A Cloud of Trash Story | 3rd English Term 3 Unit 3 | Places in my Town

Story: A Cloud of Trash

3rd English: Term 3 Unit 3: Places in my Town

Let us learn: A Cloud of Trash

Charu was a smart and bright girl. She always was kind to all but, she was the unhappiest girl among her friends. She was certainly the unhappiest girl in her entire class. She was perhaps the unhappiest girl in the world, or at least that's what she felt.

What about her friends?

Charu had no friends any more. No one wanted to play with Charu, because she had a cloud hanging over her head.

The cloud had orange peels and biscuit packets, broken toys and pencil shavings, twisted plastic bottles and colourful plastic bags. All surrounded by a swarm or buzzing flies.

Nobody wanted to play with a girl who had a cloud of trash hanging over her. What if a rotten banana peel fell on your head? YUCK!

Charu couldn't even play hide-and seek any more. The cloud would always give her away. "Let's walk to school together," she said to Sona. Sona ran off in the opposite direction.

She asked, "May I borrow your pencil?"

Jancy made a face and changed her seat to go sit with Asha

Charu even had to eat her lunch alone,

Charu knew that she should have listened to her Amma. Amma always told her not to litter.

"Don't throw the banana peel on the road"

"Throw the empty biscuit packet in the dustbin"

But, Charu never listened. She only laughed and kept littering. She did not care about her surroundings.

Then one day, Amma became very angry and said, "Soon, all this trash will start following you!"

Charu just laughed.

The next morning, Charu woke up to a foul smell and the sound of buzzing flies. A cloud of trash was hanging over her head Amma's words had come true!

Charu tried to run away, but the trash cloud followed her everywhere.

She tried to sweep the cloud down with a broom, only to find the cloud over her head.

Charu tried EVERYTHING.

She screamed and asked the cloud to leave her alone. She even tried to throw it into the dustbin, but it just wouldn't go. So, Charu became very unhappy. Then something happened! Charu saw Bala throwing a banana peel on the road near the park.

Charu was annoyed.

Could he not see the cloud over her head?

She yelled, "Don't throw the peel on the road. Someone will slip!"

Bala, scared of the trash cloud, threw the peel in the dustbin.

The next day, the trash cloud had become smaller!

"How did that happen?" Charu wondered.

Then, Charu saw Amutha Aunty throwing away plastic bags near the hospital.

"Aunty!" Charu said. "Please pick up these bags. I am sure you can reuse them."

Amutha aunty picked up the bags and left.

The next day when Charu woke up, the cloud was much smaller. Charu smiled. She knew what she had to do.

When someone threw away a biscuit packet or pencil shavings in the school, Charu stopped them.

She picked up every twisted plastic bottle near the hotel and put it in the dustbin.

The village became cleaner and cleaner, and Charu's cloud became smaller and smaller.

Until one day, it had gone.

COMPLETELY GONE !

Charu was now perhaps the happiest girl in the world.

Charu never littered again. Secretly, she liked having the village clean. But, she was also scared that the trash cloud would come back, some day.

Who knew!

Do you litter things in your village?

"Now, watch out! Here they come!

" WHOOSH! THUD!

"Now, let us take the husk off!"

CRANK! The lever of the machine rang!

"GRRRRRR!"

This was Sabari's tummy not the lever. Ammachi giggled.

"Then we crack the shell with the cleaver. Like THIS!"

KHATAK!

"And grate the fruit!"

“KRRRRRRR!”

"Toss it into the pan with sugar and all the other things!" said Ammachi.

"It smells SO good, Ammachi!" said Sabari.

"Then we pour it all out on to a tray. Let us wait for it to cool."

I will come with you to cut the tree.

That night, the angel came in the king’s dream

My lord! I am the angel of the tree. I am home to many birds. There are many birds. There are many small trees near me. Also, many come and rest in my shade. Please do not cut me.

Your word is very good. I have to cut you.

Why do you say so?

Okay. Then, cut me when it rains. Cut me in three parts; first my leaves, then my branches and then my trunk.

If you cut me only one time, then I may crush the birds and small trees. If I fall in three parts, then some of them will live.

Don't cut the tree. We should save all the trees. I will build my palace with rocks.

The Coconut Grove | 3rd English Prose | Term 3 Unit 1

Prose: The Coconut Grove

3rd English: Term 3 Unit 1: Trip to the store

Iniya was a little girl with big brown eyes. She lived with her parents in a beautiful coconut grove, next to a small blue lake. She helped her parents by the lake, went to school and then, spent time with them only to wake up the next day.

Each day, she balanced a big empty basket on her head as she walked down to the lake. Her mother followed with the laundry, and her father brought the big fishing net.

Her mother washed the clothes on a stone next to the lake, while her father went fishing. He dragged the net to the shore, and they collected the fish in a big basket.

Sometimes a turtle got stuck in the net, but Iniya always hurried to save it. One sunny morning while fishing with her father, Iniya said, “Appa, if we catch so many fish, what if one day there is no fish left? “Her mother laughed and sent her off to school.

Under the shade of the trees, Iniya’s mother fell into an uneasy sleep.

She dreamt of a lake with no fish. In her dream, every day the father returned from the lake with no fish and the family could not support itself. The wind then said , “The water and the land have always taken care of your family.so you have to take care of them in return.”

She woke up with tears in her eyes. She didn’t know how to bring up Iniya without selling enough fish.

All afternoon she sat, weaving coconut mats and thinking about her dream. That night, Iniya heard her parents whisper as the oil lamp burned deep into the night.

The next morning, her father gave her a smaller basket.

“How can we carry all the fish in this little basket?” Iniya asked.

We will only take as many fish as will fit inside this basket,” he replied.

“How will this be enough for us?” Iniya Wondered.

When she came back from school, she was happy to find her mother making soap and oil from the coconuts.

Iniya swiftly climbed up a tree to get more coconuts, but her mother said, “Don’t pluck them! We must only use what the tree gives us.”

Her father said, “We have taken only fallen coconuts for making these things. Look, we’ve even made this soap with a jasmine flower inside!”

Iniya learnt a lot about gardening and arts at school. When Iniya grew older, she made coconut fibre packs that could be used to pot plants. She also loved to carve coconuts. She made many toys and idols with fallen coconuts. Her favourite was to carve tiny turtles out of coconut shells. She always wore one around her neck.

Note to the Teacher

Read the story to the children. Encourage them to know the name of the tree and its uses.
