Read
the
text
and
answer
the
following
questions
.
River
gypsies
are
an
ethnic
group
in
Bangladesh
.
They
are
known
as
bedey
to
local
people
.
The
gypsies
have
their
own
lifestyle
and
culture
.
They
live
in
groups
and
do
not
own
any
land
.
Therefore
,
they
live
a
nomadic
life
travelling
from
one
place
to
another
.
These
people
roam
across
our
rivers
and
waters
from
May
to
December
in
small
country
boats
.
These
boats
are
their
houses
and
these
people
are
a
part
of
our
waters
.
In
winter
,
many
water
bodies
dry
up
.
At
that
time
they
return
to
the
mainland
and
live
in
make-shift
tarpaulin
tents
on
open
river
banks
.
You
can
see
their
men
relaxing
in
the
tents
.
Toddlers
play
with
dogs
or
other
pets
in
the
dust
.
Women
often
idle
away
time
by
hair
doing
,
picking
off
lice
in
twos
or
threes
sitting
in
a
row
.
