Like a Line of Friends
Imagine you're walking to school, and there’s a line of your friends standing beside the sidewalk. They’re always there, watching you go, maybe waving or smiling. That's kind of like what trees do along main roads, they stand by the road, giving us shade on hot days or whispering in the wind.
Big Plants with Roots
These trees have roots, which are like their feet underground. The roots help them stay steady and drink water from deep below. Trees also have leaves, which are like green hands that wave to the sun. When it rains, they catch the raindrops and turn them into water for their bodies.
Sometimes people plant trees along roads so that cars don’t make too much noise, and so we can enjoy a nicer walk or ride. It's like giving the road a green border made of living friends!
