Thanks to the forest guards, the forest dwellers lived happily, peacefully and peacefully.
But one day, the forest's peace was shattered by a strange wind, bringing with it an unknown smell—a mixture of smoke and metal. The forest rangers, wise beings connected to nature, sensed that something was wrong.
The animals also heard the wind and hid under the trees. Then the youngest guard, a forest child with big green eyes, said, "Don't worry, we'll ask Mother Nature for help."
With these reassuring words, the forest dwellers breathed a deep sigh of relief. As peace gradually returned, the forest rangers decided to investigate the cause of the wind. Together, they set off deeper into the forest.
As they continued deeper into the forest, they came to an old Oak tree. Its branches were swaying slowly, as if greeting the Guardians. The tree said in a muffled voice, "I am worried! A creature has broken the laws of the Forest!"
The forest keepers asked the oak tree what these creatures looked like. The oak tree replied: They did not look like humans. They had small eyes, green skin, large ears, and deep voices.

One of the guardians listened to some wolves barking, so she went there. She saw a shadow in a tree.






This shadow was telling them with a quiet and calm voice that there would be a miraculous island before them.
The forest rangers' little helpers live on this island!
The shadow disappeared and so did their fear.
Now children are happy to do what they know, sing songs and play in the forest.
The morning sun was slowly filtering through the forest. Leaves were swaying in the wind, children were playing hide-and-seek and laughing. They were looking in the direction of the sound.
What
Çınar approached the place where the sound came from and found a shining seed on the ground.The voice of Mother Nature was heard:“This seed is the heart of the forest. Protect it, and the forest will protect you.”Çınar planted the seed in the soil.
A gentle breeze blew, and the forest filled with light once again.
As the days passed, a small sprout emerged from the spot where Çınar had planted the seed. Every morning, the animals of the forest gathered around it to watch it grow stronger. One day, the sprout began to glow softly, and the forest seemed more vibrant than ever. Çınar smiled, realizing that he had helped bring new life and hope to the forest.
One morning, Çınar and the animals gathered around a bright sprout to eat fruit. "What was that?" They all stared in amazement at the sprout.
The small sapling grew into a plane tree. The leaves dancing with the wind began to shed seeds to the ground.
Then some birds sat on the branches of the plane tree and they song and talked. Cinar and same animals (rabbit, fox, hedgehog) gatherd under the tree.


The plane tree was so beautiful and birds had their nests there and they felt safe. The tree gave oxygene and shadow to people and animals. Then Cinar had an idea. He wanted to plant a seed, so a new same tree will grow.
So Cinar dug a tine hole in the soft soil and put the seed inside. Everyday he gave it water and whispered "Grow little tree, don't be afraid". And the birds watched happily, waiting for a new home to come.

Days passed, and the seed began to grow and emerge. One day, Cinar saw something green, small and fragile, emerging from the light. - You did it! he said with wide eyes of joy.
And so, after the storm subsided and the light returned to the heart of the forest, the guardians gathered again under the old tree. The bear brought honey, the fairy lit the fireflies, the fox told jokes, and the old guardian smiled contentedly.
The leaves began to sing, the wind whispered new stories, and the whole forest breathed a sigh of relief. Since then, every corner of it has shone with life and friendship again.
And the guardians of the forest lived happily, always guarding the secret of nature.
