In the past, traveling was nothing less than a daring adventure. There were no roads. There was none of the mechanical transport we have now. People traveled on foot. They had faced all sorts of dangers from the weather, wild beasts and robbers. Most people therefore did not like to go away from their villages. Only those who were adventurous set out on a long journey. They traveled in groups. When man succeeded in training the four-foot animals like the horse and the camel, traveling became slightly comfortable. Still it was a dangerous undertaking. Only a new venture out of their homes. In those days, it was also very difficult to transport goods from one place to another. In the earliest days, man was his own beast of burden. He carried his load on his head or back. Later horses and other such animals were used for this purpose. But the man and the animals could not carry very heavy loads from one place to another. Now people living in any part of a country can travel to any other part in comfort. Every country has a network to railways. A small sum of money is required to go from one corner of the country to another. If your business is more urgent, you can travel by an aero plane. A plane will need only a couple of days to fly round the whole world. The travel by sea also has become more comfortable, swift and secure than before. Giant steamers have replaced the ancient boat and sailing ships. 1. In the past, who set out on a long journey? A. Robbers on the roads. B. Mast people in the village. C. Those who traveled on foot.

But most families usually make a wedding a huge celebration which can last for as long as five days or more. It is common for wedding preparations to start a year before the actual date After a couple gets engaged to be married, the date for the wedding is chosen very carefully based on the bride and grooms birthdays. Two days before the wedding, celebrations begin at the grooms home. This is called “Making the Groom”. Musicians visit his home at four in the morning and play traditional music while the grooms relatives and neighbours come to see him. While there, they make decorations from mango leaves. Next, someone washes the groom with coconut or olive oil. His face is painted with a black dot on each cheek and a spot between his eyes. Then an older person in the family offers the groom money as a gift. The bride goes through a ceremony before the wedding called “Making the Bride”.
