What is a River?
A river is a long, flowing body of water. It moves from high places to low places.
The Source: Where Rivers Begin
The source is where a river starts. It is usually in the hills or mountains.

As the river moves, it flows through wide and flat land. Trees or villages might be nearby.
The Mouth: Where Rivers End
The mouth is where the river meets a bigger body of water, like a lake or the sea.
