There lived a few dozens of families in the village. Each family has a sharp hatchet. Whoever wanted to build a house, they’d take the hatchet and go to the mountain, and then cut down the trees one by one. In this way, there appeared naked ground in the mountain.
One year after another, one generation after another, the trees on the mountain continuously reduce, the naked ground continuously increase…the trees turned into one house after another, became abundant furniture, all kinds of tools. Another trees, along with the chimney smokes coming from the roof, disappeared into the sky.
In any case, every family replying on their sharp hatchet, had been living a pretty good life.
Many years passed. In a rainy August, the rain has poured down for five days and nights without stop. That little village, also flooded away by the water to nowhere to be found.
Everything obtained by the hatchets were gone, including those sharp hatchets.
Homework:
