M:What are you reading, Lucy?

W:The Travels of Marco Polo. We have to read it for class. Marco Polo was a famous traveler from Italy at the end of the 13th century. He spent 24 years on his journey and even went as far as China. Have you heard about him?

M:Of course! I love learning about the ancient explorers and travelers. Through them,you can find out what the world was like in those times. But there is an even older traveler that I like more. Do you know about Xuanzang?

W:No. Who was he?

M:He was a Chinese man from the 7th century. It took him 17 years to go from China to India and back. He wanted to learn about the origin of Buddhism. His journey must have been amazing. If you'd like to read about it, there's a storybook called Journeyto the West. It is a fantasy story about Xuanzang's experiences.
