EARTH DAY

Earth story

Once up on a time, there was a proud and beautiful emperor named Earth. His brothers and sisters lived with him in the Cosmos, the house that their Father, the Creator, had given them. The Creator loved Earth more than the others. After having created time and parted the night, God thought of giving the Earth a living kingdom. He created plants and animals, mountains and waters, but above all, he gave the Earth two wonderful children: Adam and Eve. The two loved the Emperor Earth a lot. They lived in his gardens as in Paradise and didn’t come out of his commands, and the Emperor Earth had promised them that he always protects them from all evil things. But time passed, and Adam and Eve were growing up and wishing with them. First, they asked their father wood to make the fire. Then they asked him to hunt for an animal for his tasty flesh or warm fur. They also wanted to use the subsoil riches.

Because he loved them, the Earth fulfilled their prayers, and Adam and Eve promised him to take care of the kingdom and use all new things with prudence. Years passed by thousands. The earth had begun to burden the kingdom's reserves to sink. Adam and Eve had grown up and left much of the gardens where God had brought them to Earth. They had built the castles that touched the clouds, on the place of the old forests, from which the animals had been thrown out and the cut trees. They had many children. They had forgotten the old Earth, and there was nothing left of the beautiful kingdom. The waters had almost ceased, the forests had been cut, the animals had been hunted.
Hearing that the Earth was in so much trouble, his brothers - the Sun, the Moon and the Stars - helped him. The sun turned into Fat-Frumos, The Moon in Ileana Cosanzeana, The Stars in Sanziene.

Fat-Frumos and Ileana Cosanzeana climbed into a chariot drawn by an ox and the Sanzienele rode on the winged eagles. They all descended into the kingdom of the Earth. They found him alone and sad. - People no longer care about the kingdom and do not think about their future. “We will die together, weep the Earth.
"The ox will remind people that the kingdom will live as long as they do not use their resources without meaning," said the Sun
“Seeing the ox, the Moon said, people would remember the times when the kingdom was covered with crystalline waters and stunning forests.
"And the towering eagles, said the Star-Sânziene, will call your sons, Earth, to ancient wisdom ..."
"Thank you! I, Earth, I do not feel deserted ... The messages have already reached the people. Some have seen and understood ... Millions of children plant the tree. Soon, forests will grow. The tornadoes will be stopped, the giant waves down. My ozone cloth will recover. Well, my children, you come to grip on my old chest for millennia. Stay mine!
