The Trees went on Strike!
written by Zoraiz Babar & Ahmed from class V-A
One such morning, Ahmed woke up and what he saw sent shivers down his spine. The trees were protesting! Ahmed was really shocked. The trees were saying that humans don’t take care of us. We won’t do our work. Everyone was in a state of horror. Ahmed got out of his bed and asked his mom what was going on. Mom replied,” Who knows?” The trees were protesting effortlessly day and night
without doing a single job. A day after, all the people were having trouble breathing and there wasn’t even a single shop of food! As the trees stopped giving oxygen and they didn’t even give food. Chaos was everywhere. People
were scared of what would happen next. Finally, an old woman suggested that we should ask the Wise Ones. The Wise Ones are a group of 3 men who know the
ancient past. Also, they know exactly what to do in this situation. The people went to the Wise ones and told them their situation. So the Wise ones decided to help them.
They set off on a journey to the Great Master Tree, who was the king of the trees. When they reached there, they pleaded with the tree to make the other trees stop the protest. As the great tree was kind, he agreed only on one condition that humans should take care of it and the ecosystem. Since then, humans have started taking care of the trees and the ecosystem.
