Read the excerpt from chapter 8 of The Travels of Marco Polo. Let us go on now to tell of a large city which forms part of the province of Aden but has a petty ruler of its own. This city, which lies about 400 miles north-west of the port of Aden, is called Shihr. It is ruled by a count, who maintains strict justice in his domain. He has several cities and towns under his sway but is himself subject to the sultan of Aden. The people are Saracens and worship Mahomet. The city has a very good port; for I assure you that many merchant-ships come here well loaded with goods from India, and from here they export many goods to India.

In 1862, I was ten years old. My family moved to the prairie that year. I was unhappy
about leaving Virginia, the only place I had ever lived. I knew I would miss it terribly. Ma and
Pa decided to pull up their roots in Virginia and settle out West. My brother, Jacob, was 13
years old when we moved, and my little sister, Mary, was only three.
When the caravan arrived in Kansas, all the families went off to settle on their very own
plots. "Pa, what happened to all of the trees?" / asked as I looked at the flat, dusty land,
Pa smiled. "Emma, we are out on the plains now. There are very few trees, and the land
is mostly flat"
"How will we build our house if there are no trees to cut?"
"We will use what nature has given us." Pa answered.
What could Pa be thinking? There was nothing on the plain but dust and grass.
