SHRUB THIEF GANG

Deva's father, an agricultural engineer, was always busy collecting plants, naming them, and studying their genetic makeup and the chemicals available in them. He told Deva that knowledge of shrubs and plants is not just for scientists, but also useful for common people and farmers.

  
"We have been using plants for years, but our knowledge about plants is very limited. We must spread awareness of the importance of these precious shrubs and plants among the farmers."

Three friends, Sam, Riya, and Ajay, lived in the town near their farmhouse. They decided to steal plants. But they did not want to do it like ordinary thieves but using technology.

One morning the three of them made a plan and went to the nearby forest. They collected beautiful flowers and medicinal plants. When they went to the market, they were surprised to see that people were paying a good price for these plants. They earned a lot of money on the very first day.

Gradually, these three became experts in stealing shrubs and plants. But as their success grew, their greed also increased. They thought, why not steal more expensive and rare plants and shrubs which sell at a better price? This idea inspired them to do even more risky work.

Sam said, "Why don't we use a smartphone app that tells us the location of the most expensive plants?"

Riya immediately downloaded an app that gave information about local gardens and plants. It also had the name of Deva's farmhouse, and it was nearby.

Ajay said, "We can also share our adventures on social media!"

Thus, they chose the rare medicinal plants in Deva's garden as their first target. They hatched a plan to steal the plants in the dark without anyone noticing.

At night, they reached the garden. Sam led the way using his phone's flashlight. As they started uprooting the plants, Deva suddenly spotted them.

He shouted, "What are you guys doing?"

Ajay quickly said, "We were just taking pictures of the plants!"

Deva didn't believe them and ran to catch them.

But Sameer immediately started making a video and said, "Look, guys, we are just celebrating the beauty of plants!"

Deva didn't believe them but let them go. Incidentally, their video went viral, and people started calling them "plant thieves." Now they weren't just stealing; they were gaining fame on the internet.

A few days later, they decided to steal again, but this time they adopted a new method. They bought a drone that could fly over the garden and track the location of the security guards.

When the drone started flying, Riya said, "Look! The guard is not here!" They again tried to uproot a rare plant. But as they pulled it up, the drone suddenly fell and attracted Deva towards them.

Deva caught them and said, "You know this is not all a joke?"

But Sam laughed and said, "We were just promoting plants!"

Finally, Deva let them go with a warning. After this, Sam, Riya, and Ajay decided they would never steal plants again but work for their conservation.

This way, the three friends changed their identities. Now they became activists spreading awareness about plants in the city. They shared their experiences on social media and inspired people to take care of plants.

Don't you think that sometimes mistakes can lead to the right path, and by using modern technology properly we can do something good not only for ourselves but also for society?

Deva called a meeting of the villagers. He invited everyone and prepared a presentation with the help of his father. He explained how plants not only keep the environment balanced but are also essential for our health. He also explained that it is our collective responsibility to take care of and protect plants.

Many people came to the meeting, but some people still insisted on their point. They said, "We cut the plants and sell them and get money from it."

Deva said, "Have you thought that when we cut the precious plants, we put our future at risk? Do we want to give our children a barren land?"

Deva taught his fellow citizens how they can take care of the plants around them. He also shared that some plants act as natural medicines and how they can be used properly.

They now understood Deva's point and decided that together they would stop those who were cutting the plants without permission. Apart from this, they resolved to plant as many trees as possible around their homes.

This wisdom of Deva made those three friends give up their old habits. They decided to create a garden where they would plant and care for trees. Gradually more people started joining them. Thus, the story of the thieves took a new turn.

They not only improved their lives but also taught others about the importance of plants. Now they were no longer just thieves; they had become protectors of nature. True wealth is in nature, and when we understand that, we can make our lives better.

People were now not only taking care of the plants but also planting new ones. Deva realised that knowledge is not limited to books; it also comes from community effort and traditional knowledge. He learned that when people work together, they can create a better future not only for themselves but for the generations to come.
