QUESTION 4
“ Who could have done this?” cried out Nazeem. They stared at the clearing in the forest.
There was a big black hole with huge burnt logs in it.
Moving back, Fikri almost fell over a tree stump. He spied a few more stumps up ahead. “
Goodness! I wonder who could have cut down the trees ? Don’t they care about this
200-year-old forest ?” he asked.
The others were speechless. The seven friends had been trekking to this part of the forest
every six months. Previously, selfish campers had been known to leave behind rubbish but
no one had done anything like this before.
They heard voices approaching. Amongst the local villagers was a man whom they knew.
Nazeem asked what had happened.
“ This is where the film-makers had set up their camp. They wanted to film soldiers spending
a night in the forest. They could not fit all their equipment here, so they chopped down the
trees to make space. We tried to stop them but they chased us away. They told us they had
permits to do anything they like,” he said.
He stopped to listen to the sound of screeching monkeys and then continued. “ Now the
authorities claim they don’t know anything about the permits. We hope this will never happen
again.. “
“ There must be something we can do ,” said Nazeem .”We need to tell people what
happened here so that it will never happen again.”
