CHILD
OF THE
FUTURE |
|
The young girl awoke on a cool, inviting morning. It wasn't a school day, so she could look forward to doing what she liked best. Her family was going just outside the city into the great forest, where they would stroll under the tall trees, spot wild animals and wade in the clear-running streams.
Every time they went, she felt lucky. After all, her parents had told her stories about the old days--before people learned to protect the land and water and harness the power of wind and sunlight. It was a dark time when the forests died, rivers ran dry and millions went hungry. The girl was amazed and frightened that such things could ever have happened. But there was no need to think about that now--not with a glorious day ahead. It was so good to be alive, especially for a child.
