and place did not know   6    to write. For example, we know a good deal about the people who lived in China
4,000 years ago,because they could write and leave written records for those who lived    7    them. But we
know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not
learned to write.

heard about it from older people,and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most
important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told for many    9   . For most people are proud
