Many places in the world need more fresh（淡的）water．Every country is trying to find ways to turn salt water into fresh．

Why aren't there many factories like the Symi factory？

In some places，the sun is not hot enough．Or it does not shine every day．

In such places，other ways of heating（加热）sea water can be used．These ways cost more money，but they work faster than the sun．By boiling（煮沸）sea water with high heat，a lot of fresh water can be made quickly．

But heating is not the only way to get fresh water from salt water．Other ways are tried．

One way is freezing（冷冻）．The fresh part of salt water freezes first．To get fresh water，the bits of ice are takenout．

Which way is the best？The one that gives the most water for the least money．It may be a different way for each place．

Symi's way seems very good for small，hot places．It does not make very much water at a time．But the factory is easy to build and costs little．

That is why people in many dry places talk about Symi！

Canada Geese are large blue and white birds．When autumn arrives，they have to fly south where the weather is warmer．The winters are so cold in Canada that the birds die if they stay there．

Last spring，Bill Lishman found sixteen young Canada Geese on his farm ．They had lost their parents．Bill thought，“These young birds won't know what to do in the autumn．”

Bill had a small plane and he decided to teach the birds to follow him ．All through the summer，he went on short trips in his plane and the young geese flew after him ．

When the cold weather arrived in autumn，Bill flew to Virginia in the United States，600 miles south from his home in Canada．The geese followed him all the way．Bill left the geese in Virginia and he returned home．
