izingane zenqabile ukudla noma yikuphi ukudla ezinikezwa zona. Ekugcineni, abantu bendawo baletha ubhontshisi osanda kukhiwa, izingane zawudla. Bahlala kuphela kubhontshisi izinyanga zaze zaba nokuthanda isinkwa.
Umfana wagula washona ngemuva nje kwalokho, ngenkathi intombazane yahlala iphilile futhi ekugcineni yalahlekelwa isikhumba sayo esinsundu. Wafunda ukukhuluma isiNgisi futhi kamuva washada esifundeni esiseduze saseNorfolk, eKing's Lynn.
Ngokwezinye izinganekwane, waqamba igama elithi 'Agnes Barre,' kanti indoda ayishada yayisithunywa sikaHenry II, kepha la maqiniso awakaqinisekiswa. Uxoxe indaba yemvelaphi yabo lapho esefunde ukukhuluma isiNgisi.
Izwe elingaziwa kakhulu elingaphansi komhlaba
Le ntombazane nomfowabo bathi babeqhamuka “eZweni likaSanta Martin,” lapho kwakungekho ilanga khona kodwa ubumnyama obuhlala njalo futhi wonke umuntu wayeluhlaza njengabo. Ubalule enye indawo 'ekhanyayo' ebonwa ngaphesheya komfula.
Yena nomfowabo bebekade beluse umhlambi kababa wabo ngesikhathi bezithela emgedeni. Bangene Umhubhe futhi bahamba ebumnyameni isikhathi eside ngaphambi kokuvela ngakolunye uhlangothi bangene ekukhanyeni kwelanga okukhanyayo, abakuthola kumangaza. Kungaleso sikhathi lapho batholwa khona ngabavuni.
Izincazelo
Imibono eminingi iphakanyisiwe kuyo yonke le minyaka ukuchaza le akhawunti engajwayelekile. Mayelana nombala wezingane ogqamile ophuzi, enye inkolelo ithi babephethwe yiHypochromic Anemia, eyaziwa nangokuthi yiChlorosis (etholakala egameni lesiGreki elithi 'Chloris', okusho ukuthi kuphuzi ngokuluhlaza).
Ukudla okungekuhle kangako kubanga lesi sifo, esiguqula umbala wamangqamuzana abomvu egazi futhi okuholela ekubeni nombala oluhlaza obonakalayo wesikhumba. Iqiniso lokuthi intombazane ibonwa njengokuphindela ku-hue ejwayelekile ngemuva kokuthola ukudla okunempilo kunika ukuthembeka kulo mbono.
KuFortean Studies 4 (1998), uPaul Harris waphakamisa ukuthi izingane zaziyizintandane zaseFlemish, mhlawumbe ezivela edolobheni elingumakhelwane elibizwa ngeFornham St. Martin, elahlukaniswa neWoolpit yiRiver Lark.
Abokufika abaningi baseFlemish bafika ngekhulu le-12 kodwa bashushiswa phakathi nokubusa kweNkosi uHenry II. Abantu abaningi babulawa ngaseBury St Edmunds ngo-1173. Ukube babalekela eThethford Forest, izingane ezazethukile kungenzeka zazicabanga ukuthi kwakuyizikhathi zantambama zaphakade.
Kungenzeka ukuthi bangene komunye wemigwaqo eminingi yezimayini engaphansi komhlaba esifundeni, ekugcineni ibaholele eWoolpit. Izingane bekungaba yinto emangazayo kubalimi baseWoolpit, begqoke izingubo ezijwayelekile zeFlemish futhi bekhuluma olunye ulimi.
Abanye izingqapheli bathi imvelaphi yezingane 'ingeyomhlaba' ngaphezulu. Abantu abaningi bakholelwa ukuthi izingane eziluhlaza zaseWoolpit “zawa zivela ezulwini” ngemuva kokufunda incwadi kaRobert Burton yango-1621 ethi “The Anatomy of Melancholy,” okwenza abanye bacabange ukuthi izingane iziqhamuka.
Isazi sezinkanyezi uDuncan Lunan uphakamise ku-athikili ka-1996 eyashicilelwa kumagazini i-Analog ukuthi izingane zithunyelwe ngephutha ku-Woolpit zisuka kwiplanethi yazo yasekhaya, engahle ibhajwe ku-orbit ehambisanayo ezungeze ilanga layo, iveze izimo zempilo kuphela endaweni encane yokuhwalala phakathi kwendawo eshisayo kakhulu nohlangothi olumnyama olufriziwe.
Kusukela ngemibiko yokuqala ebhaliwe, indaba yezingane eziluhlaza zaseWoolpit ihlale ngaphezu kwamakhulu ayisishiyagalombili eminyaka. Ngenkathi imininingwane eyiqiniso yale ndaba ingahle ingatholakali, iphefumulele izinkondlo ezingenakubalwa, izincwadi, ama-opera, nemidlalo emhlabeni jikelele, futhi iyaqhubeka nokuheha izingqondo zabaningi abafuna ukwazi.
Ngemuva kokufunda ngezingane eziluhlaza zikaWolpit ufunde icala elihehayo le- abantu abaluhlaza baseKentucky.
