The trees that live in this type of forest grow slowly and seal (封存) carbon in their trunks and roots for hundreds of years, including a collection of trapped emissions that researchers call a carbon sink. But rising temperatures and related drought in these historically cool regi

75、but I beg you never to tell anyone how you got the horse.” “And why not?” asked Jehu. “Because,” replied Nabor, “another man might be truly sick and in trouble, and men would be too fearful to help him. In this way, you would prevent others doing what is good and right for fear of being tricked as I

76、 have been.”Struck with shame at these words, Jehu was silent for a moment. Then, he jumped from the horse and led him back to the owner. He said, “Nabor, take back your horse. How bad it would be if, by my wicked actions, I should stop other people doing what is right! I am sorry for the wrong which I was about to do.” Nabor was happy to get his beautiful horse back, but he was even happier that his words had stopped another person from wickedness and crime. He offered his forgiveness and friendship to Jehu. He then invited him back to his tribe, and ever afterwards treated him as a friend.
