     There are lots of animals on the earth. What is the biggest animal of all? The whale is. A blue whale weighs
more than a hundred tons.
     Whales live in the sea, but they are not fish. They are mammals and must have air to breathe. The babies
drink milk from the mother's body. Every spring, groups of whales swim hundreds of kilometers to warm
places.
     Each group goes to the same place every year. The mothers take very good care of their babies. Whales
are a gentle kind of giant. They always live together and help each other. They "talk" to each other in the water
with a high noise that sounds like singing.
     Yet people kill over a hundred whales a day. They kill them to make many things. The whale dies very
slowly and in great pain. Some ships kill every whale they can find, even mother whales and babies. If things
go on like this, there will be no young whales to grow up and no mother whales to have more young.

      Scientists are trying to make the deserts into good land again. They want to bring water to the deserts, so
people can live and grow food. They are learning a lot about the deserts. But more and more of the earth is
becoming desert all the time. Scientists may not be able to change the desert in time.
      Why is more and more land becoming desert? Scientists think that people make deserts. People are doing
bad things to the earth.
      Some places on the earth don't get much rain. But they still don't become deserts. This is because some
green plants are growing there. Small green plants and grass are very important to dry places. Plants don't let the
hot sun make the earth even drier. Plants don't let the wind blow the dirt away. When a little bit of rain falls, the
plants hold the water. Without plants, the land can become a desert much more easily.
