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.
