--- lesson 62 after the fire[00:00:01]

--- first listen and then answer the question.[00:00:06]

--- what was the danger to the villages after the fire?[00:00:12]

firemen had been fighting the forest fire for nearly three weeks before they could get it under control.[00:00:20]

a short time before, great trees had covered the countryside for miles around.[00:00:28]

now, smoke still rose up from the warm ground over the desolate hills.[00:00:36]

winter was coming on and the hills threatened the surrounding villages with destruction,[00:00:43]

for heavy rain would not only wash away the soil but would cause serious floods as well.[00:00:50]

when the fire had at last been put out,[00:00:59]

the forest authorities ordered several tons of a special type of grass-seed which would grow quickly.[00:01:02]

the seed was sprayed over the ground in huge quantities by aeroplanes.[00:01:11]

the planes had been planting seed for nearly a month when it began to rain.[00:01:18]

by then, however, in many places the grass had already taken root.[00:01:25]

in place of the great trees which had been growing there for centuries, patches of green had begun to appear in the blackened soil.[00:01:31]

--- end[00:01:42]
