birds.

Everything in the town changed, chickens, sheep and cows are dead. New kinds of sickness

among people are causing sudden and unexplained deaths, children are dying while

and landscapes are lined with brown. Anglers no longer visit the streams since all the fishes

are dead.

 2. A Squirrel in a Razed Forest.

It was a beautiful day plenty of sunshine in the forest, some animals were using the

tall trees for shelter and hide from their predators, while others were using them as a source

of food. Many animals were competing for food, others were using camouflage to survive,

the naughtier Tom and Candy, the little monkeys were playing between the treetops, they

were excitedly. The small squirrel called Tammy was happy foraging for food and water,

she was a smart squirrel that loved the forest. Everything was perfect, the pure air, clean

streams, amazing sounds of birds singing, and leaves rustling, it was a perfect place for

animals to live in.

Everything was enjoyable in the forest, but one morning Tammy the squirrel was

concerned because she noticed that suddenly in the forest appeared humans, they were

using machines and were coming and going in a hurry. Tammy asked the little monkeys if

they knew what was going on, but they were afraid and run away. The squirrel noticed that

all the other animals also were fleding because humans were cutting trees down and

additionally, the noise and smoke were unbearable for the poor creatures. Tammy was sad

and didn't know what to do, after a short while, she realized that almost all the wild

animals left, she had not more food, humans destroyed her house and everything around
was desolated, humans removed large areas of trees , so the forest was razed and the

squirrel disappeared as well.

Finally, with the purposeful clearing of the forest nowadays there is space for

agriculture and animal grazing, humans obtained wood for fuel, manufacturing, and

construction, but on the other hand, a lot of wild animals disappeared, other lost their

habitat. The future will be difficult and dark, especially for human beings, since with plants

and wild animal species extinct, there will be global warming, floods and drought, also soil

erosion.
