Yaming: Welcome back, Ella! How was your trip?
Ella: It was great! We saw the Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River. Is that the longest river in China?
Yaming: No, the Yangtze River is the longest river in China. It travels the farthest and is about 6,300 kilometres long. The Yellow River is 5,464 kilometres long and is the second longest. By the way, do you know why it's called the Yellow River?
Ella: Because it's yellow?
Yaming: Right. Some parts of the river carry brown and yellow earth.
Ella: That's interesting! I like learning about rivers. My favourite is the Nile. Did you know it's the longest river in Africa?
Yaming: Yes, it's 6,671 kilometres long. It's very important in Egypt's history.
Ella: That's right. Both the Nile and the Yellow River helped ancient civilizations to develop. And they're still very important today.
Yaming: Yes. In China, we even call the Yellow River our "mother river"!
Ella: We should protect them by all means.
