It was late. John was very tired after a long day. He went to bed and soon fell asleep. Charlie was sleeping beside the bed. Suddenly, Charlie started barking①. John woke up and smelt smoke. A fire! Smoke started to come in from under the door. John knew they couldn’t get out that way now. Their room was on the 8th floor, so they couldn’t climb out of the window. They had to do something to stop the smoke. With Charlie’s help, John put some wet clothes along the bottom of the door. Then he got down on the floor next to Charlie and waited. The minutes seemed like hours. Then he heard it—the sound of a fire engine. It was music to his ears.

Extending and developing competencies
Focusing on culture
Many farm animals and pets used to be wild animals. How did they become our friends and helpers Let’s find out what happened.
1 Read the article about domestication① and find out how animals were domesticated.
Long ago, dogs, sheep and cows used to be wild animals. How did they turn into pets and farm animals Let’s find out!
Dogs The story of domestication started somewhere in Asia, about 15,000 to 23,000 years ago. Back then, people moved across the land. They hunted large animals and often left meat on the ground. This attracted wolves, and they probably began following the hunters. Some people started catching baby wolves. They trained these young wolves to hunt with them. With every generation, people kept wolves with “friendly” genes②. Over thousands of years, these pet wolves turned into dogs.

Sheep Around 13,000 years ago, people in West Asia began to domesticate animals like sheep. Sheep are small and not very dangerous, and they move in big groups and follow their leader. This makes them easy to domesticate. They became an important source of meat. Later, the farmers also learnt how to make clothes from their wool.

Cows People in West Asia started to domesticate aurochs③ —a kind of wild ox④ —sometime after 8000 BCE. Aurochs are now extinct, but they used to live all over Europe and Asia. They provided people with milk and meat, and they were also good working animals. As with other animals, people chose to keep aurochs with “good” genes, and the animals slowly turned into the cows we see today.
Over many thousands of years, pets and farm animals changed because of human efforts. The story of domestication still continues today.
