Many years ago，there were lots of trees on earth，because summer lasted a whole year．What was the forest like? It is not difficult to see，because parts of that ancient（古老的）forest still stand．It is the rainforest．Here，even in a sunny day water drops through the leaves．

Today's largest rainforest is in South America．It covers about a million square miles．All the trees are very tall；the young trees are nearly sixty feet high．But it is not easy for some to grow higher because very little sunlight leaches them．
