During the mysterious old days, there was a forest that remained forever green. Winter, summer, spring or autumn, the forest never changed colours. It was called the Evergreen Forest and it was very important to the world. All the world’s fresh drinking water was produced here. The forest had beautiful old trees. One day, some men walked into the forest and saw those trees. They decided to cut down all the trees and sell them for a lot of money. Unknown to them, the forest fairies were listening to their plans. The fairies said, “Destroying the trees would destroy our world! Let us use our magic.” One after the other every man felt himself shrinking. Soon, they were no bigger than worms. In fact, the fairies had turned them into earthworms. They gave them the job of keeping the soil healthy and fertile. That was their punishment for planning to destroy such an important forest as Evergreen Forest.
