The tree tells man,
Why do you cut me down,
Says man to the tree,
I cut you for my need.
I use your wood
as furniture or firewood,
I use the space you grew upon
for building up something concrete.
In return for all this
what do I get!
Lots of money
to make my living comfortable.
Says the tree,
I have heard what you have said.
Now you listen
to what I have to say.
I am your living partner on this earth
to make your life eco-friendly.
My roots hold the soil
which stops soil erosion.
So you are saved
from terrifying flood and soil degradation.
With this my living with you does not end
for I have lots more to tell.
I suck in all the carbon dioxide
and give you oxygen which is your life.
My branches and leaves give you shade
my fruit you eat for its taste.
My presence all around the world
maintains a balance of a pleasant atmosphere around.
When I am dead on my own,
you can then use me as your own.
So don't kill me before I am dead
for I am your partner and friend
So come let us live together,
and be happy and healthy in this worldly gather.
