عجب ديواري !

 

In China, there is a wall that twists and turns like a dragon as it goes over
 
mountains and across valleys. It is about as high as a three-story building.
 
And it goes on and on, for more than 1,500 miles ( 2,410 kilometers ).
 
No wonder it is called the Great Wall of China!
 
At one time, there were many rulers in China. These rulers often put up walls to
 
protect their land and their people. About two thousand years ago, the first
 
emperor of all China decided to connect some of these walls. He wanted to protect
 
China from invaders living to the north. So he began work on the Great Wall. It was
 
made of dirt, stones, and bricks. And the top was wide enough for troops and
 
horsemen to use as a road.
 
In later years, other emperors made repairs and added new sections to the wall. The
 
last work was done about four hundred years ago. Much of the Great Wall still
 
stands.
 
But it isn't any good for protection because airplanes can fly over it.
