english: But the Everglades is not just a park; it's an entire watershed, starting with the Kissimmee chain of lakes in the north, and then as the rains would fall in the summer, these downpours would flow into Lake Okeechobee, and Lake Okeechobee would fill up and it would overflow its banks and spill southward, ever slowly, with the topography, and get into the river of grass, the Sawgrass Prairies, before meting into the cypress slews, until going further south into the mangrove swamps, and then finally -- finally -- reaching Florida Bay, the emerald gem of the Everglades, the great estuary, the 850 square-mile estuary.
non_english: Ale Everglades nie je len park. Je to celé povodie, ktoré sa začína  sieťou jazier Kissimmee na severe. A keď v lete padnú dažde, tieto zrážky tečú do jazera Okeechobee, jazero Okeechobee sa naplní a jeho brehy sa zalejú a rozlejú sa južne a (s touto topografiou) neskutočne pomaly a dostanú sa do riečnej trávy  v prérii Sawgrass, než narazia na húštiny cyprusov, a potom nižšie na juhu zasiahnu mangrové močiare, a potom konečne – konečne – dosiahnu Floridský záliv. Smaragdový klenot Everglades. Veľké ústie o rozlohe 850 štvorcových míľ.
