### Dialogue

**Gardener** | ...
Hello? Are you a visitor to the **Titantree Forest**?
Hold on, you... you read my notes!
(sigh) You shouldn't have done that. However, I'm sorry you had to learn about the past of the **Titantree Forest**.
I'm the Soul of the Forest. Ever since the **Titantree Forest** was ruined, I've been working hard to restore it.
Yet my efforts alone weren't enough. If someone could help me... Eh? You can help?
The tree of life is the core of **Titantree Forest**. Our goal is to revive the **Tree of Life**.
Do you think you could help me to gather some Forest Glory? You may exchange them for an assortment of items from the **Gardening Supplies**, such as watering cans, herbicide, and other things you can use to enhance the Tree of Life's growth...
You daily efforts will be recorded in the **Gardening Journal**. That's right, the one you flicked through before.
Only by increasing the **Tree of Life**'s **Growth** can the entire forest be awakened. Let's rebuild the home of Mr. Eggshell and the animals!
This little tree is a thank-you gift from **Titantree Forest**. You can grow and decorate it with your friends at the **Community Garden**.
...
Well, thank you. If you have any questions, please feel free to come to the treehouse next door to find me. Alright, hurry along now... There are **others** here in the forest who are dying to see you.

## Gardening Journal

Have you heard of the Titantree Forest?

It's a mysterious yet beautiful forest full of lush trees and fragrant flowers. In the springtime, the spring breeze would paint the Titantree Forest green with grass, and birds would build their nests on branches. In summer, flowers would blossom as butterflies surround them. In autumn, plump fruits would fill up branches. In winter, little birds would jump around branches covered in snow...

Deep within the Titantree Forest was a tree named the "Tree of Life" and its surrounding scenery was the best in the forest. Many small animals like rabbits, hedgehogs, and birds lived around the tree. The Titantree Forest was home to the small animals, and the Tree of Life was the Titantree Forest's heart. These small animals grew up and had fun around the tree...

Even their dreams were sweet when they slept underneath the Tree of Life.

### Page 2

In the Titantree Forest, there was a robot named Mr. Eggshell. No one knew when and where he came from. Yet everyone knew Mr. Eggshell loved sleeping on the grass.

When the weather was good, the sunlight would shine through the branches and warm up Mr. Eggshell's tummy. Small animals would quietly run up to Mr. Eggshell and tickle his tummy... Mr. Eggshell would never get mad as he loved these animals.

The Titantree Forest was such a peaceful habitat! There were beautiful scenery, soft grass, infinite fruits, and numerous friends and family... It's home to the small animals, and it's where they grew up.
Countless birds learned how to fly here, and young squirrels learned how to climb and jump on the branches of the Tree of Life.
Mr. Eggshell wished to go on sleeping in such a gentle and quiet forest forever... yet something unexpected silently crept up.

### Page 3

It was just like another morning when a sudden clamor broke the Titantree Forest's silence.
A group of people went into the forest with chainsaws as they chatted loudly amongst themselves. Their steps were so heavy that the bees and butterflies flew off in the chaos. Their voices were so loud that the squirrels and rabbits went into hiding in the bushes.
Have you heard the sound of chainsaws before?

The thundering sound of the chainsaws was just like a monster's roar. These people broke down shrubs and saw down trees with chainsaws. Even the Tree of Life had the same fate. Its ancient branches broke like bones and even sounded like an old man in agony.
Leaves fell like rain as the tree trunks collapsed with a "bang." Animals living in tree caves ran for their lives, and those living in the shrubs shuddered in fear. They witnessed the trees falling one after another...
That was their home.

As the rain cloud shielded the sun, Mr. Eggshell finally woke up.

The people paid no attention to this rusty robot, just as they paid no attention to the animals' grief and anger. Mr. Eggshell tried to stop these people from destroying the forest, yet all he managed to save was the broken, bale branches of the Tree of Life...
In just a few days, those people took away the tree trunks, leaving the Titantree Forest in a state of devastation.
This used to be such a beautiful piece of land, yet those poor animals had no choice but to leave. Mr. Eggshell didn't blame them, but he hated the destroyers who ruined everyone's home.

The sunlight no longer shone into the Titantree Forest, and all Mr. Eggshell could do was to stand guard of the Titantree Forest infinitely...

The Titantree Forest has been restored!

With everyone's help, young leaves and small flowers are growing on the Tree of Life! This is unbelievable. Mr. Eggshell never expected this day to come.

The energy of the Tree of Life is spreading throughout the forest: the grass is becoming green as adorable mushrooms and beautiful wildflowers begin to grow. The sky is clearing up and a light breeze brushes against the grass, filling the air with the scent of fresh soil.

Mr. Eggshell is elated, but he's most grateful that the animals can finally come home. They are coming from every direction in a swarm: they can finally, finally come home! The Titantree Forest is as beautiful as it ever was, filled with memories of Mr. Eggshell and the animals.

The sunlight is so warm and the newly grown grass is so soft that Mr. Eggshell is lying down on the grass and falling asleep at ease.
As he begins to dream, there will no longer be any intruders, and their home will no longer be broken. All there is now are children's laughter and the warmth of the sunshine...

**Owl** | Huh...? The Tree of Life has grown new leaves! Thank you. With your help, we can make the Titantree Forest better than ever before. I really miss those days... I want to see the Titantree Forest return to how it once was, then I can return to the tall birch tree where I used to live...

**Owl** | The Tree of Life has gradually begun to recover... We're getting closer and closer to its full recovery. Every year countless animals are displaced as a result of ecological destruction. Some species have even become extinct... If only more people like you would help us... The future of mankind is intertwined with our own. Please do all you can to help us.

**Gardener** | The Tree of Life... The Tree of Life has been restored! Thanks to your efforts, I believe that the Titantree Forest will be restored to its former glory soon.

Oh and before you leave, don't forget to collect the gifts you got from the Tree of Life's different stages of recovery. And don't forget this beautiful forest and we who live here...

**Red Panda** | The Tree of Life has grown new branches and leaves! I will continue accompanying you until the forest is restored to life! After all, my friends and my family used to live here. So, even if this place becomes a broken wasteland, I will...I will remain here, waiting for my friends and family to return home.

**Red Panda** | Thank you for your help. You've been working hard these days...If you get a chance, please try some apples that I planted myself! The warriors of the Titantree Forest do not fear the ravages of nature, but no one wants to see their home destroyed, nor do they want to be separated from their families. Thank you. Will you continue fighting for us in the future?

### Squirrel

**Squirrel** | Wow! Am I imagining things? The Tree of Life seems to be glowing with vitality! Thank you for your efforts! If things keep on like this, maybe one day I can see my friends again! And my father...

**Squirrel** | Wow! New leaves have grown on the Tree of Life! This reminds me of the days when the forest was not in peril. In spring, the Tree of Life would blossom, and Mr. Eggshell would doze beneath its branches, while we danced and played around him... What happy days those were. I told my father that my dream is to become a mechanic and wake up that sleepy Mr. Eggshell so he can enjoy the spring sunshine in the forest with us. Mr. Eggshell has awakened, but his home and family are gone.

**Squirrel** | Excellent! We're even closer to restoring the forest! You have a good heart to be helping us restore the great forest and protecting us, but there are also fiends out there destroying trees and poaching the forest's animals! They have families and parents, too... But those who have been taken away will never be returned... What did they do to deserve such a fate? The complete restoration of the Titantree Forest is finally within sight! Hang on!

**Gardener** | The Tree of Life... The Tree of Life has been restored! Thanks to your efforts, I believe that the Titantree Forest will be restored to its former glory soon. And those animals... they will get to come home soon. Thank you for your help. You will always be welcome here in the Titantree Forest!
