A Clean Park

Jumpy monkey went to the park daily to play. On a holiday, he used to leave the house early in the morning, and on school days, he went after school.

A Clean Park

Jumpy 's friends, Tarry frog and Danny deer, also came to play in the park as it was huge and open. Apart from the kids, adults went there to stroll or exercise and practice yoga.

At times, Jumpy and his friends used to play games like chasing each other or badminton and hide and seek.

Everything was fine in the park except that it wasn't clean. There was litter banana peels, everywhere-wrappers, groundnut shells along with other garbage.

Many a time, Jumpy thought of cleaning the park with his friends. But then he thought that if no one else was initiating it, why should he make the first move?

One day Jumpy's friend, Coco crane came to meet him from another jungle. Jumpy was very happy to see his friend, and Coco told him many stories about his jungle.

On Sunday, Jumpy got ready to go to the park.

"Where are you headed so early in the morning?" Coco asked.

"Coco, I'm going to the park. My friends play different games there," Jumpy said.

"Okay, that sounds like fun," Coco said.

"Yes, Coco," Jumpy agreed.
