The Baobab Tree

   The baobab (猴面包) tree grows in west Africa and Australia. It is a very strange looking tree. Its huge trunk sometimes measure as much as ten metres in diameter (直径). It is thicker at the bottom than at the top. The branches nearest to the ground are very long; those near the top are very short. Strange looking it may be, it is very useful. Its leaves are glad to eat. Its white flowers turn into cool fruit which tastes rather like cucumber(黄瓜). When a baobab tree gets old, its trunk becomes hollow. An old tree has such a huge hollow trunk that it can hold many people: When it rains, water collects in the hollow. The tree has such a lot of leaves and branches that the water remains cool and fresh. It is such a useful tree that some people can hardly live without the baobab tree.
