[А] The streets are straight, wide and well paved, and [Б] in the middle there are deep canals, [а] into which water flows noisily, [а'] carrying away with it all the sewage from the city, and [б'] moreover being very useful in case of a fire.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5j4gm6ab442ngvnd7jqlm5la/bafkreib3qlnlagbs4duwfxrvmdjgylvxt7vvhwk7zu725lqytcnrriu3ya)
