A great part of Arabia is desert. Here there is nothing but sand and rock. The sand is so hot that
you cannot walk over it with your bare feet in the day time. Here and there in the desert are springs of
water that come from deep under the ground-so deep that the sun cannot dry them up. These springs are
few and far apart, but wherever there is one, green grass very soon covers the ground all around it. Soon
fig trees and palm trees grow tall and graceful, making a cool, shady place around the spring. Such a place
is called an oasis.
The Arabs who are not in the cities live in the desert all the year round. They live in tents that can be
put up and taken down very easily and quickly, so that they can move from one oasis to another, seeking
grass and water for their sheep, goats, camels and horses. These desert Arabs eat ripe, sweet figs and also
the dates that grow on the palm trees; they dry them too and use them as food all the year round.
These Arabs have the finest horses in the world and Arab is very proud of his riding. He loves his
wife and children. He never puts heavy loads upon his horse, and often lets him stay in the tent with his
family.
