NAME:

the garbage dump

Mr. Dino, the campsite manager, is on his way to work. Finally, his ankle is better.
He sees a candy wrapper on the way.
'Someone wasn't thinking, I think,' he sighs and picks it up.
A little further on, he sees another. Not far away, he finds more candy papers.
– This is really a bad sign. Someone just doesn't care about saving our island. - He comments out loud.

He starts to speed up his pace
– I'll find this garbage spreader and I'll make sure it stops! - he says.
He approaches a bend in the path and sees Sujinho, the hyena, with a package of candy. Dirty is about to throw a paper on the way.
- Stop! – Orders Mr. Dino.
Sujinho jumps in fright and turns around.
— Dirty, look what I found along the way, says Mr. Dino seriously, showing Dirty all the candy wrappers.
Sujinho feels guilty and swallows a candy.
“I… I've always done that,” he stutters.
– I know you're far from home, but even so, I don't understand why you want to dump your trash anywhere. It is not pleasant for others to see this. And who should clean up your mess? – Mr. Dino asks.
“I understand what you mean,” Sujinho says fearfully.
– Excuse me, I won't do this anymore.
– I need some help cleaning up the campsite today… – Mr. Dino insinuates.
– I'll help! – Sujinho answers – I learned my lesson.
