Yash Talwar, Class VIII F
It is summer time. Children enjoy this time the most as they spend their summer holidays with friends and relatives. They also visit their grandparents.
Rahul also decided to visit his grandma’s house. He was excited as he was going to meet his old friends after a long time.
The next morning Rahul reached Bhopal where his grandparents lived. In front of their house, there was a beautiful garden. Rahul and his friends used to meet there to play many games. But this time, when he entered the garden, he saw wrappers, bits of paper, polythene bags scattered all around. He was very upset to see the condition of the garden.
When Rahul met his friends, they told him that they don’t play in the garden anymore. He decided that something needed to be done. He quickly brought a broom and a dustpan from his house and started cleaning the garden.
The other kids started laughing at Rahul. One of the friends said, “Rahul, this garden is very big and quite dirty; you alone can’t clean it.” Rahul said, “Yes Raghav, you are right, but still, I am doing my bit.”
When the kids heard this, they felt ashamed of themselves and joined Rahul in cleaning the garden.
Rahul’s action also teaches us that we must do what we believe in even if everyone, including our friends, laugh at us.
