“Oh my god, it’s getting warmer and warmer these days!” whined Molly, the boar. “I agree with you, Molly! This is definitely the humans fault! Remember the tall and strong tree that gave use shelter, gave us home? It’s the humans! The humans! I even lost my home…” Ricky, the squirrel complained. They started talking about the past, about what all the animals in the forest used to have and how the environment in the past used to be like.

In the past, there were about five tall and strong old trees that provide all the animals in the forest with shade and shelter. The humongous trees gave the squirrels’ home, allow the birds to build nest and provided all flying animals to rest on their branches when they are tired. They prove shelter when it rains; they provide shade when the sun hits the animals. They helped the animals, provide the animals with all they can without moaning and whining. You can never hear them complain about their life.

Their nobility was appreciated much till the day the humans came and bring them away. The sounds of the vehicles dashing into the forest scared the animals away. The squirrels and birds could depict the whole incident clearly. Everything was flashing crystal clear in their mind. The men setup the instruments; one of them locked himself in the square area and pressed a button. It started to rise up high to the longest and thickest branch where the birds’ nest was. He took out a saw and started to chop the branch; the mother bird carried her children and started flying away. All the think branches were chopped within minutes.

Next, the man presses the button and lowered down, he unlocked himself. He took larger equipment; the shiny blades reflected the sun’s ray shining brightly. The man knocks it against the tree trunk. The tree was too stubborn and the man signal to another man who was already prepared waiting for command. He moved the machine forward, the blade connected to it was huge. This time, he did not use much strength, the trunk was chopped off. Before the trunk falls to the ground, the squirrels manage to run out of their house. This cycle repeats to all the other tall trees.

The animals lost their home and their shade in a blink of an eye, with the cause of humans. “This is how global temperature rises, causing global warming. It is all caused by the humans!” Chirpy, the bird chipped agitatedly. Years later, the trees were fully grown and the humans came again. This time, the animals worked together and they followed their plans that they made closely. This had become the last time the humans came. The animals were back to the past where everything was in place. 124 years later, global warming had stopped totally. The earth was saved.
