The original meaning of the name Madrid is "Mom, run fast"
Legend has it that a long time ago, one day a little boy went out to play with his mother.
He was very naughty, jumping and walking, and he was far away from his mother.
Just when he wanted to go back to find his mother, he suddenly met a brown bear.
The little boy ran away, and the brown bear chased him closely. In a hurry, the little boy climbed up a big tree.
He just took a few breaths on the tree, and suddenly heard his mother's call. It turned out that his mother was looking for him.
But the brown bear under the tree was looking for him.
When his mother saw this scene, she would definitely come to save him, and the brown bear would hurt her...
Thinking of this, he shouted to his mother from the tree: "Mom, run - Mom, run -"
Some people said that his shouting attracted hunters, while others said that his shouting scared away the brown bear.
No matter how many versions there are, this brave boy left a beautiful legend for the city.
