Far away from human civilization, somewhere in the still undiscovered parts of the world, there was a forest, the trees of which were said to cure any disease that might ail humans, animals or plants. In exchange, these holy trees only demanded that their subjects respect them as they are, to not damage them in their vulnerabilty, to bring them water in case of a drought, to bring them good soil or fertiliser in case they were dieing. However, humans have all but forgotten about their existence, choosing to rely on their so-called science and medicine instead of these trees, which could have granted them even immortality. But such is the way of humans, they wish to rely only on themselves, even if it costs them their lives. They want to dominate, to conquer, not to coexist with their environment, so they destroy it instead of trying to live in harmony with it.
This forest had a guardian spirit, who used to be human herself, so she understood the greed and ambition humanity perfectly. Thus, when humans abandoned the forest for their own sciences, she continued her work diligently. She took care of the trees instead of the humans, she whispered into the ears of animals to make them take care of the plants, not to mention that she drove all evil spirits away. Whenever a human accidentally visited her forest, she made sure to keep out of their way so as not to make them aware of the forest's special properites. For a while, this worked quite well for the spirit, but one day, an old man wandered into the forst at a wrong time. The spirit was taking a bath in the nearby spring, so the trees, following their own good nature, healed the old man, and when the spirit returned, the damage was already done. The old man became a youth again, so he looked at his body in disbelief, which was when the spirit appeared before him.
The spirit pleaded with the old man endlessly, and made him promise not to share the secret of the forest with the rest of the world. However, as even he was only human, eventually, the secret got out, so people started to flock to the forest like doves. The spirit knew that if the forest healed so many humans, it would wither, so reluctantly, she told the trees not to heal any humans anymore. The people who went to the forest to get their sicknesses cured were very disappointed, but they turned their disappointment into anger, and called the old man a liar. The scandal that resulted from this case was so enormous that ironically, the old man could not find refugee anywhere but inside the secluded forest. There, the spirit appeared before him once again, and apologised to him about her behaviour. She explained the nature of the forest to him, but the old man refused to believe her.
Eventually, the spirit gave up on convincing the person. She knew that he would eventually return to take revenge for the "atrocity" she commited against him, so with great regret, she took away the ability of the forest to cure life, and locked it inside a small mirror. She then fled the forest, and as a punishment for her selfishness, she started walking around the world. Even now, she is amongst us, using her small mirror to give even smaller miracles to humans, to remind them that not only they exist in this world, that each and every one of their existences is a miracle, and should be treated as such.
