That was her dad’s birthday,
Due to some business reasons…
…he was away.
He got a contract of construction,
For which he needed deforestation.
Mini heard and felt pity,
As trees was the glory of the city.
Trees are vital for environment,
It makes the atmosphere pleasant.
Her teacher taught this in science lesson,
Now it was time to take action.
Mini decided to decorate her home,
But this time in a different form.
She brought some small pots of flowers,
Arrayed it all over and it took her hours.
Finally, she hung the last one at the door,
Ah! It was looking nice, she adored.
She tucked a note in it which read:
“Happy birthday and welcome home dad.
Please don’t cut the trees as…
…they’re beauty of nature.
It will make the environment clean and…
…freshen up our future.”
