How Did the First Cities Get Built?

People started living together because it made life easier. At first, they lived in small groups and moved around to find food. But when the weather got good and there was enough food, they stayed put. Over time, more people came to live near them, like a big family growing bigger. They built houses out of mud and clay, and slowly, villages turned into cities.
