Unity is Strength

There was a beautiful forest, where several animals and birds lived in harmony.
One day a human from a nearby village came to the woods and started cutting down the trees. The animals were confused and didn'tknow what to do;they ignored it. A few days later, more people started coming to the woods and started destroying the forests.
Many animals and birds lost their shelter, food and their children.This brutality kept on increasing.
The animals couldn't condone more; They gathered all together in the forest for finding a solution. A wise elephant who was oldest among the herd suggested that everyone should stand against them together with unity; unity gives the strength to defeat the stronger enemy without becoming weaker.
The animals concurred with the elephant, and they all protested valiantly to gether against the village people. The village people were frightened to see all the animals united against them, returning to the village was the only recourse, and they never came back to the forest.
