Two hundred years ago, American Indians moved a lot.
200年前,美国印第安人经常搬家。
Because there were many fruits, vegetables, fish and animals, they did not have to grow grain.
因为这里有充足的水果蔬菜、鱼类和动物,所以他们不用种粮食。
They moved from one place to another when they could not find any more food.
当他们找不到食物时,就从一个地方搬到另一个地方。
So they did not want to spend much time building houses. Instead they made tents.
