Keep it Clean!
One day in
Daisy City, there was a little boy named Jack. Jack was 13 years old and loved
to find new adventures, like, water, water was Jacks favorite thing to study.
Jack
was on a big fling for school, to try to convince kids and adults that
polluting the water was bad. Jack had figured out, from past time experience,
that the world had only 3% of drinking water (that humans can drink), 70% salt
water, and 27% polluted water.
Jack
had already put up 390 flyers that said:
WATER POLLUTION!
Don’t
pollute the waters!
Jack thought that these flyers might convince people that
water pollution is just like polluting the water that people will have to drink
someday.
Jack
soon figured out that this was not helping! People were still polluting waters!
So Jack thought, “This can’t go on, or people won’t have any more water to
drink”.
Now,
Jack new that he was only 13 and couldn’t do much for Daisy City, but he could
go to the mayor, so he did.
The next day was Saturday. Jack got up and
got ready to go, he dressed in his nicest soot and tie, then he put on his
suede shoes. Jack loved to get dressed up, especially to go to see Mayor
Smiley.
When Jack got to the Mayors office he walked
up to the desk, “Excuse me, my name is Jack Lily, and I am here to see Mayor
Smiley. The lady slightly looked up from her paper and said, “He is in his
office, three doors down on the right,”
“Thanks,”
said Jack walking down the hall. He walked into the mayor’s office, to Jacks
surprise Mayor Smiley was sitting in his desk turned to the city.
“Hello,” said Jack, the mayor
turned around smiled and took the cigar from his mouth, the two guys talked for
at lest an hour and promised Jack that he would do any thing he possibly could!
As
Jack was walking toward the door he smiled and waked out. Jack saw a man
walking down the road throwing trash out of his backpack into the Daisy Lake.
Jack sweetly asked the man to stop, and he did!
Jack
walked home to tell the news, as he sat down for dinner something seemed wrong.
So Jack asked! They said that they were so proud of how Jack stood up to the
mayor and spoke his mind. Jack told his mother what he had said to the man and
what he had said to the mayor, and Jack took the whole dinner up, talking about
what he had said to the mayor!
Jack went to school and told his class what
he had accomplished, that day at the mayor’s office and on the way home.
HE told his class that Mayor Smiley was going to loan them several boats so
that they could go test water in Daisy Lake and Gill Creek.
Jack’s
class took a field trip the next day to Mayor Smiley’s office and then to the
Daisy Lake and Gill Creek. After they had put up signs at the creek and lake,
everyone in Daisy City pitched in on helping Jack’s class take a field trip to
the Michigan
Lake, and that was the story how Daisy Town became the prettiest Town in the whole wide world.
