The Mother Earth, hands folded behind and sipping her favorite juice, relaxing on her orbit, looking at her old album, just got from the storeroom... of the day when her brother and sister planets, graduated as solar planets. She was flooded by the memories of Mercury, her first love, but was very hot tempered, that was all and all her troubles begin.
Pages turning up, one after another, she recollects the days, when dinausorous and other animals ruled her heart.
Lost in the memories, there is a knock at the door. Ting Tong!! who is there? She opens the door. A small baby... human baby! New baby to the Mother Earth! What a delight!
The initial years of Mother Earth and the Human Children were the years of pure joy. They shared love, laughter and took care of each other.
Years passed by and human child became a man. A man filled with pride, lust, smaller brains, smarter minds...however his feelings towards his Mother Earth shrunk to such an extent that he did not seem to care at all about her health. He built up huge factories emitting harmful chemicals. He cut up trees to accommodate his huge families.
She begged for his help.But the loud noises in his factories deafened him from listening to her shrieks. While she bled in pain, his lust to gain more wealth did not seem to have an end.
Started coughing, suffering from fever, looking at her state, somewhere in his heart he felt the dire need to look after her so that even his family is protected, after all Mother Earth was his World.
"Oh! What have I done to her?" He exclaimed. "I killed her using my own hands. How do I make her healthy again?"
After following doctor's prescriptions and advice, the Mother Earth slowly recovered to her original state. She drapes herself into lush green gown.
She gets ready for a date with her children filled again with love, joy and laughter.
