In a beautiful large forest, there lives a lovely little squirrel. This little squirrel is all furry, and its tail is like a big broom. The little squirrel's home is on a tall pine tree. There is a small tree hole on the tree, and that is its warm home. The trees in the forest are lush and green. The sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, forming golden patches. There are all kinds of small animals here, and all of them live happily. Every day, the little squirrel runs around in the forest, looking for delicious pinecones. It jumps among the branches like a nimble little elf.
One day, the little squirrel went out to look for pinecones as usual. But suddenly, it found that a patch of trees in the forest had been cut down. Trunks were lying around in disorder on the ground. The little squirrel's friends were all gathered there, with their faces full of horror and sadness. The little squirrel ran to a big tree that had been cut down and gently stroked the trunk with its little paws, with tears glistening in its eyes. It remembered the days when it used to play on this tree and felt very sad. The small animals were all very worried and didn't know what to do in the future. The forest was no longer as vibrant as before, and a sad atmosphere pervaded everywhere.
The little squirrel knew that it couldn't just watch the forest being destroyed. So it decided to call together all the small animals in the forest to discuss a solution. Thus, on an open space in the forest, all the small animals gathered together. There was the clever fox, the honest little bear, and the lively little rabbit, etc. The little squirrel stood on a big rock and said loudly, "Friends, our forest is being destroyed. If we don't do something, we will lose our homes." The small animals nodded one after another in agreement. Everyone began to discuss animatedly. Some said they would stop those who cut down the trees, and some said they would plant trees again. Although everyone's ideas were a little different, all were full of the determination to protect the forest.
Finally, the small animals decided to start with planting trees. The little squirrel led everyone to find some saplings. Then the small animals began to divide the work and cooperate. The little squirrel was in charge of making marks on the trees to tell everyone where it was suitable to plant trees. The little bear was strong, so it was in charge of digging holes. The little rabbit and the little fox carefully put the saplings into the holes, and then filled the soil and watered them. The other small animals were not idle either. Some helped carry tools, and some helped guard the saplings. Everyone was very busy, but their faces were full of hopeful smiles.
Thanks to the efforts of the small animals, the saplings grew up day by day. The forest slowly began to regain its vitality again. The trees became more lush, and new flowers bloomed. The small animals could play happily in the forest again. The little squirrel's home also became safe and warm again. Standing on the tree, the little squirrel looked at the beautiful forest, full of gratitude in its heart. It knew that as long as everyone united as one, they could protect their homes well. The forest was filled with laughter and joy again, and the lives of the small animals became more wonderful.
