SHARING AND CARING

SHARING AND CARING

           There were two friends in a forest, a mango tree and a banyan tree. They talked to each other all day long.

              Every night lions and tigers came and slept under them. The mango tree did not like the animals. "I will drive them away." He said, "They roar loudly and smell bad."

               The banyan tree said, "Don't do that. We need each other. We must live together." But the mango tree did not listen to him. That night the mango tree shook its branches and made loud noises. The animals thought it was a demon and they ran away. The mango tree was happy.

                 The next evening two wood cutters came to the forest. They saw the big mango tree. One of them said, "There is no wild animal here. So let's cut down this tree." They began to cut the mango tree.

                  "I told you we need the animals and they need us. If we do not help each other we can get hurt." Said the banyan tree.
