The Talking Tree

Once upon a time, there was a young boy named Alex who loved spending time in the park near his house. One day, while Alex was playing, he heard a soft voice coming from a nearby tree. To his surprise, the tree could talk! The talking tree introduced itself as Tully and told Alex about the importance of respecting nature and taking care of the environment.

Excited about his new friend, Alex spent hours talking to Tully. Tully taught him how trees, plants, and animals all worked together to create a balanced ecosystem. They explained how pollution and littering harm the environment and the creatures that live in it. Alex realized that he needed to do something to help.

Together, Alex and Tully came up with a plan. They decided to organize a clean-up day at the park, where they would inspire others to join them in picking up trash and recycling. They made posters and distributed them all around the neighborhood, spreading the word about their mission to take care of nature.
