trips, Marco saw many amazing things that he had never seen

in Europe, such as coal used as fuel, paper money

i 90 of coins, and papermaking and printing processes.

Marco made many notes about life in China.

After almost twenty years in China, the Polos began their

journey home to Italy. Kublai Khan gave them many gifts of

ivory, silk, jewels, and jade.

When they returned to Venice, they found their city at war.

Marco Polo was put in prison. He spent his time w 91 a
