You’ve inherited a wide land from your ancestors. It is really healthy by nature. Trees are racing to reach the highest canopy. Birds and beatles are freely flying. Toads, lizards, and snakes are everywhere on the ground.
However, your days are spent idle. You are bored with the same scenery in it. You are not yielding any profit from your land at all but plenty of firewoods you no longer need for you have mechanical stoves for cooking. Just for the sake of having something to get busy with, you bulldozed the obstructing trees and woods on your land to reveal the healthy soil. Just perfect for your vegetable plots. You enjoyed plowing your hectare-wide former-forest property to give way for your leisure. You’ve completely denuded it. You have just undress the mother nature.
What now? Your point of doing it so by the way is to get rid of being unproductive. You did it looking at its positive side. Now, you will have something to be proud of as your worth for everyone that sees your wide green-leafy-vegetable farm. Plus, your slumbering property has awaken to cater you with entertainment.
But, you will notice, it will be hotter in the next summers, it will be deeper next floods, and winds will blow dusty than foggy. It will then be more silent for birds chirps will never be heard. Insects might still be around, but this time on your plants.
