Neighbours’ Troubles

Once upon a time there was a beautiful forest where animals and trees lived in harmony until the day the beavers arrived there. The problem was that they were not ordinary beavers. They were “street beavers”. They gnawed and cut the trees, vandalized the homes of the other animals and robbed their food. They were unpleasant, crank and selfish, because they only cared about themselves. The beavers arrived and they were not planning to leave so soon, since they were setting up a plan to take over the river and dominate the area so that it could became their restricted territory, trying to “kick out” all other animals.
One day, the animals gathered and decided to rebel against the beavers in order to make them understand that they were acting badly. But the beavers didn’t care and didn’t listen to them. And they continued to cause damage and more damage in the forest. Of course, sooner or later all this harm had to “annoy” Mother Nature, and that had consequences: on a cloudy morning, everyone could hear thundering as they had never heard before and watch the rain falling as they had never seen before. A storm was approaching. It lasted two whole days. Several animals died because they had no more resources, which they needed to survive, as well as the beavers, who now realized that they had abused the good will of Mother Nature and had affected all others. Sorry was not enough.
