THE MANGO TREE AND THE FIG TREE

The mango tree and the fig tee in the forest were friends. They
talked all day long. Evey night the lions and tigers would come to sleep
under them. The mango tree did not like the animals. 'I shall drive them
away,' he said. They roar loudly and they smell bad.' The fig tree said,
'Don't do that. We need each other. We must live together.'
But the mango tree did not listen. That night, the mango tree shook
his branches and made loud noise. The animals thought it was a demon
and they ran away. The mango tree was happy. The next evening
two wood cutters came to the forest. They saw the big mango tree.
'There are no wild animals here. So let's cut this tree,' one said.
They began cutting the mango tree.'I told you,' said the fig tree sadly.
'We need the animals and they need us. If we do not help each other, we
can get hurt.'
