    Timmy and Sally were best friends who loved to play in the park after school. One day, they noticed the park was not as clean as it used to be.

    They saw plastic wrappers, empty cans, and even broken toys scattered all over the place. It made them sad to see their favorite place in such a mess.

    Timmy said, 'We should clean this up, Sally. We can't let our park stay dirty.' Sally agreed, and they decided to form a clean-up crew.

    'Let's ask our friends to help us,' Sally suggested. They made posters and invited all their friends to join the clean-up crew.

    The next day, all their friends showed up with brooms, dustbins, and big smiles on their faces. They were ready to clean their park.

    The clean-up crew worked hard, picking up trash, sweeping the paths, and even planting new flowers. By the end of the day, the park was looking better.

    Everyone was proud of their hard work. The park was clean again, and the children promised to keep it that way.

    'We did a good job, didn't we, Timmy?' Sally asked. 'Yes, we did. But we need to make sure it stays clean,' Timmy replied.

    The children decided to put up a signboard in the park to remind everyone to keep it clean. It was a small step towards a cleaner environment.

    From that day on, the clean-up crew made sure the park stayed clean. They picked up any trash they saw and reminded others to do the same.

    The park was now a cleaner, happier place. The children had learned an important lesson about the environment and the role they played in protecting it.
