Story, The Earth’s Call, amid Earth’s splendor, human ambition disrupted harmony through tearful eyes, Earth shows a vision: a verdant world hidden by progress. Our duty is to restore her green embrace and concert to heal the planet.
Tiny droplets of dew had spread across the grassy field in all directions. The gentle breeze would caress the lush green grass, making some drops slide and land on different blades of grass. The first rays of the sun had turned these dewdrops into glistening pearls. It seemed as if nature had woven countless diamonds onto the verdant fabric of the Earth today. Observing her own beauty, the Earth blushed as if unaware of the transformation she had undergone.
Birds sang joyfully, hopping among the vibrant and colorful flowers. They moved from one bloom to another, creating a harmonious melody that resonated through the air. The soft cooing of the cuckoo blended sweetness into the atmosphere. The Earth was so happy today as if she had received an extraordinary gift.
Who is this Earth?
Oh, it’s our Earth, our very own planet. Terra, Soil, Ground, Land, Mother Earth, or Gaia countless names adorn her.
In this ambiance, a human being ventured forth, stepping into the embrace of Earth’s golden weather. Earth welcomed this newcomer along with all other creatures, providing a place for him in her lap. The Earth covered the human with her protective veil, allowing him to rest.
From the next day onwards, the human’s desires started growing. He said, “I want to build a home, I get wet in the rain and feel the sun’s heat.” Earth assigned him a corner in the forest. He cut down trees and built a shelter for himself. The human formed a family and began living his days.
One day, he declared to Earth, “I’ve grown tired of eating fruits. I want to cultivate crops by farming.” Earth listened to her son’s words and granted his wish. Now, a settlement had sprung up, a human village within the forest. Together, they cleared the jungle, establishing homes and fields. Mother Earth silently observed all of this.
Gradually, the human’s ambitions expanded. He said, “I’ve had enough of eating fruits. I want to grow grains by farming.” Earth complied once again. The human family grew, and the village transformed into a small town. They cleared more of the forest and established factories. The animals and birds of the jungle were disturbed. Many creatures started dying due to a lack of food and water. The balance of nature was disrupted. The human surrounded himself with concrete jungles. Houses, factories, warehouses—everything emerged.
One day, Mother Earth approached the human. Today, she was draped in a dark cement-colored veil. Her eyes were filled with tears that refused to stop.
She said to the human, “My child, I have come with a pair of glasses for you today.”
The human responded indifferently, “Why would I need glasses?”
Earth continued, “Put them on and take a look. Before you wear them, close your eyes and remember how I was when you first came to me.”
The human put on the glasses and closed his eyes, and a lush green field appeared before him. He felt the cool breeze and saw dewdrops, animals, and birds—all of it was so beautiful. When he opened his eyes with the glasses on, he saw that Earth was wearing a dark, cement-colored veil today. Her face was downcast, tears were rolling down.
She said to human (her child), “Bring back my green veil.”
With these words, she left.
The echo of the mother’s call kept ringing in the human’s ears. He looked at the jungle he had created beyond the glasses. Where there were houses, factories, warehouses, and concrete structures, now he saw the lush green expanse that he had cleared. This is the Earth’s Call to humankind.
Moral of the Story: It’s our responsibility to bring back Mother Earth’s green veil means we should make our earth green again. This duty is not someone else’s; it’s solely and entirely ours.
