Imagine you have a garden where everyone is supposed to take care of the plants, but instead, everyone is being mean and breaking the plants. Because of this, the garden gets ruined, and you have to be very careful about eating and drinking from what's left. That's what's happening to the people in this story, but with their whole land.
