you”.

 Sam with a nervous voice says, “I was only getting something I thought  was left by someone I did not know it was yours.”

“It’s ok, who are you? Where do you live? Where do you come from?

 What are you doing in this tree?”

“Sam tells her to slow down, one question at a time please.”

“Sorry sue says looking at him intensely thinking, he’s so small.”

“He answers by saying that his name is Sam he's hundreds of years old and that he’s lived in this tree all of his life and likes it very much.”

 

Mike is running around frantically waving his arms in the air, due to this ball hanging from a branch, he didn’t realize after whacking it with a stick it was full of wasps. And from the number of them that were annoyed grouping together and vigorously defending their nest aiming for Mike, he would soon get his just dessert. He did not know this then, but soon notices that there are many wasps flying round him.

He quickly runs away from the nest still waving his arms frantically to fend of the wasps, shouts!” Sue! Sue! Help! I’m being attacked by wasps,” running towards Sue, Sam sees him and quickly vanishes down his hole out of sight, Sue stands up saying “How can I help you?

“What can I do?”

 Just then Mike gets stung on his neck, ouch! He shouts while rubbing his hand up and down his neck fast, “that stings like mad”.

“How did you manage to do that? Sue says.”

“Well I sort of whacked that ball over there with my stick and all these wasps came flying out, I think that’s why I got stung by one of them”, Sue laughs, “what you laughing at”?

 “You”! Sue says laughing her little head off, fancy being stung by wasps serves you right for whacking the nest. 

Mike thought that it was a good idea at the time.

Go and play and leave them wasps alone.”

“Ok I won’t be long”.

Sue looks round to see if she can see Sam, he’s nowhere in sight, so she walks up to the tree and looks at the hole, “Sam are you in there? Please come out, he has gone now.”

 Listening to what Sue is saying Sam decides to come out, he pops his head out of the hole, “hello! Here I am, I could not let your brother see me, so I hid back in my tree”.

 “That's ok, you don’t want to know him anyhow, he’s just a little boy that likes destroying things it serves him right he got a stung on his neck. Maybe next time he will think before he goes about destroying wasp’s nests created by those little things, he does not realize how long and how much work goes into creating something so marvelous, and made by so many little creatures.

 Each creature has been put on this earth to serve its purpose and upsetting the balance of nature has its affects on the entire planet”.

Sam says, “I didn’t know you young children knew so much about the planet”.

 “Yes we do. I think more children should learn about the creatures, and what role they play in keeping this earth together. It’s really nice and very interesting when you read about all the creatures, and how they survived through to this day. You would be surprised by the pictures of each animal, where they live, and how they go about their daily tasks”.

 “Sounds very interesting, I agree with you, children should learn more about the animals that live around us because humans are taking their land away and threatening their very existence.”

 

“Sam, why do you live in this tree? Asks sue.”

 “ I have lived in this tree for many years with my people, it’s a magical tree and it’s our home, anyone trying to destroy the forest has been stopped by the trees powers, it has power you could never imagine. It does things even I don’t believe and the tree has helpers, but the evil wizard of the wood has captured them and took them underground to work for him.”

 No!

Says sue, but can  the magical tree do something about that she asks?”

“No the tree has magical powers but the wizard has his powers too, and he has them far under the ground, where the powers of the tree can not reach.”

 “Can we do something? Says Sue?”

“Well! We could try if you are willing to come into the tree with me?”
