Little Becky Mahler was so excited about the very first
thanksgiving dinner in the Americas. The Croatan Indians were the friendliest
people the colonists ever met. When the Croatan shaman cast a spell turning all
the men into women and boys into girls there were concerns. But it was easier
to integrate the colonists with the tribe if they were all female.
Becky came to the Roanoke colony as Scant Mahler. He
adjusted to his new body faster than the older boys and men who still wanted to
hunt and lift heavy stuff. Scant enjoyed watching the women and girls work. He
secretly wanted to join them. Now he does.
When John White arrived looking for the colonists he
considered the transformation an abomination to God. White soon understood it
was the will of God that the colonists were all female. It made working with
the Indians easier. Men are too competitive, leading to confrontation and other
problems. And Becky? She loves playing with the girls when chores are done.
