She has seen so many amazing things that
she has quite a story to tell!
It is 4000 BCE. Pebbles is a young hill.
She has only seen humans travelling on
foot till now.
Oh! The things I have seen! You will not
believe how many years I have been here.
Recall what you have learnt earlier. List some of the reasons why
early humans would have moved from one place to another.
Travellers! I love watching them. But these]
humans look so tired! I think they have walked
a very long way.

But things were changing. Humans began
to domesticate horses. Long distances
became easier to cover.
In desert regions, humans domesticated
camels as they were the only animals that
could survive the harsh climate.
That human is trying to ride an animal! That
will make it easier for his poor, tired feet. He|
can travel far and wide on a horse.
