… Once upon a time there were some animals gathered
together in the forest to find solutions on how to protect
the environment.
These animals ate fruit and leaves without destroying the
trees.
The forest has many types of trees and flowers but one
tree in particular is special.
It is very-very tall and it touches the sky.
It’s fruit are very nutritious for all of the animals, but none
of them can climb so high to collect the fruit.
One day the squirrel decided to try and climb up the tall
tree.
It was easy for it to do it, because the squirrel has stability
when jumping for limb to limb.
The squirrels started eating the nutritious fruit for breakfast
every day.
After a few days the squirrel’s tale began to grow and
became fluffy and the squirrel could stand up straight.
It then realized that the fruit were ‘’ magic ’’ .
The squirrel began to use its fluffy tail as an
‘’ umbrella ’’ to shade it from the hot sunlight and to shield it
from the rain. It also used its tail as a flag to communicate
with other squirrels.
This was fantastic for all the squirrels family.
The squirrels decided to save the fruit and the tall tree so
they planted some of the magic fruit so neq trees can
grow.
This way all the squirrels would be able to eat the
‘’ magic ‘’ fruit and have long bushy tails for many years
to come.
