A Cloud Of Trash
Author - Karanjeet Kaur
Cheekoo was the unhappiest girl among her friends.
She was certainly the unhappiest girl in her entire class.
She was perhaps
the unhappiest girl in the world.
Friends?
Cheekoo had no friends anymore.
No one wanted to play with Cheekoo.
Because she had a cloud hanging over her head.
A cloud of TRASH.
Orange peels
and biscuit packets,
Broken toys and pencil shavings,
Twisted plastic bottles and
colourful plastic bags,
All surrounded
by a swarm of buzzing flies.
No one wanted to play with a girl
No one wanted to play with a girl
who had a cloud of trash hanging over her.
who had a cloud of trash hanging over her.
What if a rotten banana peel
fell on your head?
YUCK!
Cheekoo couldn’t even play hide-and-seek anymore.
The cloud would always give her away.
“Let’s walk to school together,” she said to Sona.
Sona ran off in the opposite direction.
“May I borrow your pencil sharpener?”
she asked Sweety.
Sweety made a face
and changed her seat
to go sit with Asha.
Cheekoo even had to eat her lunch alone.
Cheekoo knew
that she should have listened to her Amma.
Amma always told her not to litter.
Amma always told her not to litter.
“Don’t throw the banana peel on the road!”
“Throw the empty biscuit packet in the dustbin.”
But Cheekoo never listened.
She only laughed and kept littering.
Then one day,
Amma became very angry.
“Soon, all this trash will start following you!” she said.
Cheekoo just laughed.
The next morning,
Cheekoo woke up to a foul smell
Cheekoo woke up to a foul smell
and the sound of buzzing flies. [SM1]
The cloud of trash was hanging over her head.
Amma’s words had come true!
And then,
Cheekoo was unable to laugh.
Cheekoo tried to run away.
But the trash cloud
followed her everywhere.
Cheekoo took a broom
to sweep the cloud down.
But the trash could not be swept away.
Cheekoo tried EVERYTHING.
She screamed
and asked the cloud to leave her alone.
She even tried throwing the cloud into the dustbin.
But the cloud of trash just wouldn’t go.
So Cheekoo became very unhappy.
Then something happened!
Cheekoo saw Bala
throwing a banana peel on the road.
Cheekoo was annoyed.
Could he not see the cloud over her head?
“Oye silly boy!” she yelled.
“Don’t throw the peel on the road.
Someone will slip!”
Bala, scared of the trash cloud,
threw the peel in the dustbin.
The next day, the trash cloud
had become smaller!
“How did that happen?”
Cheekoo wondered.
Then, Cheekoo saw Reema Aunty
throwing away plastic bags.
“Aunty!” Cheekoo said.
“Please pick up these bags
and reuse them.”
Reema Aunty picked up the bags
and left.
The next day when Cheekoo woke up,
the cloud was much smaller.
Cheekoo smiled.
She knew what she had to do.
When someone threw away a biscuit packet
or pencil shavings,
Cheekoo stopped them.
She picked up every twisted plastic bottle
and put it in the dustbin.
The village became cleaner and cleaner.
And Cheekoo’s cloud became smaller
and smaller.
Until one day, it was gone.
COMPLETELY gone.
Cheekoo was now perhaps
the happiest girl in the world.
Cheekoo never littered again.
Secretly,
she liked living in a clean village.
But she was also scared that the trash cloud
would come back, some day.
Who knew!
