The Unwanted

Refugees I know of a forest where all trees are equally tall and the distant between them is strangely wide this so they can get the same amount of sun and rain will fall evenly on plants and mossy ground. Trees grow fast here and next year they will be harvested and new sampling planted. For the birds, rabbits and foxes that had made a home at what can be called a new estate will have to move or find shelter in the old forest that is full of thorny bushes deep shadow and and vulgar boars that never had a bath unless caught out in the rain Nests will be too near others there will squabble rabbits and foxes have to make new burrows and they will be snubbed by the old dwellers who will call them lazy or even worse new-rich should the have shiny fur or colourful feathers and will not be sent a Christmas card that year.
