Once upon a time, there was a place where litter and rubbish were scattered everywhere. People would simply throw their trash on the ground without a second thought. But one day, a litter basket appeared in the middle of the town square.

Everyone started using it to throw their litter inside. They counted how many pieces of rubbish they threw into the basket each day. It was amazing to see how the number of pieces decreased as people started being more conscious about keeping the place clean.

The people decided to cover the basket every night to keep the wind from spreading the rubbish around. They also made sure that the basket was always emptied so that it could be used again the next day.

And thus, the place became cleaner and more beautiful. The people learned that by taking care of their litter and rubbish, they could create a better environment for themselves and others. The end.
