I had a pleasant dream last night. I went to bed late and was fast asleep. Suddenly I felt that I was
in the fairyland. There was a big garden. Flowers were blooming. The fairies were singing
beautiful songs.
One fairy came to me and greeted me with a sweet smile. She offered me a small chair to sit on
and enjoy the dance. Then I saw a little child playing on the flute. He arrived in the midst of the
fairies. The child started dancing with the fairies. There were some dwarfs sitting nearby. There
was a beautiful river. The sun was shiny and a cool breeze was blowing.
I sat under a shady tree. The tree was laden with fruit. The child brought some fruit for me. Then
the chi started singing and dancing. The fairies stood aroid me. It was a beautiful scene.
When I was taking fruit and enjoying dancing, suddenly woke up. My mother asked me to get up
and prepare for school.
Indias forests cover about 23% of total geographical area of the country. Forests play a vital
role in the economy of the country. They give fuel wood to poor people for cooking purpose.
Forests also provide material for industry. Those who build houses get timer for house
building and for various other purposes. Besides forests please the attracts rains and stops
erosion of the soil.
Evergreen forests are found where the rainfall is heavy. There are such forests in the Western
Ghats and the Sub-Himalayan regions. The category of the forests yield hard wood such as
teak rose wood and bamboos. The monsoon forests are found in large areas of Deccan
plateau. They provide teak, shal, sandalwood etc. The hill forests found at places above 500
feet above include the best timber and other trees. In recent years, lakhs of fast growing
eucalyptus trees have been planted along the roadside to attract rain.
Indias forest wealth has been reduced as a result of senseless cutting of trees. People need
firewood. Even official agencies clear vast jungle areas for constructing dams, roads and
buildings. The axe and bulldozer have been in common use. Grazing causes another problem
in large parts of the country. So the annual rate of the loss of forests is a serious threat to the
countrys economy.
Nobody would be able to escape adverse effect of this destruction. The disappearance of
forests results in changing rainfall pattern and causing drought conditions in large areas.
There is a report that about 25 per cent of all the drugs are derived from trees. Trees also yield
vital industrial oils, resins and dyes.
Now we understand the importance of forests in the countrys economy. We also realize their
value in maintaining the ecological balance. Now the government tries to save the forest land
and reserve forest in the country. But the destruction of forests continues lakhs of fresh trees
are planted every year in India but they perish, for lack of care.
We get many things from the forests. They include bamboos of different kinds. We get
grasses of various types. Medical plants gum and lac are provided by forests. It is also widely
used for medicines. In India there are over 20000 types of medicinal plants. So forests are of
great value. They deserve much greater practical attention than they are getting now.
Being a true friend does not always mean appeasing or pacifying an individual just to
make them happy. A true friend is, however, an individual who will care enough to tell
you the truth under any circumstance, and at the same time stand by your side, even
when you make a mistake.

person becomes miserable, as he loses all faith, sympathy and support of the his friends and everyone starts

about all things then when we tell our friends something they believe you. If we are known to be dishonest for
just once, none respect us. For example if I ask information about someone to my friend, he gave some
information which is not truth. When I came to know that, I won't believe my friend next time. Even it will

have lots of fellows. Among them, we choose special ones for our friendship.

for us because they are the ones bring us to this world. Our sisters and brothers
love us because they are born with us. But friends are something different. Friends
feel affection for us without any such stipulation or relation. They completely care
and are devoted to us without any hope or assurances. We get a hold to share the
largest part of love and relation with friends. Friends, who remain true to each
