Summarize the following passage in about 60 words.

People who live in regions covered with forests and surrounded by hills and rivers may it difficult to imagine

what a desert is really like. The popular belief is that it is an endless stretch of sand where no rain falls, and therefore no vegetation grows. It is dry, hot, waterless and without shelter. But this is not entirely correct. For those who have studied it, the desert can be a beautiful place. It is the home of a variety of people, animals and plants that have learnt to live under very hot and dry conditions.

True, the ground is not always hidden by a cover of grass, plants and trees as it is in other climates. But

whenever it rains, which is rare, desert flowers bloom and the sight can be worth watching. A desert may have mountains and hills. It may have an oasis, big or small. An oasis, is like a green island in the middle of a desert, where a spring or a well give plants and trees a better chance to grow.
