Question

Daniel Boone was born in the United States in 1734. He came from a poor family that lived in a small village near a forest. His father didn't have enough money to send Daniel to school so he never learned to read. However, Daniel learned a lot of things from the stories he heard about the forest and the things around him. He was attracted to the simple and quiet life of the forest and preferred to live there instead of living on his father's farm.

　　When Daniel grew up he tried to live on the farm but he wasn't happy there. After a year or so he decided to travel to the unexplored lands to the west. He learned and experienced many things during his travels. After two years he returned to his home and shared his knowledge and stories with the people, which made him famous for his travels.

　　Once while traveling Daniel was captured (taken away) by the Native Americans (Indians). They liked him very much and soon became his friends. Daniel Boone continued to travel throughout his life. He died at the age of 86. He had led a very interesting life and became well known in American history as one of the country's most famous explorers and pioneers.
