Do you live in the city? Do you know how cities began? Long, long ago, the world had only a few thousand people. These people moved from one place to another. They moved over the land, hunting animals for food.
No one knows how or where these people learned about growing food. But when they did it, their life changed. They could stay in one place and grew crops to eat.
People began to live near one another. And so the first villages grew. Many people came to work in the villages. These villages grew bigger and bigger.

Today, some people are moving back to small towns. Can you tell why?
