Whimsical Decision of a King

Once there lived a King in an island. There were green trees everywhere in the island. The King decided to build a magnificent palace in the island. So he ordered his men to cut down all the trees. Some opposed the King's idea but he did not pay heed to their opposition.

So people were compelled to carry out the king's order. They cut down all the trees. As a result, a great change to place in the climate of the island and the atmosphere rapidly turned hostile. The temperature increased rapidly. Extreme heat of the suns made soil crack. It eventually led to draught. Other disaster also started to visit the island. People could not grow crops. So there broke out a famine. As a result, many people had to starve to death. Others became rickety and pale.

At these the king realized his misdeed. He ordered his people to plant plenty of trees in the entire island. He felt repent for his wrong doing. But it was too late. It took to a long time to reinstall everything in proper order.
