It's r for about six percent of global sea trade. Usually, up to forty ships can pass through the canal each day. But over the past few months, far f ships have made the trip. On December l, the number fell to 22. And starting from February 2024, only 18 ships will be able to cross d . The Panama Canal authority made the decision to cut the number of ships. The agency had to take action because of unusually dry weather this year. Rainwater is e to the canal. Because it's 26 meters above sea level, ships need to be raised by locks(船闸) in order to enter and leave. And these locks need lots of water to work. On average, each crossing uses two hundred million liters of water. That's enough to feel 80 Olympic-size swimming pools. In the past, the rainy season in Panama l from May to December, This rainfall could refill several man-made reservoirs(水库). The largest one is Lake Gatun, Its water levels usually rose by one to three meters during the wet season. This year, however, they've fallen. October was the driest month since 1950. This all means trouble for global trade, Some transport companies are c changing course. They may instead go through the Suez Canal(苏伊士运河) or around Cape Horn(合思角). Others may choose to unload cargo(货物) at one end of the canal and transport it by land across Panama. Such s are far more expensive, but there's no easy one without rain. D.

The store was nearly30 minutes away and I didn't plan on going back anytime soon, so I threw them in my closet.

The next day, I went to the grocery store and noticed an Angel Tree in the lobby with gifts underneath to go toa homeless shelter. One of the paper angels had fallen off, so I went to pick it up and took a moment to read the wish. It was from a woman who was asking for a warm pair of slippers - size extra small. Pink is my favorite colour, she'd written. With great joy, I went home, wrapped up the slippers and went back to the store. As I placed the package under the Angel Tree, a store clerk smiled and thanked me. “Actually, I'm the thankful one." I thought.
