Once upon a time, in a small, sunny village, there lived four little boys. Their names were Tom, Ben, Max, and Leo. They loved to play outside every day.

One morning, Tom said, "Let's go to the park!"

"Yes, the park!" Ben, Max, and Leo shouted happily.

Off they went, skipping down the road. The sun was shining, and the birds were singing.

When they reached the park, they saw something new. There was a big sign. It said, "Please keep our park clean. Love the Earth."

Tom looked at the sign and said, "What does it mean?"

Ben said, "I think it means we should pick up trash."

Max nodded, "Yes, pick up trash. Keep the park clean."

Leo clapped his hands, "Let's do it!"

The boys started to look around. They saw a can on the ground. Tom picked it up.

"Good job, Tom!" said Ben.

Next, Ben found a piece of paper. He picked it up too.

"Well done, Ben!" said Max.

Max saw a bottle and picked it up.

"Great work, Max!" said Leo.

Leo found a plastic bag. He picked it up and smiled.

"Nice, Leo!" said Tom.

The boys put all the trash in the trash bin. They looked around. The park was clean and bright.

"It's so nice now!" said Tom.

"Yes, very nice," said Ben.

"We did it together!" said Max.

"Together is the best!" said Leo.

The boys felt happy. They learned that keeping the park clean helped the Earth.

"We love our park," said Tom.

"We love our Earth," said Ben.

"Let's always keep it clean," said Max.

"Yes, always," said Leo.

The sun shone down, and the park was happy too. The boys played and played, feeling proud.

From that day on, Tom, Ben, Max, and Leo always remembered to pick up trash and keep their park clean. They knew that small actions make the Earth smile.

And they lived happily ever after, loving their clean, bright park.
