The Clean Park
Tyler asked his mom if he could ride his bike to the
park. “As long as you wear your helmet when you are
riding,” she said.
When Tyler got to the park it was filled with people
holding garbage bags. A lot of his friends were there
and so were some of his teachers. His friend Bella
said, “Everyone is pitching in and cleaning the park
today.” She asked Tyler if he would help. Tyler said,
“Sure,” and asked for a garbage bag.
There was garbage everywhere. Tyler picked up
candy wrappers, juice pouches, newspap ers and
apple cores. It was really gross.
After an hour, he had filled
three garbage bags. His
friends filled a lot of
garbage bags too.

When everyone was finished, one of the teachers
loaded the filled garbage bags into his pick -up truck
to take them to the dump. The park looked great.
They put up signs around the park that read, “Please
place garbage in garbage cans and help keep the
park clean.”
The teachers bought pizza and lemonade for
everyone who helped clean the park. After they ate,
Tyler and his friends made sure to put their garbage
into the garbage cans.

The Camping Trip
Lily and her brother Ryan went camping with their
mom and dad. Ryan and Dad set up the tent while
Lily and Mom collected sticks to start a bonfire.
Once the tent was set up, they started a fire in the
bonfire pit. Lily and Ryan looked for long pointy sti cks
to use for cooking hot dogs over the fire while the fire
was heating up. They found four perfect sticks, one
for each of them.
Lily and Ryan, and their
mom and dad, each
placed two hot dogs on
their sticks. They held
the hot dogs over the
fire and turned the sticks
slowly so every side of each hot dog was cooked.
Then they put the hot dogs into buns and added
ketchup and mustard. The hot dogs were delicious.
