The helicopter lifted into the air like a really big, clumsy bug. We went up and over the city, looking down on the tops of homes and office buildings. But soon we were flying over the jungle.

I never got used to how beautiful it was. Every shade of green the world has ever seen was there in the rain forest. Set into all those greens, like jewels, were bright blue lakes that sparkled in the sun. Today, there were also a few low clouds sitting on top of the trees. In the distance, I could see the mountains. Clouds of cotton hung just over their tops.
