[01:06.85]It was 10,000 bc.
[01:10.69]There were no towns or even villages in the world.
[01:15.65]There were no farms or gardens, either.
[01:19.73]like everybody else,Klom and her family travelled from place to place.
[01:26.49]Sometimes they travelled alone and sometimes with other families.
[01:32.13]When they found a place with a lot of food,they stayed there.
[01:37.80]Then,when there was no food left,they moved somewhere else.
[01:43.44]life was always difficult for Klom and her family,
[01:47.99]but summer was the least difficult time.
[01:52.64]It was warm in summer and there were seeds and fruit to eat.
[01:58.00]Klom's family couldn't live without water
[02:02.44]and so they often travelled beside river
[02:07.01]Animals also came to the rivers to drink.
[02:11.55]If the men caught and killed an animal,everyone was glad.
[02:16.91]It meant that they had meat to eat and skins to make into clothes.
[02:22.86]One evening,Klom was coming home from far away with a basket of seeds.
[02:29.34]She could hear a lot of noise.
[02:32.79]The men were fighting a big elephant.
[02:37.23]Klom's father was one of the strongest and bravest of the men.
[02:42.27]He fought and fought until,at last,the elephant fell to the ground.
[02:49.04]Klom's father fell to the ground,too.
[02:53.40]Klom dropped her basket and ran to him.
[02:57.84]She could see that he was very badly hurt.
[03:02.28]The other men gently carried him back to Klom's family.
[03:07.74]That night, the medicine woman came.
[03:12.10]She gave him some medicine to stop the pain.
[03:16.34]Then,she turned to the family and said,' He is lucky.
[03:22.19]He is not going to die
[03:25.84]but I'm afraid tha the may not be able to walk again for a long time.'

[04:21.33]Usten to The First Farmers (Part 2) and answer the questions.
[04:30.16]After the long winter,there was nothing left to eat except for a few seeds.
[04:37.73]So,the families decided that it was time to move.
[04:43.01]Klom's father lay quietly beside the fire.He was worried.
[04:49.67]It was now five months since his accident,and he was still not able to walk.
[04:57.40]He could not leave with the others,but he knew that his family needed more food.
[05:04.95]'You'd better go with the others,'he said to his family,and leave me here.
[05:11.72]'One by one, the other families left,but his own family stayed.
[05:18.69]One day,about noon,Klom was watching a line of ants.
[05:25.46]she saw that a number of them were carrying seeds.
[05:30.74]'Lucky ants!'she said.
[05:34.99]'I'm so hungry,but you always find food, don't you?'
[05:41.94]She followed the ants to the river and found the seeds.
[05:48.19]They were lying all over the ground.
[05:52.31]Then,she remembered that they were her seeds!From her basket!
[05:59.18]She ran back to her mother'Mother, I've found some seeds!'she said excitedly.'
[06:08.14]I dropped them last summer,but now they've changed!
[06:14.31]Some of them are turning into little plants!
[06:18.96]Come and see!''You're right!' said her mother.
[06:24.52]'How wonderful!''Mother,if we plant these seeds and they grow into big plants,
[06:33.77]we won't need to move from place to place.
[06:38.45]We'll have food next to our own home!
[06:43.59]'So,Klom dug the ground planted the seeds,and maybe,just maybe,
[06:51.53]became the very first farmer on Earth.

[10:52.04]He had a lot of money,but he didn't know much about farming.
[10:57.37]He cut i all the trees to make more fields and grow more vegetables.
