Gifts of the Rainforest Did you know that rainforests give us many items that we use
in every day life? They do! Lots of things like chocolate, rubber, and
lots of fruits come from rainforests.
You might wonder where these items come from. Chocolate comes the cocoa bean and the
rubber comes from a tree that is called the rubber tree. But did you know that some of our medicine
is from the rainforest, too? We get medicines to treat heart disease, high blood
pressure, and stomach problems. Scientists hope that they will find cures for
other serious diseases in the rain forests.
The medicine comes from rain forest flowers. The rainforest is very important to us. So
please take good care of the rainforests of the world!!
