How Tanvir and Pari Learned the Value of Not Wasting Food and Respecting Nature
Tanvir and Pari, two adventurous kids from the scenic town of Venora, loved trekking. Every weekend, they went on thrilling treks with their parents, Siri and Veer. Trekking was more than just a hike for Tanvir and Pari—it was a race! Pari, always eager to reach the top first, would sprint ahead, while Tanvir tried to keep up. Pari loved capturing their adventures with her camera, always excited to show her friends that she “won” the race.
But despite their love for trekking, there was a problem: Tanvir and Pari were careless about littering. Chocolate wrappers, biscuit crumbs, and even bits of food often ended up scattered along the trails. Their parents worried about two things: the kids running too fast on dangerous paths, and the mess they left behind. Siri and Veer often had to pick up the litter as they trailed behind.
Determined to teach their children the importance of respecting nature and the consequences of wasting food, Veer came up with an idea: a “House Trek Adventure.” He spent a week preparing the rooftop, transforming it into a mini-wilderness complete with tents, potted plants, dried leaves, and a “river” made from water hoses. The rooftop looked like a real campsite, and Siri was amazed at Veer’s creativity
On Friday evening, Veer announced to Tanvir and Pari, “This weekend, we’re going trekking… on the rooftop!” The kids were thrilled, and when they saw the setup, they couldn’t believe their eyes. “Wow! It looks like a real forest!” Pari exclaimed, snapping photos with her camera.
Veer handed them a bag of chocolates, biscuits, and other treats. The kids eagerly dove in, tossing wrappers and leaving half-eaten snacks on the ground, just as they did on their treks. Siri and Veer silently observed, resisting the urge to clean up after them.
Later that night, exhausted from their "house trek," Tanvir and Pari fell asleep under the stars on their sleeping bags. But in the middle of the night, Pari woke up to a sharp pinch on her toe. “Ow!” she cried, rubbing her foot. When she looked around, she saw ants crawling all over her sleeping bag and cockroaches nibbling on the leftover food.
“Mom! Dad! Help!” she shrieked, waking Tanvir, who was horrified to see the insects and began to cry.
Siri and Veer, prepared for this moment, calmly approached. Veer knelt down and asked, “Do you see what’s happened here?”
Tanvir, wiping his tears, nodded. “The ants and cockroaches came because of the food we left out.”
“That’s right,” Siri said. “When you leave wrappers and food around, insects come looking for it. It’s the same on our real treks. If we don’t keep nature clean, we’re inviting pests and damaging the environment.”
Veer added, “By respecting nature and cleaning up after ourselves, we keep it beautiful and safe for everyone.”
Pari’s eyes widened with understanding. “So if we don’t litter, we’re protecting nature and ourselves?”
“Exactly,” Veer said with a smile. “Every time we leave trash behind, we harm nature and risk attracting unwanted visitors.”
From that day on, Tanvir and Pari became champions of clean trekking. They made sure never to litter, always picked up any waste, and stopped wasting food. On every hike, they looked out for litter and cleaned it up, helping keep their trails and environment beautiful.
Moral of the Story: Show respect for nature by never littering, and avoid food waste to keep our planet safe and clean.
