The little boy who wanted to make a change.

Once there was a little Merman called Arman. He was a Merman like any other. He lived in a place under the sea surface called Mastol. He liked to swim and play hide and seek with his friends, Aryan, Mike, Fletcher, Mimosa, Kylie, and Katie.


On the 18th of March, Arman wakes up and rushes up to the surface of the sea. He realises that there was a whole ton of rubbish! He suddenly thought, “How could anyone do this kind of thing, they must be so selfish.” He thought to himself.


A young man walks past the polluted lake and throws a piece of rubbish right at Arman’s face.  “Hey, what the hell do you think you’re doing!!??.” The Young man replies, “what in what in, where do you come from?” says the man. “I’m a Merman man like any other, says Arman. And you, what on earth are you guys doing to our beautiful lake! “Well” says the man, “it’s been like this for a long time and I’m pretty sure you must have realised it a long time ago youngster, anyways that’s enough questions for the day!” “And” he repeats, “that in a couple of months this lake will have vanished! A small shiver runs down Arman’s and disappears into the lake.


“ Where have you been dear we have been looking for you for ages!” “Mum” says Arman. “Do you know that at the surface of the sea there is a lot of rubbish! Her mum replies, “Everyone here in Mastol knows about it dear we’ve had it for a long time now.” “Well I never knew!” said Arman. “Son” says his mother, “we’re not gonna be here for long! In a matter of months we’ll be outta here, because we will never survive with rubbish like this!” “Then where will we live” replies Arman. “We don’t know, this is maybe the end of our lives but we’ve gotta keep fighting to keep living .” That even shock arman so terrified that his body felt numb.


One day On the 20th of march a whole ton of people gathered around the lake throwing half of their rubbish into the lake. Arman rushes back up to the surface of the sea once again and says a small speech to the people who were gathering around the lake.


The large gathering were so surprised and said, “who the hell are you!” “I’m a Merman” says Arman, “like any other,” he repeats out loud. “And I’ve heard rumours about all of you.” “You have been disrespecting this lake and some of the land too!” “You have been littering, throwing rubbish and other stuff into the lake.” “You guys don’t know how selfish you are all.” “You wouldn’t like it if you were a fish and live under the lake and see this disgusting, awful whole lot of rubbish wouldn’t ya!” The gathering nodded back saying they wouldn’t like it at all. “Then why are you doing it to us, says Arman disgracefully, it’s wrong and you have to make a change and think about your actions the next past days!” Says Arman, The crowd replies back, “We don’t like at all but there is no where else to throw our rubbish! Only in the lake!” Arman disappears once again into the lake.
The next day there was even more, more, more and more people from yesterday. The crowd had each a sign saying, “sorry Merman” Like if it was a protest, there was even the Mayor of the city! “Well” Says Arman, could I share you my speech. The crowd nodded back saying yes. “All of us” says Arman! “People, all of us, we’re one big family. The past years we have been littering on this earth which is a problem, especially here! We all have each other, and that our voices can be heard by making a change to littering! We have to keep fighting till the end and that each and one of us are special and that we care in this one and only planet.  God sent us here for this one life opportunity living on this beautiful earth and right now we are not treating the earth in a way that’s nice. We are all being selfish!” Says Arman. “but we can make a change to prevent it, and that we can earn our lives back on this earth for a second time if we do the right thing. We don’t choose how the journey starts, but we do get to choose how the journey ends .” A round of applause collapsed from the crowd and all in happiness and not a single smile raised down from the crowd. Arman suddenly felt proud in every sort of way!


             2 Years Later


Arman and his neighborhood and city have no rubbish now on the top of their sea surface. Arman was so proud that he rewarded something to each of the people in the city.


After Arman and his family and city once lives a happy life again.


The End
