Forests
are called the green gold of a country because they are a country’s
wealth. There are numerous advantages of having green forests. They give us rain;
they prevent floods and give us a number of valuable products. We get timber
for building our houses, wood for furniture, and fuel for cooking food. Besides
these, we get many other useful products from them. They are honey, wax, gum,
oil, herbs, lac and dyes. Think of the paper mills. Can they produce paper
without getting wood from the forests? The industry of the artificial silk depends
on forests. Forests add to the beauty of a country and provide shelter to wild
animals. During wars, they give cover to armies.

One afternoon, when the

cottage, talking about the Great Stone Face. They had to lift their eyes and
there it was, plain to be seen, though miles away, with the sunshine
brightening all its features.
And what was the great
stone face?
The Great Stone Face was a work of nature, formed on
the perpendicular side by a mountain by some immense rocks, which had been
thrown together so that , when viewed at a proper distance, they resembled the
features of a human face. If the spectator approached too near, he lost the
outline of the enormous face and could see only a heap of gigantic rocks, piled
one upon another. But seen from a distance, the clouds clustering about it, the
Great Stone Face seemed positively alive. It was the belief of many people that
the valley owed much of its fertility to the benign face that was continually
beaming over it.
