Body of water

A body of water is like a big swimming pool, but it's not just for people to swim in. It can be a lake, a river, a pond or even the ocean! All sorts of things live in a body of water, like fish, plants, and even some animals that we can't see with our eyes.

Water is really important for all living things, and bodies of water are like homes for the things that live in them. Some bodies of water are really deep, and some are really shallow. Some are really wide, and some are really narrow.

People like to use bodies of water for all sorts of things, like swimming, boating, and fishing. But it's really important to take care of bodies of water so that all the living things that live in them can stay healthy and happy. Always remember to be careful around bodies of water and never go swimming without an adult watching.
