There was a forest where tall trees stretched into the clouds and birds chirped merrily. The animals were happy, the trees were peaceful, the birds and flowers were cheerful.
One day a cry rose from the old poplar tree in this forest:
- Monsters are coming!
The dwarf trees looked at the poplar tree curiously:
- Who is coming, who is coming? they asked.

Not only the trees but also all the animals were afraid of the cry coming from the poplar tree.
The mother bird on the tree branch asked:
-Are they really monsters?. I am scared with my babies.
The monkey replied:
-I think they are monsters.We have to hide somewhere.
The rabbit running around the forest added:
-Let's run somewhere...
The lion,king of the forest,appeared and talked:
-Calm down,calm down, Listen!They aren't monsters.Someone is cutting down the trees. Let's give them a lesson.

The animals of the forest all joined in, and silently watched who was making noise.
They hid behind bushes and saw a group of woodcutters cutting down trees in the forest.
- What are we going to do? asked the curious mother bird.
- I know, let's build a trap to teach a lesson to those who destroy our habitat, said the lion king.

Then the animals in the forest decided to set a trap, as the lion said.
Rabbit said:
- I think they need a big network.

-"Help us please help us!"

The other said "Let's ask help from animals but how?"
At that moment the king of the forest,the lion came near them.

One of the woodcutters said :
- We will stop cutting trees, please help us and bring us out of this hole. We won't cut trees any more. You know the trees are the natural filters of the World. They provide us with oxygen, so please save our souls and preserve our forests. The lion was glad and said
- If you stop cutting trees and plant trees, I will forgive you.

The Wise Owl was ready to help the animals with a smart idea and a good advice:
- You should hurry and look for the Brave Beavers. They will help you with brunches to make a wooden ladder.
The animals found the Brave Beavers. It took them only ten minutes, and the ladder was ready. The Old Bear helped them carry the ladder. All the animals helped the woodcutters to come out of the trap.

As soon as woodcutters came out of the trap, they began to look for ways to put out the fire that threatened the forest. The animals informed them that at the edge of the forest there was a river. The woodcutters with whatever means they had, carried water and extinguished the outbreaks of fires. But that was not enough, so they asked for help of their friends, firefighters who arrived immediately. Within a short time the fired had been extinguished and everyone was relieved and happy. The forest has been saved.
