  • What was the danger to the villages after the fire?
    • 2
  • Firemen had been fighting the forest fire for nearly three weeks
    • 3
  • before they could get it under control.
    • 4
  • A short time before,
    • 5
  • great trees had covered the countryside for miles around.
    • 6
  • Now, smoke still rose up from the warm ground over the desolate hills.
    • 7
  • Winter was coming on
    • 8
  • and the hills threatened the surrounding villages with destruction,
    • 9
  • for heavy rain would not only wash away the soil
    • 10
  • but would cause serious floods as well.
    • 11
  • When the fire had at last been put out,
    • 12
  • the forest authorities ordered several tons
    • 13
  • of a special type of grass-seed which would grow quickly.
    • 14
  • The seed was sprayed over the ground in huge quantities by aeroplanes.
    • 15
  • The planes had been planting seed for nearly a month when it began to rain.
    • 16
  • By then, however, in many places the grass had already taken root.
    • 17
  • In place of the great trees which had been growing there for centuries,
    • 18
  • patches of green had begun to appear in the blackened soil.
