There is a small fire station in town. At this station, the firefighters are volunteers. That
means they work for free. The fire station gets some money from the government to take care of
the building and the fire truck. But the fire station has a problem. Last winter, a pipe in the fire
station froze. Then it burst. Water went everywhere. There is a lot of damage. Now the building
cannot be used. What is worse, the fire station does not have enough money for the repairs needed

The Mighty Amazon
The Amazon is the largest river in the world. Measuring about 6,400 kilometers from source
to mouth, it is second in length only to the Nile. The Nile flows 6,695 kilometers in Africa and is the
longest, but it does not compare with the South America river in other respects. With its numerous
tributaries (more than 1,100 in total), the Amazon drains a territory of more than 7 million square
kilometers (40% of South America) the largest river basin in the world. The Amazon has by far the
greatest volume of any river, carrying more water than Nile, Mississippi and Yangtzw rivers
combined. In a single second it discharges about 180,000 cubic meters of water into the Atlantic,
pushing back the waters of the ocean for enormous distances. It is so powerful that you can take
and drink fresh water from the ocean 150 kilometers away from the river mouth.
The exact source of the Amazon, the precise location where the great river begins, had for a
long time been the subject of argument and speculation, but in 2001, in an expedition sponsored by
the National Geographic Society, an international team of explorers managed to find the true source.
Using the most modern GPS (Global Positioning System) navigational equipment, the explorers
identified the place where the Amazon begins as a small stream on a mountain called Nevado Mismi
in the Peruvian Andes, roughly 60 kilometers away from Lima and the Pacific Ocean. It is just a
trickle of water but it is the true origin of the mightiest, the most powerful river in the world.
