Trees are very useful to man.
Besides giving many conveniences, trees support the life of living things. They
replace oxygen which is constantly used up and changed into carbon dioxide in
breathing and burning. The green leaves of trees absorb carbon dioxide and
break it up into carbon and oxygen. Trees help in preventing drought and
floods. Unfortunately, man has failed to realize this advantage of trees. In
his eagerness to get quick profit from the trees, man has cut them down in
large numbers. Man has thus lost the best friends he had. Two thousand years
ago, a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships and
gained an empire. It gained the empire but without its trees, its soil became
poor. When the empire fell to pieces the home country found itself faced with
floods and starvation. More and more trees, therefore, should be planted by all
of us so that the earth becomes a better place to live in.
