Nest and Hair
My sister， a primary school teacher， was informed by one of her pupils that a bird had built its nest in the tree outside the classroom。
"What kind of bird?" my sister asked。
"I didn't see the bird， ma' am， only the nest，" replied the child。
"Then， can you give us a description of the nest?" my sister encouraged her 。
"Well， ma'am， it just resembles your hair。 "

This is the Yellow River.Each year the Yellow River carries billions of tons of sediment from the Lesso Plateau eastwards to the crop fields of the Chinese heartland.
Historically,the Chinese relationship with the river has been uneasy.Sediment,building up on the riverbed,has caused the Yellow River to burst its banks periodically,unleashing devastating floods,resulting in millions of deaths.
