Trees are very useful to us. Trees give man and animals the food they need. Trees give us firewood for cooking and to warm ourselves. They provide us with logs and timber to build houses and to make furniture. They give us the planks and wood necessary for building boats and ships. Trees provide homes for many types of birds and animals such as monkeys and squirrels. We make paper and books from trees. Trees give us shade and a beautiful landscape. We enjoy the fragrance of their flowers and relish their delicious fruits. If we cut down trees, we must plant new ones in their places.
