In the Ituri rain forest in America live many different tribes, one of1is Pygmy. Most of the Pygmies
are not taller than four feet. They2only about eighty pounds each. In spite of their small size, they are
the best3among all the jungle people. Even the great elephant can be 4by them. They can shoot three
or four arrows so5that often the last one leaves the bow6the first has hit its mark. If an arrow should
miss its7, the impatient Pygmy may become very angry,8his arrows and step on them.
Since they do not plant any crops, Pygmies are9moving around. They seldom sleep in one camp for
more than a few days. In their camps there is no10at all except some weapons such as spears, bows, and
arrows. There are11cooking pots either. Food is eaten12or smoked over a fire. So when the tribe
moves to a new camp there is13to carry except their weapons and babies too small to walk.
Pygmies can move on the trees almost as skillfully as14. Often they travel great distances through the
branches without15the ground. One of the16facts about the small men and women is their appetite(胃
口). A Pygmy can17 sixty bananas at a single meal18quantities of meat. After eating, they will19on
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 the20life, Pygmies are almost always good-natured and helpful. They seldom lie, steal or
fight among themselves.
