20 5 Once there lived a businessman. He always wanted to make more money.
He lived in a large house with his wife and son.
He had a neighbour who was richer than him. The neighbour had a golden statue in his garden. In his house, the tables, chairs, cupboards and bookcases were all made of gold too. The businessman was jealous of his neighbour so he decided to make more money.
One day when the businessman went hunting in the forest, he shot a rabbit. Suddenly the injured rabbit begged,
‘I’m a fairy. If you free me, I’ll grant you one wish.’
‘I want to turn everything I touch into gold,’ said the businessman.
‘No problem,’ said the rabbit, ‘but please think carefully. Don’t regret it.’
‘I won’t regret it!’ the businessman said loudly. Then the rabbit granted him the wish and disappeared. The businessman could not wait for a minute. He touched the tree next to him. It turned into gold at once. The businessman was shocked and could not believe it. Soon he rushed home and wished to tell his family the good news.
He ran as fast as a deer and arrived home. His wife and son came out to
welcome him. He went to hug them. Oh no! They were turned into gold. They could not move or speak. The businessman lost all his loved ones. He looked at them and could not say a word.

The sea is singing sadly, sadly.
Can you hear? Can you hear?
Sharks are caught for their fins.
Whales are killed for their meat.
How helpless these giants feel
When humans want to satisfy their greed.
The ice is crying loudly, loudly.
It is breaking and melting
Into the sea which is rising, rising.
Polar bears have nowhere to stand on, Nowhere they call home.
Can you feel their heartbreak?
Can you see their wounds we make?
All around the Earth Nature is calling for help.
