The sun was rising with the melodies of birds and the fragrance of sweet Roses spreading up the air, proving that Nature is wonderful. I was just glancing at this view thinking what would happen if this nature doesn't exist, humans won't survive. Alas !!it gave me a warning that we must protect the nature. I was still in my pyjamas as a five year old kid clinging on the window.


" Christina, ....Christina..." alas!! I felt like somebody is shaking me. It was not anybody but my mother. " What are you dreaming at still in pyjamas..hurry up!! I have told you million times to keep the trash outside by seven o' clock. Now it's 7.15 ..Take this ...Go,"


Oh !!! Wow!! The lecture is finished..Haha.. Haha.. I quickly took the trash and ran out ,actually I never ignore this task. Also, i do it with happiness. Unlike other girls i won't sniffle my nose and check the smell.


From far , I saw the truck.. I waited till the truck arrives and a man got down and bowed his head with a smile and greeted me " Good Morning Madam ..Madam.. actually you do a great task you never throw your trash like in other houses. You have properly packed them and also you handed it over to my hands. But madam in other houses they never do this... they just throw everything infront of their houses ...( in teary eyes) we have to pick them as crows who drags the dustbin in towns for food." 


 " God bless you..madam" and he went away, I couldn't express anything. I just left as I saw a horror movie. I just began to think why people ignore these people?? They do a great service.. we must respect them.. if they are not in service.. whole streets will be a waste land. We will be infected with diseases. Alas!!! Why this people disrespect them.

 With a doubtful mood I went to the house and I had a wash and had my breakfast. The words of the man kept me ringing in my ears. It made me shock and bad of people. I just remembered that I must go to the shop to buy some books .So without wasting my time, I ran down the path.


 On my way, I saw a couple , they were having some chocolates and toffees. Alas!! What did they do ?? They threw away all the wrappers by mocking at the old woman who was sweeping the road in great difficulty. 

 The portrait of this old woman reminds me of my grandma, I just felt how lucky my grandma to be in comfort with all the treats and respect from her daughters,sons and all. Oh!! this poor grandma holding her back with great difficulty tries to pick up the wrappers. I felt soo sympathetic. She may be stricken in poverty. She is also doing service that none of us cannot do. Why these idiots mock at her ?? I felt anger for that couple.


 I had no time to waste , but I helped this grandma by picking some wrappers that were lying on the ground.They were luxurious wrappers but there mind were not luxurious. The old grandma with a great smile on her face said, " Oh!! Madam, God Bless you !! You are an amazing person, if whole world is like this..( in teary face) Madam, there are six empty tummies waiting for me. ( crying ) ..I'm now 70 years old but nothing to do madam..this is fate"


 I felt really shocked , I quickly checked my purse ..Hurray!! There was extra 50 dollars I slowly gave her , her eyes were in bright and her smile grew more brighter than before. I had no more time so I waved my hand and went to the shop and flew home in happiness.


 I took my diary and I started to scribble down the incidents. Just take a moment!! and think of this people , why do we ignore them. If they don't do there services?? What will happen?? ..imagine for two days ..Whole street will be a waste land. Not only that we all be infected with diseases. 


 We must be thankful to all these people who do their service on behalf of us. Let's all pay tribute for them too..they are our work heroes..
