 The Nile can save peoples lives because it
provides foods such as fish, bread and beer. The
fertile soil near the river Nile allowed the
ancient Egyptians to grow wheat . The wheat
could be made into beer or bread. The Egyptians
didn't drink dirty water because in some parts of
the river Nile the water was very clean to drink.
Not just food came from the Nile but came from
the trees. The trees provided fruits such as figs
and grapes. For the wealthy ancient Egyptians
they had coconuts and olives. As for the poorer
ancient Egyptian families it seemed they had to
exist on whatever they could find.
