Emma and the Plastic Mystery
In the heart of a lush, green jungle where countless animals lived in harmony, there was a cheerful deer named Emma. Emma was known by all for her kindness, helpful nature, and playful spirit. One sunny afternoon, Emma was playing with her two best friends—Lilly the clever fox and Zoey the energetic zebra. They were playing hide-and-seek near the riverbank when Emma stumbled upon something odd.
It was shiny, crinkly, and looked completely out of place in the jungle. She held it up, puzzled. “What could this be?” she wondered aloud.
Lilly and Zoey ran over to see what she had found. They poked at it, sniffed it, and turned it over a few times. “No idea,” said Lilly, scratching her head. “It looks like some human stuff,” added Zoey.
Not knowing what it was, the trio decided to ask the wisest animal in the jungle—Leo the lion, the king of the jungle. Leo was not only strong and brave but also known for his great knowledge about the world.They carefully carried the strange item to Leo’s den. “Good afternoon, King Leo!” They greeted each other in unison.
Leo looked up with a warm smile. “Hello, my young friends. What brings you here?” Emma placed the object in front of him. “We found this near the river. What is it?” Leo examined it closely. “Ah, this is a plastic bag,” he said with a serious tone. “A plastic bag?” repeated Lilly and Zoey, puzzled. “Yes,” Leo replied. “Plastic is something humans made. It doesn’t belong to nature. It pollutes the Earth and harms both animals and the environment.”
The three friends were shocked. “We had no idea !” exclaimed Emma.
“Since you three care so much about the environment, would you help me? I have a special task for you” he said. “I want you to find the humans who are littering and give them this important message: ‘Dear humans, please save our planet Earth and stop harming our environment by using plastic materials.’ Spread this message to everyone you know, said the lion.
The three friends set off on their mission. It was tough—hours of searching with no sign of humans. Just as they were about to take a break, they heard a strange crunching noise.
“What’s that sound?” asked Zoey.“It’s coming from behind the bushes,” said Lilly. They tiptoed over and peeked through the leaves. There, having a picnic were three campers, with plastic wrappers scattered around them. Emma stepped forward bravely and delivered Leo’s message.
The campers looked surprised—and ashamed. “We didn’t realize we were causing harm,” one of them said. “We promise to clean up and never litter again.” As the sun began to set, the three friends returned to Leo and told him everything. Leo was proud. “You’ve done a wonderful job. Now let’s keep spreading this message far and wide.”And so, the animals of the jungle became Earth’s little heroes, working together to protect the planet one step at a time.
