Once there was an old woman and her grand daughter named Clara. They lived in a town near a horrible forest. Clara's grand mother always told Clara not to go to the forest ever. But, she never listened to her and because of this she hated her grand mother. One night she went to the forest with her friend Emma. In the forest Emma heard some horrible sounds. She asked Clara if she heard any sound, Clara said "oh come on, it's just an animal".Emma said "I am too scared of wild animals". "I think it's time to go" Emma said to Clara. Clara said "Emma, you can go but, I am not coming and please tell my grandma that I am not coming". Emma run away from the forest and went to Clara's grand mother and narrated the whole story that had happned to them. Clara's grand mother got very angry with Clara and she went to the forest. There she saw that Clara was hunting the wild animals. She went to Clara and asked that what she was doing there. Clara replied with anger,"nothing". Her grand mother asked Clara that they should go. Clara said that she doesn't want to go. Her grand mother said "come on, it's not good to stay at forest till long". Clara said to her grand mother that she doesn't want to talk to her. Grand mother asked "but why my dear, what have I done to you?" Clara said "You don't let me come to my favorite place (forest) and you don't like when I am happy that's why I hate you". "Oh come on dear, I care for you and I don,t want you in any kind of trouble and why would I be unhappy when you are happy. You are my happiness, when you are happy I am happier". "So why don't you let me to come to the forest?" Clara said. "I care for you that's why, wild animals can harm us. So, we should always be safe from them". Clara said "That's why I was killing them, they cause harm to us". Her grand mother said "No no, killing is not the solution. Animals are also helpful to us in many ways as they keep our environment clean and clear and forests are their homes we should not ruin it. People come here and cut the plants and destroy the forest, this can affect the human beings as well as animal. So, we should save the forest and plant more trees instead of cutting them". Clara said "so, where can we play?" Her grand mother said "you can play in your own garden and their are also many parks in the town where you can play". "I am sorry grandma, I have really irritated you, and from now I will plant many trees and never come to forest to destroy and, I will always play in park" Clara said. Her grand mother said "It's ok dear, come on now let's go".
THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER
