Mother Bee spoke to me yesterday much of the brave Cuban soldiers who in century nineteen fought by the freedom of Cuba. I want to detail you  so all history and as her grandpa told  her. He said that the mambi word is associated to Eutimio Mambí, Dominican patriotic, first that used the machete in the fight against the Spaniards in Santo Domingo. This happened 50 years before the beginning of the War of the Ten Years in Cuba. The Spanish soldiers, when seeing as the Cubans used the machete as Eutimio began to call them "men of Mambí", which soon used excessive respect to mambises.

The hat was also very important for mambises. Mother Bee said to me to that protected them of rain, and the sun. Almost always was of straw and not to lose them in the war, some subjected them to the shoulder reinforcements with cords to the neck. They also took the bugle that allowed them to transmit orders and warnings When they did not have it were worth of whistles, horns of head of cattle and snails.

Of prudent a with the touch that it gave the bugle meant different things: For example, the morning call meant of awake, that the troops put list for the combat. Another sound gave the warning to fire. Bee said grandpa of Mother that the order more feared for the enemy era: "Bugle, plays to fight". Then the very ugly things to the enemy were put to him.

The powerful weapon but of mambises was the machete. There were of all varieties forms and sizes the enemy had sabers, bayonets and modern firearms, but they shook when hearing the mambi voice of: To macheteeee! because...

Ready always they were mambises
the enemy to attack
many were the battles
that managed to conquer  
and thus fighting
they freed to Cuba of the Spaniard

Soon I return with another story of my pretty country, that is Cuba
