Summary
When the river that gave life to the forest suddenly disappeared, six unlikely friends set out on a journey to uncover the truth and save their home. Scene 1: One sunny day, the animals of the forest discovered that the river, which had always been their source of water, had mysteriously dried up. Scene 2: The animals gathered in a circle under the great oak tree to discuss the problem and come up with a plan. Tobby: “We must follow the riverbed to find where the water stopped flowing.” Scene 3: Sophie shouted: “Look at these footprints! They’re so big and strange. Who did they belong to?” Shadowclaw: “Something—or someone—blocked the river. Let’s keep going and find out.” Scene 4: After following the footprints, the animals stumbled upon a large dam made of logs and stones, completely blocking the river’s flow. Finn pointed to the river: “Look! A dam! That’s why the river dried up.” Olive: “Someone built this here, but who would do such a thing?” Scene 5: Behind the dam, they found Benny, a giant rabbit, sitting proudly, unaware of the harm he caused to the forest. Scene 6: The animals decided to work together to break the dam and restore the river to its natural flow. Shadowclaw: “Let’s push these logs together! We need to let the water flow.” Tobby: “I may have been slow, but I was strong. Let’s do this step by step.” Scene 7: Finally, the water flowed back into the forest, bringing life and happiness to the animals once again. Benny: “I’m so sorry, friends. I didn’t know I was hurting everyone. I’ll never be selfish again.” Finn: “Teamwork saved the forest! Let’s all share and care for our home together.”
