The Lion and the Fox
old Lion lives in the forest. He is too old to hunt. How can he get his food? He thinks of a
clever plan. He puts a note on his door. It says: “I am old and hungry. Please come and visit
me before I die." So all the animals go to see the old lion. First a sheep comes to visit him.
Then a cow, then a rabbit, then a deer, then a donkey, and last of all a young goat. After each
visitor, the lion feels better. He licks his lips and smiles. Now the fox comes to visit him. The
lion asks the fox to come into his house. But the fox doesn't come in. She is standing near
his house. The fox says: "No, thank you. I don't want to come in."
"Why don't you want to come in?" asks the old lion. The fox looks at the footprints all
around the lion's house. Then she says to the lion: "Look at these footprints. They all lead to
your house, but they don't lead out of your house. When all your visitors come out, then I
will come in to visit you!"

It is true that trees are being cut down rapidly. Our earth is becoming warmer. If pollution continues, the day is not far when our earth will be a boiling pan and become a desert. Or it will be covered with sea water causing destruction of mankind.
Pure air is always needed for inhaling. If we take pure air, our health improves. On the other hand impure air causes diseases and impairs our health and causes our death. Smoke pollutes the air. It is the root of air pollution. The smoke which is discharged from industries, automobiles and kitchens is the mixture of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane etc. These are all poisonous gases. These cause lung-cancer, tuberculosis etc. which take a heavy toll of life. The glaring incident is the Bhopal gas leak in December 1984. Thousands of the residents of Bhopal died due to lungs problem which was caused by methylamine gas from the Union Carbide Plant.
If the air we breathe, the water we drink and the soil which produces our crops, vegetables and fruits, all become more and more impure, then our chances of good health and longevity will be very less and less. Environment pollution is a serious menace to our existence. Realising the danger, we must plant trees in large number to absorb impure air. Impure water from industries can be sent back for purification and then it can be used for irrigation purpose. Our government is well aware of the fact and is taking steps to save environment from pollution. We have also I minister to look after the environment.
