Amazon ni mto mkubwa huko Amerika Kusini. Ni mto mkubwa zaidi duniani kwa kiasi cha maji. Unabeba maji mengi kuliko mito mingine mingi ukiyaweka pamoja.

The Amazon is a great river in South America. It is the biggest river in the world by the amount of water. It carries more water than many other large rivers all together.

Mto huanzia juu milimani na kutiririka hadi baharini. Njiani, unapita katika nchi tisa. Kuzunguka mto huo kuna msitu mkubwa wa kijani, uliojaa miti, ndege, samaki, na wanyama wengine wengi.

The river starts high in the mountains and flows to the sea. On the way, it passes through nine countries. Around the river there is a huge green forest, full of trees, birds, fish, and many other animals.

Amazon ni muhimu sana kwa sayari yetu. Msitu huo mkubwa unatoa hewa safi kwa dunia na ni makazi ya mimea na wanyama mamilioni. Watu wengi pia wanaishi karibu na mto huo. Wanatumia maji yake kila siku kunywa, kupika, na kusafiri kwa mashua.
