Lesson 2 A Giraffe in Central Asia
Tamerlane was a very strong Mongol leader.He and his soldiers fought until Tamerlane became the ruler of all Central Asia.Rulers of other countries wanted to make friends with Tamerlane.It was safer to be friends than enemies.
Ambassadors from many countries took gifts to Tamerlane.They took beautiful cloth,jewelry,gold,and silver.They often tried to take something unusual as a gift,too.
In 1404,near the end of Tamerlane’s life,an Egyptian ambassador arrived in Samarkand.This was where Tamerlane lived.The ambassador and his men traveled on horses and camels.They brought a giraffe from Africa as a gift.
Egyptian camels and horses were used to walking in the desert.They did it all the time.A giraffe is not used to the desert.But this giraffe walked 5000 kilometers from Cairo to Samarkand.
We know about the Egyptian ambassador’s gift because several people wrote about it.No one wrote that Tamerlane liked it.However,we suppose that he was very pleased to have this strong African animal in Central Asia.
帖木儿是一位强大的蒙古领袖.他与他的将士并肩作战最终他成了中亚的统治者.其他国家的统治者想与他结交,因为与其成为敌人不如成为盟友.
多国使节为帖木儿带来了礼物.有华丽的服装,珠宝,还有金银.他们也时常带来与众不同的礼品.
在1404年,在帖木儿暮年之际,一位埃及大使来到了帖木儿住的地方-----撒马尔罕.这个大使乘架马和骆驼而来.他们从非洲带来了一只长颈鹿作为礼物.
埃及骆驼和马匹适应在沙漠行走因为它们一直是这样走的.而长颈鹿则不适应沙漠.但是这头长颈鹿从开罗到撒马尔罕共行走了5000公里.
我们知道这个埃及大使的礼物,因为有人写过它.而没人写道帖木儿喜欢它.但是,我们猜测他应该非常高兴中亚能够拥有这样一头强壮的非洲动物.
