COMPREHENSION

If someone wanted to send a smoke signal, he or she had to build a fire. Then they had to wear a blanket over the fire to form patterns with the smoke signals. The member of smoke signals and the spacing between the signals sent different messages.
Drum beats
Drum beats could be heard many kilometres away. The sound travelled from one village to another. The person sending the message would beat the drum in a special rhythm.
