B
One day,the Earth was ill. He felt so bad that an earthquake(地震)happened. After the earthquake,it rained every day. Then the Sun told him to go to the hospital. The Moon looked at the Earth and said,“Look! Your skin should be the blue sea and the green land,but it is turning more and more yellow.”
“It is the desert(沙漠),” the Earth said. The Moon looked at him carefully. She saw some people were cutting down trees near the desert.
“I will make chairs and beds,” a young man said happily.
“I want to make a work of art,” an artist said.
“I want to sell these trees to make money,” an old man said.
“Winter is coming! I need more wood to make my house warm,” an old woman said.
At that moment,a truck came with a group of men. They began to cut the trees quickly. Soon,all the trees disappeared and the truck took them away. The Earth began to cry. The desert laughed at him,“Ha! Ha! You can do nothing about me!”
