It was a sunny day of summer, two beavers, Jack and Joe, were laying on the river and talking about their lives, and after talking a couple of hours, they realized that they can do more with the branches and wood sticks, not only dams, also big houses and playgrounds for their family. So they started to walk around the forest and they find out a lot of big trees, which they thought, that can be used as building material for their new place to live in. Because for the beavers is very important the comfort and the quietness. So they began this project by cutting a lot of trees, and at first they build their own house and one playground for both families, then they saw that there was a lot of remaining trees in the forest, so they started to cut more and more trees, and they created a little city, with 5 playgrounds and 3 houses, it was so great, the beavers were very happy and comfortable, because of that, they called another 3 pack of beavers that arrived and started to spread around the little city, then there was not enough space for all the beavers that were living there, so they wanted to make it bigger. By now their project was very advanced that they had cut a lot of trees to keep moving with the project. One morning, while they were building, a little bird came to tell the beavers that they were destroying their homes, and they were running out of food, and that some members of the little bird’s family were dying, while the little bird was talking with the beaver, a tired deer came running from the remaining woods and told the beavers that he lived in a forest very close to the city, and that because of all the things that they were building on the river, they were blocking the river’s stream, and because that river was the most important of the country, a lot of people started to die because they ran out of sweet water, and drought was rapidly spreading to the whole continent, the deer said that he also talked to a butterfly that came from Europe, and it said that the beavers from that continent got the same attitude and started to do the same thing, and they had drought too, and that the end of the world is going to happen because of the lack of care of the nature. The beavers didn’t though that things were getting really serious, and later they were also running out of food and water, so they were concerned, they didn’t know what to do, they didn’t want the end of the world come. A snail was passing and told them to plant trees, to recover the forest, and make a better change for nature. The beavers started to plant trees and respect the natures order so they saw difference for the others animals lives. They had to change their habits and see for others.
