Lesson 6 Together in Our Community
The Story of the Commons
The number of cows rose slowly at first.
Then the cow population grew more quickly.
The grass on the commons began to disappear, and it became harder for the cows to find grass to eat.
To make matters worse, it did not rain for a long time.
I don‘t have any cows left!
Good bye.
What happened to the commons?
In the past, when a dry year came, the small number of cows on the commons always found something to eat.
However, no grass was left now because there were too many cows.
Things were harsh for the villagers; many of the cows died.
At last, the grass came back.
Now it was able to support only one cow per family.
The village went back to the one-family-one-cow rule.
The villagers all learned an important lesson: when resources are shared, it is important for everyone to value the resources and use them fairly.
The villagers now tell this story to their children.
They call it “The Story of the Commons.”
