"..

There was a day in that green forest summer seemed to be forever..

The stream went dry, leaves became ashes, and every flower lose their life even before they turned to a bud.

Hunger made the animals to migrate, and they migrate together..

All of them set off on a journey seeking a fertile land..

They travelled for hundreds of miles, for days...

Snails and Turtles were pulled along by Buffaloes in strong leaves and hollow woods.

Rabbits and Deers were protected from outside threat by Lions and Tigers as the jungle unstated rule was to help each other in the time of danger.

Birds lead the way from up, Elephants pave the way,

Snakes warned about the collapsible earth,

Crocodiles helped them cross the rivers..

Fate was tough, life was worst..

In that long long journey they had had to endure above their limits, and some died from that miserable some died from hunger, some from sickness, and some, from the miserable heart..

But even though, they never harm each other.

Finally at their most intolerable days, they came to a land, where green everywhere, streams seems to emerge from the roots of some delicious fruit trees and the water was heavenly..

There was food for everyone.. And there were plenty.

So plenty that it will take them for generations..

Animals preserved their heavenly land, changing nothing, took whatever they needed to live and cared not to exploit their resources, for they knew, what it is without that.

And they taught their children to preserve their heavenly land and always told them about what they endured and how they went through..

Days went, years passed by, younger generations came..

They have been told about the older days too..

But stories are just stories, unless you live in it.

The abundant food and comfort  made the children think it will be forever, and the luxury they have now will last forever.

When the kids became full, they played with their food.

Monkeys used the bananas to throw each other.

Deer ruined the mud when they finish with the meadow..

Bees eaten up and tear up the flowers when they finish with honey..

Elephants played inside the sugarcane bunches.. And Ruined almost all...

Fishes were all eaten up and then beaten up, just for fun and not for hunger..

Some days the recycling of Mother Nature was good enough,  but not up to the limitless foolishness of poor minded creatures..

All said "live this moment", and everybody did exactly the same. They lived for themselves selfishly..

They lived like they believed everyone of them gonna die exactly tomorrow!

Nobody thought what if they lived for some more years..

If they didn't believed in tomorrow, how will they believe in toady? Or even the next moment?

If you don't believe in tomorrow, you don't have today.

All was a mess, nobody respected nobody or anything, even the ancestors picturized as fools and idiots..

And Mother Nature..

Before the ancestors served her like a queen. But, for the newer generation She was mere a servant.

Nobody cared what their children or grandchildren will do..

.. and nobody lived for someone else. They didn't cared about even a thought of their grand children.

The streams gradually died as the roots were ruined.. And the mud dried up as there is no grass to hold the moist..

The mist disappeared in the mornings..

So the breeze and rain..

And the cycle once again reached the point..

There was a day in that green forest summer seemed to be forever..
