Once upon a time, there was a boy playing with the butterflies. He started chasing them and suddenly, he fell into a hole. The hole was so deep that he went down and down and down. He was shouting and then he fell on the ground. He stood up and cleaned himself but when he saw up he was very surprised.
The world was not same as it was. He started running towards home. On the way, he saw that instead of woods, the houses were made of human skull. There was a farm outside which, there were many humans kept in a cage. Suddenly, he saw a pig coming with a knife and was about to cut a man. Chickens were chasing the babies to roast. The boy ran away from there. He then saw a tree, going in a shop to buy skin of humans to make books, clothes, and furs. He was terrified. All of a sudden, he felt a huge shadow behind him and when he turned around, he saw a tree standing with a peeler. He shouted, “Who are you? Where am I? Please help me to leave.”
The reply tree gave left the boy surprised. He told him, “you are in a parallel world boy. We had a world up there but you humans took over it as it was only your home. But we used to live there too. You humans used us and didn’t care about us. So, we decided that we will leave from there and make a whole new world here. Then only you people will realise that you can’t survive without us and may be then you will learn to NURTURE the NATURE. Till then, all the humans will live the same life here which we were living there.”
It then brought the peeler closer to the boy. He shouted,” Save Humans! Save Humans!” and felt a hand over his head. It was his mother who was waking him up. The boy had realised that if we will destroy nature, nature will destroy us too. He decided that after quarantine, when he will meet his friends, he will tell them about his dream and ask them to SAVE NATURE, SAVE HUMANITY.
