Where Does It Go?

Jamila loved playing in the park with her friends. One sunny day, she noticed a water bottle left on the ground. It made her wonder, “Where does it go?” Jamila wanted to find out, but she didn't know where to start. She felt it was unfair that water bottles just lay around, hurting the earth. She decided to solve this mystery and make things right.

Jamila picked up the bottle and asked her mom, " - What happens to this bottle next?" Her mom said, " - It should be recycled, but it takes a journey first." Jamila was excited to learn more, but she didn't know where to find more information. She felt stuck because she couldn't find anyone who knew about recycling. It was her first obstacle in solving the mystery.

Jamila asked her teacher at school, " - How can I learn about recycling?" The teacher said, " - We will visit a recycling center soon." But Jamila had to wait, and waiting was hard. She also tried to read a book about recycling but found the words too tricky. It seemed like every step she took led to another obstacle.

Jamila felt she would never solve the mystery of the water bottle. " - Maybe I'm just too young to understand," she sighed. She thought about giving up her quest. The problem felt too big for her small hands. But deep down, she knew she had to keep trying for the earth.

One day, Jamila's grandpa, a wise man, visited her. " - I heard you're curious about recycling," he said with a smile. He explained how recycling turns old things into new treasures. " - Small actions, like picking up a bottle, help keep the earth clean," he told her. Jamila suddenly saw how she could make a difference.

With new determination, Jamila organized a recycling day at the park. All her friends joined in, and they collected lots of bottles. " - We did it!" she cheered. Jamila learned that justice for the earth starts with simple actions. She was proud to be part of something bigger, helping the planet one bottle at a time.
