This narrative describes a once vibrant forest teeming with life, particularly birds that built nests in the trees, consumed seeds, flowers, and berries, and sang sweetly. The story takes a turn when the birds depart to visit their 'wantoks' (a term likely referring to their own kind or community). During their absence, the landowners arrive and clear-cut all the trees, completely destroying the forest. Upon their return, the birds find their home gone, with no trees, no food, and no habitat. They are forced to fly back to their wantoks, symbolizing a permanent loss as the forest never regrew. The document includes comprehension questions to assess understanding of the story, asking what was lost forever, what the birds did not eat, who cut down the trees, why the landowners might have done so, and how the birds might have felt. This educational excerpt focuses on environmental impact and the consequences of deforestation.
