I found "brook" that meas "a small steam" in cambridge dictionary , why it use "steam"
steam means "the hot gas that is produced when water boils " in the same dictionary

I think "a small river" is better than " a small steam"

If I am right ? or wrong ?

Answer

You are correct. This was likely a typographical error. The word should be "stReam." They left out the R. A stream is a small brook. A river flows bigger and stronger than a stream, which might just be a stream that is only seen when it is raining (it dries up when not raining). stream
