about this story

A man is water skiing across a large, wide river. To his left is a harbor full of boats getting ready for another day of fishing. To his right is a small forest containing all shades of green. This forest had once surrounded a large mountain range covered in boulders of all shapes and sizes. A large building lay along the side of the mountains for people to sight see, using telescopes to see far and wide. Pass the mountains, and you will find yourself the large expanses of farmland where the forest used to be. And the man that water skied would never know that the strawberries he ate were from the small pathc of forest that he stared at from his penthouse in the harbor. The people who stood along the side of the mountains to sight see would never know that the strawberries they ate were from the forest that used to surround the mountain, now replaced with a strawberry patch. All shades of green replaced with one shade of red. By one piece of fruit that nobody thinks twice about.
