The saying don't go swimming in a dry riverbed can be related as an idiomatic expression that teaches
people not to do things they would definitely regret even on their worst days because you'll probably face it
with worst consequences that will either make you look bad, or in some cases, look silly.
This is a saying that became popular from the story, Guno and Koyo.

dismissed it with doing silly acts.

dry riverbed.

story.

provided the people with means for transport, help with irrigation for farming, some food such as fish, and
even created fertile soil for growing crops.
6. Explain the importance of the three reasons of the Nile; the flood, agriculture, and harvest.
Answer:
The Nile River is very important to the Egyptians because when it is flooded it gives so much benefit to the
farmers. Both during and immediately after flooding, farmers were drafted into forced labor – the corvee
– as a method of paying their taxes. They dug and dredged canals that were developed to control the
flood waters or to mitigate droughts. They also had to prepare fields for planting.
The Nile River is also important in terms of agriculture. That surge of water and nutrients turned the Nile
Valley into productive farmland, and made it possible for Egyptian civilization to develop in the midst of a
desert.
The Nile River is also important to the harvest of the farmers because it serves as a way in which these
harvested products are being transported form one place to another.
