EUROPEANS: they probably were wondering why the taino wern't wearing much clothes and why they didn't live in brick houses; and why they had no iron weapons; as well as what were the taino saying; [ the taino were speaking taino]

TAINO: who were these strange visitors with a strange body covering [metal] what country or world they came from; what were their sticks that shoot thunder[guns] ; what were they saying[ the europeans were speaking i guess spanish ]what were those massive whale sized canoes they were riding on[ships-nina,pinta,santa maria]
Hope this helps!!
