THE WOODCUTTERS AND THE SAL TREE

THE WOODCUTTERS AND THE SAL TREE - MORAL STORY

The trees in the forest had a deep discussion. "All birds build their nest on us and make us dirty with their excretions," complained the Fir tree. "It is true," accepted all trees in unison. "Not to say only that, even animals climb on us making scratches all over our trunk. This really stinks.

We have to drive away all," added the Sal tree. A wise banyan tree opposed, "Look friends, life is interdependent. We need them for our safety and life. We should not chase them away." No other tree listened. The trees in the forest decided to chase away all birds and animals. The next day morning all trees shook so violently that the birds and animals who were resting both on the trees and beneath the trees fled away in fear.

The trees were very happy. "We are free now," hooted them. A few woodcutters came that way. They saw the big Sal tree and said, "At last, we are free to cut this tree. Till now there were many wild animals and birds living here. We were afraid to come here.

Now that there are no animals and birds, we can do our work." The woodcutters felled the tree and cut it into pieces. The other trees could do nothing but watch in despair. "Look, this is why I told you not to chase away the birds and animals. They are our helpers and protectors," emphasised the banyan tree.

So Pintu decided to pull out the wedge and see what happened. In his anxiety, Pintu did not notice that he was sitting across the log and that his tail was wagering in the split of the log.
