Manuel learns from his teacher that trees purify the air, ensuring breathable conditions essential for human life. The farmer emphasizes that trees are critical for rainfall, averting drought and enabling food cultivation; without them, crops fail, leading to starvation. His mother explains the economic value of trees, noting that the city requires wood, firewood, and coal derived from them, providing income through sales. Manuel's grandfather further enriches this understanding by detailing the shade trees offer, their role in bearing fruit and medicinal properties, and their use in constructing homes. He also points out that tree roots stabilize the soil, a crucial function during heavy rains and floods, protecting homes and crops from the damaging force of strong winds. The narrative visually depicts scenes of tree cutting, discussions about the necessity of wood, and the benefits trees provide to the environment and human well-being, underscoring a holistic appreciation for these natural resources.","I like trees  \nWriter: World Education, Inc.  \nIllustration: Silva Afonso  \nTranslated By: Isabelle Duston  \nEnglish Story Book  \nI like trees  \nWriter: World Education, Inc.
