Environment Bug and the Earth Day Concert Cleanup
“Tomorrow is Earth Day, and we’re having a special concert in this park,” said Billy Troll, looking around at the littered grass. “But the park is full of trash! We can’t have a concert with all this mess.”
Just then, Environment Bug buzzed over, his antennae twitching with concern.
“I see the trash all over the park,” Environment Bug said. “I’ll start cleaning up from the back of the park while you two handle the front. Together, we’ll make it spotless!”
“That’s a wonderful idea,” said Dianne, Billy’s wife. “Let’s grab some bags and clean it up together.”
“But you have things to do for the concert,” Billy reminded her.
“I’ll help you clean if you help me with my tasks,” Dianne replied with a smile.
“Deal!” exclaimed Billy. “What else needs to be done?”
“I want to invite Mick Troll to play music with you at the concert,” said Dianne, her eyes shining with hope. “It might end your silly feud.”
Mick Troll was jealous of Billy because he was a famous singer.
“That’s a great idea!” agreed Billy. “It’s time for us to be friends and make music together.”
At the other end of the park, Environment Bug was already hard at work. He saw Mick Troll trying to make more mess.
“Mick, this is wrong!” Environment Bug scolded him. “Billy’s concert will raise money to keep our park beautiful. How can we do that with all this trash?”
Mick felt bad when he realized his mistake.
“What can I do to fix it?” asked Mick, his voice filled with regret.
“We need to clean up fast!” said Environment Bug, handing him a bag.
So Mick and Environment Bug cleaned from one side of the park, while Billy and Dianne cleaned from the other side until they met in the middle.
“Wow! Thank you for helping,” said Billy happily when he saw them.
“I’m sorry I made such a mess,” confessed Mick.
“It looks like you really are sorry,” observed Dianne kindly, seeing the regret in Mick’s eyes..
“The back part is tidy now!” announced Environment Bug, buzzing with pride.
“Thank you both so much,” said Billy gratefully. “But let’s stop being jealous now.”
“Yes, I’m truly sorry,” admitted Mick shyly. “Let’s make music instead of arguing.”
“That sounds perfect!” exclaimed Billy Troll as they shook hands warmly. “Would you be interested in singing with me at the concert tomorrow?”
“I think that would be a wonderful way to bury the hatchet,’ said Mick. “And what about our friend here?”
“Environment Bug deserves something special too,” declared Dianne thoughtfully. “Since it’s Earth Day, why don’t you introduce everyone at the concert?”
Environment Bug beamed with joy at such an exciting idea!
