When you are breathing dirty air, the trees will do this (shake their leaves) and ask you to come and say “we will take your dirty air and give you fresh air”
And then you chop it down
When you are wanting shade, the trees will do this and ask you to come “and we will shade you from the hot sun”
And then you chop it down
When the seasons come, the trees blossom and give fruit to feed you.
And then you chop it down
