Once upon a time the Earth was littered everywhere. The air was polluted and
smoky, people were not healthy and the seas were filled with plastic. The Earth was
becoming a miserable place to live on. The Angels from above were watching this
slow destruction. They were outraged. One of the angels said” What are they doing
to this planet!” Another angel said “We should do something about this”. They all
gathered and held a meeting. All of them said we do not have a plan. It took them a
while before they came up with an idea to stop the pollution. They decided to come
to the Earth in the form of humans. They picked up garbage and started cleaning the
roads. They also cleaned up the seas. All of the humans were puzzled to see this.
Finally, the humans asked” Why are you cleaning up?”. The angels answered” The
Earth will be destroyed if we don’t. Will you join us?”. The humans agreed and
started cleaning up too and made this planet what it is now. Although we could
definitely use the Angels’ help once more.
