Many different tribes live in the Ituri rain forest of Africa, but the Pygmies are the most unusual. Most of the men are not much more than four feet tall. They weigh only about eighty pounds. The women are even smaller and thinner. But in spite of the fact that they are small, these people are perfectly formed men and women.

      It is an exciting experience to visit a Pygmy encampment for the first time. Before you go, you must send word ahead that you are coming. Some friendly native or trader must take the message to the Tiki-Tikis. Otherwise the whole tribe will disappear into the depths of the jungle long before you have come close enough to be welcomed.

      The great Ituri rain forest seems cut off from the rest of the earth. There are living, dead, and dying trees on every side. Except where a clearing has been burned and chopped out, a man may live his whole life in the Ituri and never see farther than twenty yards.

      It takes sharp eyes to discover the almost hidden path to the Pygmy camp. The path is no wider than a small man’s foot. No sound breaks the silence in this part of the forest. There are no signs of people.

      The stranger must walk carefully. What appears to be a bent branch may prove to be a deadly snake. A spotted gold patch of sunlight may be a crouching leopard(豹).

Even the Pygmy camp comes as a surprise. The leafy shelters in which the little people live are hardly three feet high. They look so much like the surrounding undergrowth that they might easily be passed by. These houses contain no furniture of any sort. The beds are merely plantain leaves spread out on the earth floor. There are no cooking pots: food is eaten raw or smoked over a fire. Spears, bows and arrows are the only possessions of these people. When the tribe moves to a new camp there is nothing to carry except these weapons and babies too small to walk.

With the average home in the capital selling for 19,548 yuan a meter in November, a tiny mobile home built by a 24-year-old office worker is creating a stir(震动) online.

  Dai Haifei built the 6-square-meter pad(住所) because he could not afford to buy or rent in the capital.

  Dai’s new home costs him 6,400 yuan and he has been living in it for nearly two months in courtyard at Chengfu

Road, Haidian district.

  Dai, who is one of the millions of migrants who moved to the capital from other parts of China seeking a better

life and better job, said he realized his financial burden had become too great.

  The Hunan native said he simply could not make ends meet(收支相抵) when he became an intern at a

Beijing-based construction design company in 2009.

  “I rented a home at the very beginning--a small room in an apartment that cost me about 900 yuan per month,”

said Dai in an interview with local media. “It was too expensive for me. ”

  Dai’s father works on a construction site in his hometown and his mother is a cleaner.

  Dai, who ended up becoming a formal employee of the company, figured out his own way to solve the

problem---with inspiration from a housing design project at his company’s exhibition early this year.

  The project, named“An egg given birth to by the city”, included a series of egg-like movable houses, with a

karaoke house, chair house and trader’s house in it.

  Dai, who borrowed 6,400 yuan from an older cousin and who got additional help from several friends, decided to

make one of his own. He spent nearly two months building his“egg house”in his hometown, a village in southeast

Hunan that is around 1,700 kilometers from Beijing.
