The Amazon Rainforest








                 The Amazon rainforest gets hundreds of centimeters



          of rain each year. The rain helps keep the plants green.




          Plants on the floor level of the rainforest get less rain.



          The tall trees get direct sunlight and much of the




          rainfall. Monkeys, birds, and butterflies live in the tall



          trees of the Amazon.
