A DREAM WITH A REALITY - Imaginary Talking Trees
A DREAM WITH A REALITY /
WAS IT A WARNING DRAEM? /
TREES ENDANGERED!?
It was the eve of Christmas
and I had a great day. I reached my comfy bed and dived into it. I closed my
eyes thinking about my new green tasty plant friends I had planted the previous
day. I wish there was some way in which they could speak to me. I wanted to
listen to their voices which I believed would be as sweet as their fruits.
I wanted to listen to their
daily problems and what they had as an impression on me. In fact, I always imagined
what would happen if trees were capable of talking and walking just like us,
humans. Well, I was sure there couldn’t be any big problem, just a bit more noise pollution, and traffic.
The next morning, I woke up
with sleepy eyes, a smirk smile with messed up hair. As usual, I went near my
window and peered into my garden, but what I saw was something unbelievable!
My garden which was supposed to be filled with
green trees and plants had turned into a large dense forest! The garden that
was supposed to be a peaceful and quiet area where you could calm your brain by
its smoothing silence had become a garden with large green trees and plants
shouting out of their stems in our human language! If you would have entered
this garden, I am sure you would have fainted with amusement.
I stayed calm and went
outside to see what was happening. Yes, it was true! My cute little garden had
converted itself into a dark, deep, dense forest! Even my neighborhood was
eaten up by this weird sudden appeared forest. After walking for a while,
finally saw the plants and trees that I had planted. But they were so different!
The trees had grown a bit too
tall and thick but the most astonishing thing was that they had a face!! They
had eyes, a nose, and also a wrinkled mouth! So this is how they were all
talking.
When I
entered their territory, there was a sudden silence. But after a second, they
started shouting in the debate again. I needed to do something to gain their
attention. There was only one way, I quickly bought some water and sprinkled it
on them. It almost took me an hour to sprinkle all the trees and plants over there.
After having a tiny shower, I requested them
to speak softly. As soon as I requested them, one of the old trees slowly took
me in their branches and offered me a fruit. Then I asked the trees about how
my tiny tiny sweet peaceful garden had transformed into a jungle looking vaster
than the Amazon!? They told me that the trees and plants in my garden had moved
to another place where all the trees were having a meeting. So, my house was
also teleported.
Later, When I asked them the
reason of their noise, one of them – the mango tree told me that trees had
special instincts by which they used to communicate with other trees of the
planet. By their last conversation, they
found out that there were many tree friends cut and dead on this planet. They
were upset and crying for each other. Such acts of us humans always made these
poor trees angry and desperate to revenge.
I was so moved by their
story. It almost had me in tears. I did not understand how someone could
forget the circle of life. I promised the trees and plants that I would always
be against these actions. I requested them to have some faith and patience and
told them that saving plants was one of the main reasons for me wanting to
become the future Prime Minister.
I hope that this beauty would
never be seized by anyone on this planet or in the universe. I have both, the
rights and the courage to fight against this because I know I will not be
alone. I know I have almost one-fourth of the green land on earth supporting
me.
Hearing this, the trees burst
in to shower of colorful flowers which included mouth-watering fruits too. I
twirled and sang with them, jumping over the branches like I was a lovely bird.
I was so enchanted by this view that I fell inside the bundle of fruits and
closed my eyes with happiness and joy.
The next time when I opened
my eyes was in my bed! How strange! So, was it a dream? Or was it real? But I noticed
a fruit and a flower in my hand. How did the fruit come in my hand? Though
wrapped up with these questions, I did not care; I just went outside, saw my
garden, and just hugged each tree I found.
Message: Please stop cutting down trees. This time, I saved
you, but next time I won’t be able to. So let there be no next time!
Let's plant more trees and save nature
