Many centuries ago, the Sahara was full of trees. As time passed, the land became dry and 
hot, and trees became rare. But one acacia tree in the Tenere region o f Niger survived longer than 
j
the rest. Caravans transporting goods across the vast desert used the tree o f Tenere as a mark. 
This tree was so important for guiding across the sandy landscape that no one dared to cut off its 
branches for fire. It was the only tree for almost 400 kilometres around. In 1938, French military 
engineers dug a well near the tree. They discovered water more than 30 metres underground. 
Unfortunately, one of the military vehicles backed into the tree during the digging operation.
The accident damaged one of the tree’s main branches. After World W ar II, lorries became the 
main form of transportation for caravans in the area, replacing camels. In 1973, the acacia tree 
was once again struck by another lorry. This time the tree could not sustain the force. A metal 
monument now stands where the tree once grew.

If the temperature drops low enough, the water in lakes begins to freeze. A thick layer of ice 
creates the right conditions for ice fishing. This popular winter sport is similar in many ways to 
regular fishing. Both sports require lures, small suspending objects that look like food to a fish, 
and hooks attached to a rope. And just like regular fishing, ice fishing requires skill and patience. 
It also provides an opportunity to talk to friends or to enjoy quiet time by yourself. However, 
ice fishing involves more work and equipment than regular fishing. To fish in water, you simply

need a fishing stick, lure, and a good place. Ice fishing must be done on a layer of ice at least ten 
centimetres thick. Ice fishers use a drill to make a hole about twenty centimetres wide through 
the ice. Ice fishers also need special clothes, including a thick winter coat, a hat, and gloves. Many 
ice fishers build shelters to protect themselves from the cold. Some shelters even have ovens and 
satellite TVs. Shelters look like little huts.
