1. The Forest Protest
By Derrick Lugo

2. There was once a little town of animals living together in the forest.

3. There were the animals
that lived in the lake

4. And there were the animals that lived in the forest

5. One day the lake animals got mad because they thought that the trees blocked out some of the sun

6. The lake animals gathered and discussed what to do about the issue

7. The lake animals gathered and discussed what to do about the issue

8. They decided that there could only be one Solution to their issue…

9. Cut down the trees!
PERFECT IDEA!
YEA!
ALRIGHT!

10. The lake animals came into the forest and told The forest animals that they were going to cut the trees down

11. The lake animals came into the forest and told The forest animals that they were going to cut the trees down

12. The forest animals objected, but the lake animals said there was no choice
We don’t want you to do that!
NO!
Sorry no choice! 
Come on man, that’s not right

13. The forest animals couldn’t believe what they were hearing!
You cant be serious!
NO!
Gosh darn it!
>:)

14. The forest animals then joined together and had the idea for a simple protest
Lets have a protest!

15. Don’t cut down the trees!
The forest animals then began to protest
Don’t cut down the trees!
DONT CUT DONW THE TREEES?
DONT CUT DONW THE TREEES?
DONT CUT DONW THE TREEES?

16. The lake animals heard the protests and got angry
DONT CUT DONW THE TREEES?
DONT CUT DONW THE TREEES?
DONT CUT DONW THE TREEES?

17. The lake animals covered the protesters in tar and feathers
NO Protesting!
DONT CUT DONW THE TREEES?
DONT CUT DONW THE TREEES?
DONT CUT DONW THE TREE?S!

18. Have you heard about the forest next door?
After weeks of protesting and punishment, the forest next door heard about the injustice and decided to do something about it
Have you heard about the forest next door?
Yeah. Lets go help them!

19. The lake animals had tarred all the forest animals and were about to start cutting down the trees

20. When the others came in

21. EEE! WE DIDN’T ACOUNT FOR THIS MANY FORESTERS!
The lake animals got scared by the other forest animals because they hadn't seen them before so they ran away
EEE! WE DIDN’T ACOUNT FOR THIS MANY FORESTERS!

22. The forest next door had saved the day!

23. In the end the lake and forest animals made up and the forest animals helped the lake animals with the sunlight issue.

24. Speech
In places like Kyrgyzstan or Belarus in Europe and Central Asia, people are being beat, harassed, or put into jail for things like protesting. This has been going on for a while and is still happening today. People should be able to say what they think about something. It is just not right to punish someone if they didn’t do anything wrong. We should help these people. If the government of the U.S were beating innocent people, like you, for no reason would you want someone to help you? Or would you like to stay oppressed and scared? It’s never right to take away someone's human rights and then harm them.
