The old dog
The farmer had a dog. When the dog was old, the farmer thought: “The dog is very old. I don’t want to give him food – he can’t work well.”
So he drove the dog out. Poor dog! He walked and walked and walked. He was very hungry. In the evening he saw a wolf. The wolf said:” What’s the matter with you? You look terrible!”
“I haven’t got a home now. The farmer doesn’t want me. I’m very old now. I can’t work much now and he doesn’t want to feed me. I’m hungry.”
“I know how to help you”, said the wolf.
In the morning the farmer went to work in the field. He took his little son with him. He put his son down and started working. The wolf ran up to the boy, took him and ran away with him.
When the farmer saw it, he ran after the wolf. But he couldn’t get his son back. Then the dog ran after the wolf. The dog took the boy away from the wolf and brought the little boy to his father. The farmer was very happy. He thanked the dog and said: “Excuse me, please! You are a very good friend. Come back and live with us.”
The old dog was very happy!

Many thousands of years before Christopher Columbus’ ships landed in the Bahamas, a different group of people discovered America: the nomadic ancestors of modern Native Americans who hiked over a “land bridge” from Asia to what is now Alaska more than 12,000 years ago. In fact, by the time European adventurers arrived in the 15th century A.D., scholars estimate that more than 50 million people were already living in the Americas. Of these, some 10 million lived in the area that would become the United States. As time passed, these migrants and their descendants pushed south and east, adapting as they went. In order to keep track of these diverse groups, anthropologists and geographers have divided them into “culture areas,” or rough groupings of contiguous peoples who shared similar habitats and characteristics. Most scholars break North America—excluding present-day Mexico—into 10 separate culture areas: the Arctic, the Subarctic, the Northeast, the Southeast, the Plains, the Southwest, the Great Basin, California, the Northwest Coast and the Plateau
