In very early times, all the people on the Earth were able to speak the same language. They lived together and could understand each other. People at that time were strong and ambitious. One day they had an idea. If we all get together, we can build a great city. We will call it the city of Babel and the tower of this city will go up to the sky. If we can do it, everybody will be happy. When the man started the Tower, God was watching them. «They can work really fast», he thought. Everything was going well and people forgot about God. They thought that they would be able to build the tower without him. God got very angry with the people. He decided to punish them. He gave them different languages so that they couldn't understand each other. After that people could not finish the tower. They could not live together and went to different places of the world.
Nowadays people can speak many languages, but most of them can speak English. Maybe, one day English will become the languages of the earth and people will be able communicate easily again.
