Hearing this, the Moon asks: “Really? China’s Yangtze River and Yellow River are like this as well?”
The Earth says: “Don’t even mention it. The Yangtze and Yellow rivers are used to be the pride of China. But now, because of the humans’ excessive and random lumbering, the Yangtze River often cause floods. The upper reach of the Yellow River has a serious loss of sediment, and the lower reach has too much sediment, causing the river bed rising every year. It has surpassed the level of its farm fields on both sides, becoming the ‘heaven river’. ”
The Moon says: “I never thought that you too have so many worries!”
