The talking tree
Once upon a time, there were some children playing on the Great Forest. They were very naughty children, trying to rip the leaves from the trees, hanging from the branches, and throwing trash around.
After a while, one of the children got scared because the tree he was hanging of started to come alive, it started to move and to talk.
“What is going on? Why is the tree moving and talking to us?” they asked themselves surprised.
“Children, Why are you ripping off my leaves and hanging from my branches? You are dirtying up the Great Forest instead of throwing the trash into a wastebasket. It hurts me, I am a living being,” said the tree, very sadly.
“There is no reason to do this to me,” he continued. “Did you know that thanks to us, the trees, there’s oxygen in the world? Birds have places to build their nests and have baby birds. Thanks to us trees you have paper and doors at school and home, tables, desks and many more things. Why are you destroying us? Trees are useful, even if you children don’t know it. If you take care of us, we can give you more things to enjoy.”
“You’re right, Mr. Tree, we have understood our mistake.”
“Don’t worry children, you can help us by making signs and posters and place them in the Great Forest, teaching everyone else how to care for us.”
