A VISIT TO THE PARK

One bright sunny morning, Hamza and Abdullah decide to go to their neighborhood park. It is Sunday and both friends are in high spirits. They stop outside the pork to buy some ice cream from a small shop near the gate. They then enter the park happily eating and chatting, until...

Abdullah: You should not throw your ice cream wrapper on the ground, Hamza!

Hamza: Why shouldn't I? Everyone else throws trash around here.

Abdullah: If we want a clean and beautiful Pakistan, we should try and make it one.
