First Farmers Settle

People once moved from place to place to hunt animals and gather plants. Later they grew crops, kept animals, and built villages where they stayed.

  3. A wheat field: rows of ripe grain ready to harvest.
  4. A sheep and goat pen: a fenced enclosure with one sheep and one goat.
