Listening 3 The name of this national park “Len?óis Maranheses” means the “bedsheets of Maranh?o”, the state in Brazil where the park is located.

Green and blue pools of water are left behind by the rain, fishermen go out to sea in their boats, and local people take care of herds of goats. So is the Len?óis a desert, or a seascape? Is it a park, or a place where people live? In fact, it’s not a true desert because it receives around 42 inches (120 centimeters) of rain each year.

They raise chickens, goats, cattle, and crops such as cassava, beans, and cashews during the dry season. When it rains, residents go out to sea and live in fishing camps on the beach.
