Dahulu kala, para pedagang membuat perjalanan yang sangat panjang di Asia. Orang menyebut jalan tua ini Jalan Sutra. Jalan itu dari China sampai ke Eropa, melewati gunung tinggi dan gurun kering. Seluruh jalan ini panjangnya lebih dari enam ribu kilometer.
Para pedagang membawa sutra dari China di atas punggung unta dan kuda. Mereka juga menjual teh, rempah-rempah, dan batu yang indah. Saat pulang, mereka membawa kaca, kuda, dan emas ke China. Perjalanan ini lambat dan sulit, dan bisa memakan waktu berbulan-bulan.
Jalan Sutra tidak hanya membawa barang. Jalan ini juga membawa ide, seni, dan kata-kata baru antara Timur dan Barat. Orang di Roma suka sutra, tapi mereka tidak tahu cara membuatnya. Beberapa orang bahkan berpikir sutra tumbuh di pohon seperti daun.
That's the story.
