FUEL AND TOLLS GET COSTLIER, WHAT’S NEXT?
Once upon a time, in a land not too far away, the people woke up to find everything was getting costlier. The places where people learn, called universities, asked for more money. But that was not all. Two big groups, known as ZERA and ZINARA, also decided it was time to ask for more money for fuel and using the roads.
Now, the big leaders said, “It’s not our fault! It’s because other countries are being mean to us!” But the people were smart. They knew it wasn’t true. It was because the big leaders, especially one called Scarfmore, and his group were not doing their job right. They kept making up new money, even golden coins, but nothing seemed to work.
People were very unhappy. They didn’t say “yes” to these leaders, but still, they were in charge. And now, life was harder. People had less money, but everything cost more. The water wasn’t clean, finding a place to sleep was hard, and getting medicine was a big problem.
The leaders kept breaking promises and rules. They even scared the people, saying things that were not true. And the people who were supposed to help, like the police, were not helping at all. They were poor and scared too, because of the big leaders.
The leaders wanted to keep all the power, not share it with others. They didn’t want others to ask questions or say when things were wrong. They wanted to take all the money, leaving none for the people.
The people knew, the leaders didn’t care about them. They only cared about keeping power and getting richer. And while the leaders lived in big houses and had lots of food, the people were struggling every day.
Now the people were worried. If fuel and road prices were going up, what else would get costlier? They knew they had to stand together, or the big bad leaders would take even more from them. And they hoped, someday, good leaders would come to help fix all the problems and make life better again.
