Story Summary

The story of animals working together to put out a forest fire.

In a large forest in Russia, there live many lovely little animals. There are clever foxes, strong brown bears, nimble squirrels, and kind - hearted rabbits, etc. This forest has always been their happy home, where they play, look for food, and lead a peaceful life.

One day, a terrible big fire suddenly spread in the forest. The fire burned the trees, with thick smoke billowing and the flames reaching the sky. The little animals were all frightened. They knew that if they didn't put out the fire quickly, their home would be completely destroyed.

The animals sit around to discuss

The fox was the first to stand up and said, "We can't just watch our home be burned down by the big fire. We should figure out a way to put out the fire together." The other little animals nodded in agreement one after another. So, they sat around together and began to discuss the plan to put out the fire. The brown bear was very strong, and it said it could go to the river and use water buckets made of big tree trunks to carry water to put out the fire; the squirrel was very agile in the trees, and it said it could observe the fire situation in the trees and send messages to everyone in time; the rabbit was small in size, but it said it could dig fire - prevention ditches together with other little animals to prevent the fire from spreading.

After they had made the plan, they immediately took action. The brown bear carried water from the river again and again. Although it was panting with exhaustion, it didn't stop for a moment. The squirrel jumped around in the trees, shouting loudly about where the fire was the fiercest. The rabbit and other little animals dug the fire - prevention ditches desperately.

Everyone works together to put out the fire

The fox was not idle either. It used its wisdom to direct everyone. It let some little animals make simple brooms with branches to beat out small flames. With everyone's concerted efforts, the fire gradually became smaller. However, the fire was still very fierce, and there were some places that were very difficult for the little animals to approach.

At this time, a passing wild goose saw the efforts of the little animals and was very touched. The wild goose shouted loudly, "I can go and call my partners to come and help. We can sprinkle water from the air to put out the fire." The little animals were very happy to hear that. Soon, the wild goose brought a group of partners flying over. They sprinkled strings of water from the air, just like a timely rain.

The forest regains its vitality

After everyone's long - term efforts, the big fire was finally put out. There were traces of being burned everywhere in the forest, all black. But the little animals were not discouraged. They began to rebuild their home. With everyone's efforts, the forest slowly regained its vitality. The trees grew new branches and leaves again, the flowers bloomed once more, and the grass became even greener. The little animals' home became beautiful and full of vitality again. Since then, the little animals cherish this forest more, and they also understand that the power of unity is infinite.
