Once upon a time, there was a little organism named Gilly. Gilly lived in a big ecosystem filled with plants, animals and all sorts of creatures. One day, Gilly was strolling through the forest when she saw a strange glare coming from a nearby tree. She went to investigate and found that it was a fossil fuel! But wait, how did a fossil fuel end up in the forest?

Gilly soon realized that the resource was not meant to be there and it was causing harm to the ecosystem. So she rallied all the organisms and started a mission to clean up the mess. They worked together to remove the fossil fuel and replace it with antifreeze, which was much more durable and wouldn't harm the environment.

The plants were happy too because now they could absorb more chlorophyll and grow bigger and stronger. The animals adapted to their new surroundings and life in the ecosystem was back to normal. And when it was time for Gilly and her friends to decompose, they did so peacefully, becoming nutrients for the next generation of organisms.

And that's the story of how Gilly and her friends saved their ecosystem and showed that even the smallest organism can make a big difference!

Reflections

1. What problem did Gilly and her friends face in the ecosystem?
2. How did they solve the problem?
3. Why was antifreeze a better choice than fossil fuel?
4. How did the plants benefit from the change?
5. What can we learn from Gilly's story about taking care of our environment?
