　　Every winter the Indians caught beavers(河狸或称为海狸). They sold these beaver furs to men from France. In the 1600s and 1700s, people in France wanted beaver furs for coats and hats. Other countries wanted these furs, too. Wearing a beaver fur hat became a sign.It said,“Look at this man! This mad is rich!”

　　In the 1800s, men in this country began to wear beaver hats. They, too, wanted to wear the sign that said,“Look at those men! They are rich!”

　　Soon it was hard to find beavers. To get more beaver furs, traders had to move West. Traders began to explore this new country. They came back with wonderful stories about the new land. Before long,many people wanted to go West to live.

　　Where people go, towns grow. Soon there were new towns in the West. Men looking for beaver for fancy(珍贵的，昂贵的) hats helped the West grow.
