In the Ituri rain forest in America live many different tribes, one of
1 is Pygmy. Most of the Pygmies
are not taller than four feet. They
2 only about eighty pounds each. In spite of their small size, they are
the best
3 among all the jungle people. Even the great elephant can be
4 by them. They can shoot three
or four arrows so
5 that often the last one leaves the bow
6 the first has hit its mark. If an arrow should
miss its
7 , the impatient Pygmy may become very angry,
8 his arrows and step on them.
Since they do not plant any crops, Pygmies are
9 moving around. They seldom sleep in one camp for
more than a few days. In their camps there is no
10 at all except some weapons such as spears, bows, and
arrows. There are
11 cooking pots either. Food is eaten
12 or smoked over a fire. So when the tribe
moves to a new camp there is
13 to carry except their weapons and babies too small to walk.
Pygmies can move on the trees almost as skillfully as
14 . Often they travel great distances through the
branches without
15 the ground. One of the
16 facts about the small men and women is their appetite(胃
口). A Pygmy can
17 sixty bananas at a single meal
18 quantities of meat. After eating, they will
19 on
their hard earth bed and groan all night. But in the morning, they are ready to eat the same amount of food all
over again.
In spite of the
20 life, Pygmies are almost always good-natured and helpful. They seldom lie, steal or
fight among themselves.
