Earth has a fever

A little plant was growing underground. There were only soil and little stones around it. The little plant was bored. It met an old grandpa Worm.

The little plant told him about her dreams. She could see green grass, bees, butterflies. Children played with each other and were happy.

The little plant said: “I also want to go out, I want to become a beautiful little flower.”

Worm replied: “It isn’t beautiful outside anymore. The people cut the trees and chased the birdies away. There are only concrete and high skyscrapers. Because there are no trees, the Earth is too hot. The Earth has a fever, just like children have fever if they are ill. People built big cities. There aren’t any plants, and the children don’t play with each other. The children stay at home, watching TV and  computer. They don’t go out, they don’t jump ropes, and they don’t play with a ball.”

»Let’s go out,« the little flower said, »we have to help people!« The plant looked out from underground and a little boy found it. The little boy saw  a flower for the first time. He thought it was a small toy.

His dad told him it wasn’t a toy but a plant growing from the ground.

The little flower will only grow if he waters it and protects it from the hot sun.

The boy called his friends and showed them the little flower. The friends decided to take care of the little flower together. They watered the little flower and protected it from the hot sun.

The children wanted other flowers to grow in the world. They told other people to take care of flowers and other plants, so that the world will be beautiful again and there will be a lot of plants on it.

Earth has a fever

Sometime in the future, a new life was born. 

Somewhere under the surface, a small flower was growing. She was like a baby. 

The small flower looked at the world around her. There was only dirt and a few small stones. 

“Wow, this looks so different from the world I dreamed of when I was a tiny seed.”

Then she heard a deep voice behind her. She saw old grandfather Worm.  

“Just stay in your hole. It’s much better here than on the surface,” he told her. 

“But, in my dreams I saw green rivers, bees and butterflies with colourful wings. Children were playing. I have to get to the surface, to meet my dreams. Goodbye, my friend.”

“Wait, wait. Your dreams are very beautiful, but everything is different now.”

“Really? What happened?”

“The Earth has a high fever. The forests are disappearing.”

“That’s really terrible. But what happened to all the birds and their  nests? Do they live in the cities now? What is life like in the cities?”

“Cities are all made of concrete, metal and glass. People don’t leave their homes anymore; it’s very hot everywhere. They have no time for their children and for nature.” 

“Grandpa Worm, tell me about today’s children.”

“The children spend all their days in front of computers and TVs. They don’t play outside anymore” 

“This is bad. We have to do something, Grandpa Worm.” 

“I suggest we stay right down here. It’s more safe.” 

“No, Grandpa, that’s not how we do things. People and children need help. Let’s go up to the sun!” 

A small boy saw something new on the ground in front of his house.

He thought it was a toy. He didn’t know how to play with it. He called his father to help him.

His dad told him that it wasn’t a toy, but a daisy growing from the ground.

“A daisy? What is that?” 

“It’s a flower, a living thing.  There were a lot of them when I was young.“

 “It’s so beautiful. But it’s going to die in the hot sun.”

“You’re right, son. We need to water it well.”

“Don’t worry, Daddy.  I’ll take care of it. My friends will come and help me.”

The boy called his friends and showed them the little flower. Together they watered the daisy and protected it from the hot sun.

They also made a plan to save the Earth and all the living things on it. They told other people about the daisy and informed the media about it.

The children created the Save Daisy program. They hoped that the world will be beautiful again and there would be a lot of daisies and other plants on it.

Earth has a fever

Sometime in the future, a new life was born. Somewhere beneath the surface, a sprout was growing from a tiny seed. It looked curiously at the world around it. It didn’t see much, just lots of earth and a stone here and there.

“Gosh, this looks completely different from the world I dreamed of. Everything looks so dull.

Suddenly, it heard a deep voice behind it. It saw an old Grandpa Worm.

“You should stay where you are. It’s paradise here, compared to what it’s like on the surface,” Grandpa Worm told little sprout. 

“Of course, I remember now. That was the place from my dreams. In my dreams I saw green rivers, bees and butterflies with colourful wings. Children were playing with kites and balls. I must hurry up to the surface. I can’t wait. Goodbye, my friend.”

“Wait, wait! Your dream is beautiful, but things are not as they used to be.” 

“Really? What happened?” 

“The Earth has a high fever. Forests are shrinking. They cut down the last giant tree and turned it into a table.”

“That’s truly horrible! What happened to all the birds who had families and nests there? Do they now nest on the table, in the city? What is life even like in cities?”

“My dear child, cities are all concrete, steel and glass. It’s gotten so hot people no longer leave their homes. There are air conditioners blowing everywhere. Adults no longer have free time. Not even for their own children and nature”

Tell me about today’s children, grandpa Worm.”

“The children spend all their days in front of computers and TVs. They don’t play outside anymore” 

“I don’t like this modern world. We must do something about it, Grandpa Worm.”

“I suggest we just stay down here. It’s much safer, and there’s enough food for everybody.”

“No, grandpa Worm, we-re not doing that. People and children need help. “

“Are you sure?”

“Of course, we  must help them. Let’s go up towards the sun!”

A small boy saw something new in the backyard.

He thought it was a toy and he didn’t know how to play with it. He called his father to help him.

Dad was really surprised:

“A daisy! A real daisy! It’s been so long since I’ve seen one. And now we have it right here in our backyard. How beautiful!” 

“A daisy? What is that?”

“This is a flower, a tiny living being. When I was young, there were many of them. Those were happy times.”

“Dad, smell it. It smells nice! And it is so beautiful but outside the hot sun will burn it, won’t it?”

“You’re right, son. We must water the flower well. I just hope it will survive this heat.”

“Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll look after it. And I won’t be alone. My friends are coming this afternoon, and they will help.”

The friends agreed they will help. 

“Great! We will nurture her  and plant her seeds all over the world.” said small boy.

They decided to make a plan on how to save Earth and all the living beings on it.

They agreed they would tell all their classmates and other people about the daisy.

They also informed the media and presented their ideas.

Children have created the Save the Daisy movement.


“Did you see, my dear friend? And this is just the beginning. I am so proud of you. You were very brave to come to this world,” said the small boy to the flower.
