There, in our yard, we saw two adult (鵝) and asmall baby goose. The adults were startled by our return and flew away, but theirbaby was still too young to fly and couldnt follow. We were no strangers to the waysof wild animals, so we knew we should avoid touching the baby goose or it wouldstay with us and be lost to its family forever. Hours passed, and night fell. It becamevery cold. At that point, we knew we had to help and we brought him into our house.
We all pretty much slept with one eye open till morning came. And then anothermorning. And still another. Each morning, we would try to drive the goose over to hisparents, who kept coming back to our yard. He wouldnt go to them though, andthey wouldnt come close enough to take him back.

After two weeks of the goose coming back again and again,it became clear to me that this wasnt another goose. My old best friend returned, 20years later.

The Silk Road is known all over the world. The Silk Road went from China toEastern Europe. It went along the north of China, India, and Persia and ended up inEastern Europe near todays Turkey and the Mediterranean Sea.
It was called the Silk Road because one of the major products traded was silkcloth from China. Chinese silk was soft and of high quality. So people throughoutAsia and Europe loved it very much. The Chinese sold silk for thousands of years.Even the Romans called China the“l(fā)and of silk”.
Besides silk, the Chinese also sold tea, salt, sugar, (陶瓷) and spices.Most of the goods were expensive. This was because it was a long trip and tradersdidnt have a lot of room for goods. They bought goods like cotton, ivory, wool, goldand silver.
Traders traveled in large (商隊(duì)). They would have many guards withthem. Traveling in a big group like a caravan helped protect themselves. Most of theroad was through dry land, so camels were popular animals for transport.
Although there was some trade between China and the rest of the world for sometime, the silk trade developed quickly during the Han Dynasty which ruled from 202B.C. to 220 A.D. Later, under the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, trade in China along theSilk Road was fully developed.
The Silk Road was important. It not only helped develop trade betweendifferent countries, but also helped make ideas, cultures and inventions spreadacross the world.
