        Do you live in a city? Do you know how cities began? Long ago,the world had only a few thousand people. These people moved from place to place. They moved over the land,hunting animals for food.

        No one knows how or when those people learned a-bout growing food. But when they did,their lives changed. They did not have to look for food any more. They could stay in one place and grow it.

        People began to live near one another. And so the first village grew. Many people came to work in the villages. These villages grew very big.

        When machines appeared,life in the villages changed again. Factories were built. More and more people lived near the factories,and cities began to come into being. Some of them grew very big.
