3. Hello , I’m
Nikunj. How
are you?
Hi , I’m Harshit.
We are going
to travel back in
time to visit
Marco Polo.
Let’s meet him now.

4. Hello ,Harshit .
Hello , Nikunj .
Welcome to my home. Let
me tell you about my life as
a traveller and about the
places I have explored. They
are really inetersting.
Nice to meet you Mr.Marco.

5. Marco Polo’s father was a merchant. He grew up
listening about his many adventures. Young
Marco wanted to be like his father. He wanted
to travel all over the world. Marco Polo was a
good student. His favourite subjects were Maths
and Trade.

6. Marco Polo made his first voyage
when he was 17 . He went with his
father and uncle . He traveled
through many places. The journey
was long and tough but he did not
give up. Marco Polo learned a lot
about traveling in unknown lands .
He wanted to reach new lands and
meet new people.

7. Marco Polo travelled to China through the Silk Route .
The Silk Route connects Europe with China .
Marco Polo crossed many towns and big cities. He
met many new people. He saw many new things. He
saw new cultures, customs and religions . It took him
more than three years to reach China. He was very
excited exploring all those places.

8. Marco Polo served for 17 years in Kublai Khan’s
court. In 1292 , he left for Italy for the last time.
He sailed with 14 ships and 600 people. During
the journey, he explored many lands. Among
them they were Indonesia , Sri Lanka and India.
He saw that every country was different from the
other and their cultures differ as well. It took
him more than two years to reach Italy.

9. When Marco Polo reached Venice he looked like
an Asian. He told Vanetians about the riches of
the East. He showed them rubies , emeralds and
diamonds. He told them about paper currency ,
postal system , and spaghetti. He told them how
Europe is different from Asia. He told them
about his adventures. They like his stories a lot.
They were very eager to find out more and
more.

10. After his return Marco Polo joined
the army. He was imprisoned
while fighting a war . In prison he
wrote about his travels and
adventures in a kind of diary. He
called his book ‘’The Million’’ . As
a result, the book was translated
into many languages. Many
people wanted to have a copy of
it. Every traveller wanted to have
it as a kind of guide. Also
Columbus carried a copy of the
book during his voyage.

11. We can say that Marco Polo was a great traveler .
He traveled all over Asia. His voyages took him
24 years . How could the world honour him?
Have you got any ideas? For many years many
ships around the world have been named after
him. Have you ever travelled on ship named after
him?
In honour of Marco polo
