Morals for Children and Young
Story no. 49: Trees of the street
Fariedoon, whenever passed his street, would pull and break the branches
of the trees or skin them.
One day, Shahid was watching this scene from far.
He said to Fariedoon “Do you know of what use these trees are for?”
He replied “No”.
Shahid said “We humans have a great need of oxygen which we should
inhale. This oxygen is given out from plants and trees. We have a job of
giving water to the trees so that they do not dry up. This water is
taken in by their branches. We, humans take in food and then it reaches
different parts of our body through blood vessels. The tree has some
substance which does the same job as our blood vessels. These blood
vessels are contained in it’s skin. And you are, instead of giving water
to it, breaking it’s branches and skinning it”. Fariedoon said “Thank
you very much for telling me, I did not know that”.
