Question 5. Read the information and do the specified task.

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful forest. There lived two trees, named Chintu
and Pintu, who were brothers. Chintu and Pintu had many friends like the rabbit and his
brothers, the group of monkeys, the family of birds, the Bunky bear and the wise old wolf.
One day, all the friends were chatting. Suddenly Pintu saw a woodcutter coming
toward the forest. Pintu said “Hey, look! A woodcutter is coming towards the forest! Run!
Run!” Chintu said to the animals. But no one ran. They said “You give us food, shelter, you
give us fresh air to breathe. How can we leave you in danger and go?” Chintu and Pintu
thanked them. “OK, you all hide behind us,” said the two brother trees. So, the monkeys
and the birds hid inside the leaves of the tree, and the other animals hid behind the tree.
The woodcutter was very confused because there were many trees to cut. Suddenly he
saw Chintu and Pintu, the huge trees. He said: “Be ready to be cut, you trees.” The wise old
wolf had already told his plan to the animals. When the woodcutter came near the trees,
the group of monkeys jumped on him and started imitating him, then the family of birds
started pecking him, then the rabbit and his brothers started jumping around him and the
Bunky bear started roaring.
When all animals were busy at their work, the wise old wolf ran to the lion king. The
wise old wolf told the king what he had to do. So, they ran to where all the animals were.
The king roared and the woodcutter ran for his life. Chintu and Pintu said: “Thank you.”
GP_ENGLISH Page 5 of 12 LESSON NOTE

Later, the woodcutter thought “I never thought that trees give animals so many things
like food, shelter, etc.” and decided not to cut trees.
Write in English (no more than 10 words) a slogan to encourage environment protection.
