THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND
Once upon a time a huge asteroid crashed into the Pacific ocean. When years passed the asteroid became an Island. No one knew about the island because the island was protected with huge cyclones. One fine day a fisherman went to the ocean to fish. A giant wave took him to the island. He crashed on the island and became unconscious. When he opened his eyes he saw that his boat was totally destroyed. He looked around and shouted "anybody there". He didn't get any answer. The Sun was going to set. He started to walk on the island. He saw different types of animals and birds, he had never seen in his life. He started to look for a shelter and finally he found a cave and he stayed there. He was trying to escape the whole time. One day he saw a golden mysterious tree at the middle of the island. He took a leaf from the tree. While he was looking at the leaf, a bird dropped dead before him. He plucked an another leaf. A squirrel that was running on the tree died. But he did not stop there. He thought that he will pluck all the golden leaves and make a fortune for himself when he go back home. He kept on plucking leaves and all animals and birds died one by one. Atlast only one leaf remained and the fisherman was the only one alive. Overwhelmed with joy for his luck he plucked the last leaf. He felt breathless. He felt tired. He realised that he was dying. The fisherman realised that there is a relation between the tree and lives on the island. That tree is the source of life. Then he saw a fruit on the tree. He plucked it and buried it in the earth. A small plant sprout from the fruit. And at that moment the fisherman felt better. He pledged never to harm any trees ever again.</ br > |
