In the mountains by the river, there was a poor village. People in the village worked very hard for money. They were too busy to reuse their rubbish or put it in a suitable place. So the village became dirtier and dirtier.
After years, animals and trees were disappearing. People worked harder but made less money. They couldn’t drink the water from the river, and rain was washing away the land.
At the meeting of the village, some said they should move outside. At this time, Tom preferred to stay. “Our village is a good place for me. My grandpa chose to settle down here. I believe it is a beautiful heaven. So I suggest we should plant trees and clean up the rubbish,” “But there is too much for you to do,” Others answered. “I will start tomorrow,” The next day, he planted trees with the eyes of his neighbors. No one believed he could change the situation.
Years later a photographer walked by and found a forest stood beside the river. “I am certain that there were no trees here years ago. It is fantastic. Where did it come from.” And then he walked up to find Tom and had an interview with Tom. After a few days, a report could be seen in the newspaper. “The forest became lively because deer and birds set their homes here. But the forest got harder to protect after it got bigger. The animals may be caught by poachers(偷猎者). Some bad guys would destroy the forest for economic reasons,” Tom said.
After that, the government sent officers to look around the forest twice a week, and some people came to help Tom.
