Levi Strauss came to the United States from Germany in 1847. He stayed with his family in New York, where they owned a clothing store. In 1853, while the Gold Rush was in full swing, he moved to San
Francisco, California and sold supplies to gold miners. His real success came when he and tailor Jacob
Davis teamed up to make the first 'blue jeans" for miners. These durable (sturdy) pants were popular with
the miners and Strauss became a very wealthy man.

Ineed advice. i have a lot of friends at school but recently my best friend for some reason didn’t like our friend group. she wanted to switch to a new table during lunch. she said she found a new table where we would be welcomed if i wanted to come. i agreed because i knew i would continue to talk to them outside of lunch. after a month or two, my best friend got mad at our new lunch table group. so she left for a day or two, but i stayed because i actually kinda liked it there, even if it was kinda crazy. then she came back to the table. eventually i started to miss my old friends at my old lunch table. so i went over there for one lunch. then after lunch i sat at my new lunch spot before the bell rang. they all called me a traitor. so now i sit with my old lunch group, which is fine because i missed them, but i also miss my new, now old, lunch table. what should i do? p.s. sorry if you loose your last brain cells trying to understand this.
