Read:
Tamarinds have a beautiful tree. They came to ___ other lands and liked __ Manaus. Here they flourished as if it were their own land.
The Amazon is an equatorial region and they like climates like that.
Zezé's father planted a tamarind tree on the farm, which is now about fifteen years old. It has scattered branches and twigs wrapped around each other, perfect for building nests. That's why the birds gather there, since dawn, to celebrate the dawn.
There are many birds that shelter in its branches, mixed among the leaves.
When Zezé gets out of bed, the tamarind is the first creature of God he sees through the window.
[…]
– Good morning, friend Tamarinho, did you wake up as usual, happy and in a good mood? – Zeze asks. And it goes on.
- I see that the green fabric of your branches is full of nests of birds.
– I'm doing very well, my friend – the tree seems to reply –, it's the beginning of November and I feel covered with flowers. So I will stay until December. From March to July I will be bearing fruit.
