As the great forest fire raged on, the politicians were at a loss. They'd rather talk than act.
Some claimed the fire was a natural disaster, a force of nature. Others said it was a conspiracy, a plot by those in power.
We asked the Prime Minister, "What's your stance on this issue?" He said, "I'm not sure, but I'll get back to you."
Meanwhile, the opposition party was quick to blame the government. "We're the real heroes, we're the ones who will save the day," they claimed.
We asked the opposition leader, "But don't you think you're being a bit too quick to point fingers?" He retorted, "I'm just trying to keep things real."
As the fire continued to rage on, the politicians continued to bicker. Their arguments were as dry as the trees that stood tall in the forest.
And so, the people of the forest remained, stuck in their seats. Waiting for someone, anyone, to make a real decision.
Or, you know, just to get a decent night's sleep.
