Xing Ni: We save trees for what! Why the hell are we doing this!
Sheryl: You don’t know meh? We must do this because many teenages like you do not know what is the importance of trees.Trees, right, are the main source of food. No trees and plants, hor, there will be no food for herbivours. No herbivours, hor, there will be no food for carnivore. No carnivores and herbivours, then there will be no food for omnivores and humans.
Xing Ni: Won’t de larh! Buy macdonald larh!
Sheryl: We cannot larh! Listen! Trees help to beautify our environment but their values also lie in absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, increasing biodiversity, preventing soil erosion, providing shade and lowering the temperature of its surroundings. SOOOO without trees, hor, the earth will have more carbon dioxide and less oxygen.
Xing Ni: I can live without oxygen what! You are such a science freak!
