Save Trees

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful forest. There lived two trees named Chintu and Pintu. They were brothers. A troop of monkeys, a family of bird, the Bunky bear and the wise wolf lived on them. They were like a big family.

One day all the friends were chattering about something in the morning. Suddenly Pintu saw a woodcutter coming towards the forest. Chintu shouted to run to his all the animals and bird’s friends. But no one ran away from there. Pintu requested them to go but they said, you give us food to eat, shelter to live and fresh air to breath. We cannot leave you in this danger. Chintu and Pintu tears with happiness and thanked them. They made a plan and both trees said all the animals and birds to hide behind them, so all of them hide behind the leaves.

Woodcutter came near the trees but was confused as there were many trees to cut. At the time he saw Chintu and Pintu, the huge trees. He said be ready to cut you trees. The wise wolf already told the plan to all of them, so when the woodcutter came near the tree to cut all of them started jumping around him and monkeys started jumping on him. When all the animals and birds were busy around the woodcutter, the wise wolf ran to the king lion and told him to come there. The king roared loudly and reached there by running. After hearing lion’s roar, the woodcutter was afraid and ran away from there. All the animals and birds thanked to the king as well as wolf for his cleverness.

After this incident the woodcutter thought that trees are so important for us as well as to the animals and birds. They give food, shelter, shade, flower to them. I will stop cutting the trees and find new work to do and he opened a nursery and planted many new plants in his village and because of that many domestic animals and birds started coming in the village. People also thanked him to do the new things. We should also plant more and more trees to save our land.

Moral: Save trees, plant trees and secure our future by thinking about nature.
