The Nile River

The Nile River is in Africa, it is part of the Fertile Crescent. The water in the Nile goes down and up. It goes up because it rains on the mountain and the water goes down the mountain and into the river and fills it up. The farmers loved it because it gave them water and left behind silt. Silt is something really good for the plants. My mom wants to go into our lake and dig it up and put it all around our plants in our garden. Silt is a soil with lots of vitamins that plants love.
