Story line :
A farmer and his family lived in a village house. His days would have been spent in farming with difficulty. There was a big tree in the backyard of the farmer’s house. The tree was full of leaves all year round.
Many birds nested in that tree and the farmer’s sons and daughters used to play under that tree with great joy. In this way the farmer and his family would spend their days. The farmer’s sons and daughters would go to the village school to study. The farmer would cultivate the land.
One year there is no rain . The cultivated land dried up and no crop was harvested. He was very sad to think about farming, how to eat all year round or how to run the family. The farmer lost sleep at night due to anxiety and his body started breaking down. The farmer lost sleep at night due to anxiety and his body started breaking down.
Seeing no way out, the farmer thought to himself that he would go to the city. As soon as he told his wife that he would go to the city to earn a living and run a family, she became sad in his heart and told the farmer that it was not possible to become a man from a rural environment and move to the city.
The big tree had a very large bee hive but the farmer did not know that when he had hit the tree then all the bees came and attacked the farmer. The farmer’s wife advised the farmer to take the honey to the market and sell it without cutting it.
The farmer liked this word very much because he did not want his tree friend to cut down .Everyone was very happy when the sky was full of clouds and the rain came and soaked the fields.
This story is built on the theme of human friendship with tree as well as environment/ nature. The story of how a tree can save a family is told in this puppet play. It is highly relevant in the present time that the tree is our absolute best friend for our survival.
