There was a small village near the mountain. There were a lot of trees in the mountain. People in the 1 always got something from it, such as animals and trees. When they wanted to 2 a house, they cut down the trees. And they also killed the animals for 3 . Trees were very 4 in their daily life. They made tables, chairs 5 beds by cutting down the trees. In addition, when they 6 meals, they still used some trees for wood. However, they only cut down trees but 7planted new trees. So the trees were fewer and fewer; the animals were becoming 8 as well.
One summer, it rained 9in the village. The rain lasted for about a week. The soil(土壤)and the stones on the mountain fell down and soon 10 the whole village. They finally knew they should not only cut down trees but also needed to protect them.
