Mother, Why?
Join Alex, a curious eight-year-old, on an enlightening journey through a park where they encounter the effects of pollution and noise. Alex's quest for understanding leads to a profound discovery about how small actions can make a big difference.
Alex and Mom were walking through their favorite park when Alex stopped abruptly, staring at a statue. - Mom, why does this statue look so old and broken? And why do the trees look sick after the rain? asked Alex. The park was usually a place of joy, but today it seemed different. Raindrops fell softly, making the surroundings appear even more worn. This discovery sparked a flurry of questions in Alex's mind.
Mom crouched down beside Alex, pointing towards the grey sky. - That’s because of something called acid rain, Mom said. - Acid rain? Alex asked, puzzled. - Yes, it happens when pollution from cars and factories mixes with clouds. Alex looked around, noticing factories and cars in the distance for the first time.
Mom explained how tiny gases from burning fuels float into the sky and mix with cloud water. - So, it's like the clouds are getting dirty? Alex asked, trying to understand. - Exactly, and then that dirty rain falls back to the ground, Mom replied. This made Alex think of all the times they played in the rain, now wondering if it was safe. Alex felt a strong urge to find a way to stop this.
Alex felt overwhelmed by the thought of acid rain damaging nature and history. - That sounds bad! What can we do to stop it? asked Alex, feeling hopeless. The problem seemed too big and complicated for an eight-year-old to solve. The weight of the world seemed to rest on Alex's small shoulders. For a moment, Alex thought about giving up on finding a solution.
Mom gave Alex a reassuring smile, pointing to a bus and a bicycle with clear skies above. - We can help by using cleaner energy, riding bikes instead of cars, and turning off lights when we don’t need them, Mom suggested. Alex's eyes lit up with new determination. - We can do that! exclaimed Alex, realizing that small changes could make a big difference. It was a breakthrough moment that reignited Alex's curiosity and hope.
With newfound determination, Alex and Mom discussed ways to make their community cleaner and quieter. - We can plant trees and ride bikes more often, Alex said excitedly. - Yes, if we all do small things, we can make the world a better place, Mom agreed. They decided to start by planting a tree together in the park. As they worked, Alex felt proud and hopeful, knowing they were making a difference.
