Nobody knows why.(1)_______________________.Their later generations are called the Romany people,or Gypsies.There are Gypsies all over the world,and many of them are still travelling with no fixed homes.There are about 8 million of them,including 3 million in eastern Europe.Gypsies sometimes have a hard time in the countries where they travel,because they are different.People may be afraid of them,look down on them,or think that they are criminals.(2)_______________________.Gypsies have their own language,Romany.They liked music and dancing.And they often work in fairs and travelling shows.Travelling is very important to them,and many Gypsies are unhappy if they have to stay in one place.Because of this,it is difficult for Gypsy children to go to school,and Gypsies are often unable to read and write.In some places, the education authorities try to arrange special travelling schools for Gypsy children, so that they can get the same education as other children.
