     Ali said loudly，"I'm Ali，a good person.I've never done anyone any harm."After a long silence，the statue with the happy expression came to life and kindly said，"Excellent!You are perfect for this place，as this place is full of statues like you.They do no harm to anyone，either!"Soon Ali felt his whole body became completely paralyzed.
     Soon after，it was Tom's turn.But unlike his friend，the sight of those statues and their sad eyes moved him so much that he went to each one and touched them，secretly hoping that they were alive.And then he saw Ali.

     Tom looked at his friend，and Ali could move again.Meanwhile，the trees of the forest opened a way.When Tom was just about to go，Ali stopped him.Looking back at all the statues，Ali said，"Wait，Tom.I will not behave like a statue anymore.Let's do something for these people."
