In the Ituri rain forest in America live many different tribes, one of 31 is Pygmy. Most of the Pygmies are not taller than four feet. They 32 only about eighty pounds each. In spite of their small size, they are the best 33 among all the jungle people. Even the great elephant can be 34 by them. They can shoot three or four arrows so 35 that often the last one leaves the bow 36 the first has hit its mark. If an arrow should miss its 37 , the impatient Pygmy may become very angry, 38 his arrows and step on them.
Since they do not plant any crops, Pygmies are 39 moving around. They seldom sleep in one camp for more than a few days. In their camps there is no 40 at all except some weapons such as spears, bows, and arrows. There are 41 cooking pots either. Food is eaten 42 or smoked over a fire. So when the tribe moves to a new camp there is 43 to carry except their weapons and babies too small to walk.
Pygmies can move on the trees almost as skillfully as 44 . Often they travel great distances through the branches without 45 the ground.
One of the 46 facts about the small men and women is their appetite(胃口). A Pygmy can 47 sixty bananas at a single meal 48 quantities of meat. After eating, they will 49 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 50 life, Pygmies are almost always good-natured and helpful. They seldom lie, steal or fight among themselves.
