In Malta the sun can be very strong especially in Summer. This photo story shows us why trees are so important. First, the sun shines brightly in the sky, making the temperature rise and everything hot. Then, its rays pass through a carob tree, showing how the tree blocks some of the rays and heat. Finally under the tree, there is cool shade where people and animals can rest in a cooler place. This shows us the importance of trees in hot countries like Malta because they keep us, other creatures, and our environment cooler and more comfortable
