Hi there! I'm Tariq

طارق فتى ذكي ومبدع في الثانية عشرة من عمره، يرتدي نظارات تبدو دائمًا ملتوية بعض الشيء، وحقيبة ظهر مليئة بكتب العلوم. يتمتع بعقل فضولي وصوت هادئ، مستعد دائمًا لشرح آلية عمل الأشياء. يعشق طارق إجراء التجارب وإيجاد حلول منطقية للمشاكل الكبيرة. شغفه بحماية الطبيعة لا يضاهيه إلا إخلاصه لأصدقائه، وغالبًا ما تُسهم أفكاره في تحويل خططهم إلى أفعال.

Hi there! I'm Emma, the animal lover

Emma is a cheerful and compassionate twelve-year-old girl with a gentle smile and a heart full of love for animals. She always carries a small notebook where she draws the creatures she hopes to protect one day as a wildlife vet. Emma is full of energy and always the first to volunteer for clean-ups or tree-planting. Her kindness and optimism bring balance to the group, and she reminds everyone why their mission to protect the environment truly matters.

Lina and the Forest's Secret

في بلدة غرينليف الهادئة، الواقعة بين تلال متدحرجة ونهر أزرق متلألئ، عاشت لينا ووترز، فتاة في الثانية عشرة من عمرها. لم تكن لينا كغيرها من الأطفال، فبينما كان معظم زملائها في الصف منشغلين بهواتفهم وألعاب الفيديو، كانت تقضي وقتها في تسلق الأشجار، وإطعام الطيور، ورسم الزهور البرية في دفترها عن الطبيعة. كانت تؤمن بأن الأرض صديق حي، وليست مجرد مكان للعيش.

كانت لينا تذهب إلى المدرسة سيرًا على الأقدام كل يوم عبر طريق الصفصاف، وهو مسار في الغابة تصطف على جانبيه الأشجار القديمة والجداول المغنية.

One spring morning, as she followed the trail, she noticed something that made her stop: trash. Bottles, food wrappers, even an old tire littered the forest floor. The stream she loved had a strange smell, and the fish she used to feed bread crumbs to were gone.

Lina’s heart sank. She knelt down, picking up a soda can. “What’s happening to my forest?” she whispered.

Chapter one

في ذلك المساء، التقت لينا بأعزّ أصدقائها، طارق، عبقري العلوم المحب للكيمياء، وإيما، التي كانت تحلم بأن تصبح طبيبة بيطرية للحياة البرية. أخبرتهم لينا بما رأته.

قال طارق: "هذا أمر خطير. قد يكون مصدر هذا التلوث من المنبع. بل قد يكون صناعيًا."

لا يمكننا تجاهل الأمر، أضافت إيما. «إذا لم نتحرك الآن، فستغادر جميع الحيوانات، أو الأسوأ من ذلك، ستموت».

Together, they decided to form a group: The Green Guardians. Their mission was simple but powerful: protect the environment, educate the community, and save their future.

They started small. Each weekend, they cleaned up the forest, picking up trash and recycling what they could. They made signs from old cardboard that read “Protect What You Love” and “Nature Is Our Home.” Soon, other students joined them. They planted trees, created a butterfly garden, and even held a “zero-waste” school lunch day.

But the pollution in the river kept getting worse.

بعد أسابيع من الاكتشاف، اكتشف طارق اكتشافًا مفاجئًا. قال في ظهيرة أحد الأيام، مشيرًا إلى خريطة في مرآب لينا، الذي أصبح الآن مقرًا لهما سريًا: "تتبع مسار لستة الرئيس ترامب المنبع. ويتخيلوا ماذا؟ يمر النهر خلف مصنع بلينتكو للصناعات، المصنع الذي يمتلكه السيد بلينت".

"السيد بلينت؟" قالت إيما بدهشة. "إنه رجل أغنى في المدينة. تبرع بصالة الألعاب الرياضية بالمدرسة!"

ببساطة لينا. "هذا لا يعني أنه يستطيع تحريك الفعل."

زاروا المصنع من مسافة آمنة. دخان رمادي كثيف من المداخن. تسربت مياه قذرة من أنابيب صدئة إلى جدول صغير يؤدي إلى النهر. التقطوا صورًا وتحكموا من الماء. فحص طارق المياه، ووجد أنها مليئة بالمواد الكيميائية.

The night after discovering the pollution, Lina lay awake staring at the ceiling. She couldn’t forget the sight of the sick river, the fish that had vanished, or the strange smell of the stream that still lingered in her nose. A new weight pressed on her chest — the weight of responsibility.

Chapter Two: Secrets of the Factory

The next morning, the Green Guardians gathered in Lina’s garage. The old wooden table had turned into a command center, covered with maps, water samples, Emma’s sketches, and pages of research printed by Tarek.

Tarek pointed to a hand-drawn map with slightly shaky lines.
"The factory is old. Its drainage pipes run directly from the back of the building into the stream — no real filtration system. I think we need to see the place for ourselves."

Emma raised her eyebrows in surprise.
"You mean… sneak in?"

Tarek smiled lightly. "Not sneaking. Field research. Scientific."

Lina chuckled. "Nature doesn't wait for permission, Emma. If we want the truth, we have to look for it."

That evening, they dressed in dark clothes. Tarek clipped a small flashlight to his jacket. Emma packed her notebook and a pencil, while Lina set her phone to night photography mode. Together, they followed a narrow path behind the hills, leading them to the back side of BlintCo Factory.

One corner of the fence was broken, as if nature itself had opened a way for them. They slipped in quietly, hearts pounding with each step. Between trees and massive metal pipes, they saw what Lina had feared.

From one of the pipes, dark water was leaking into the small stream. It gave off a sharp, chemical odor — like strong cleaner mixed with something unknown. The ground around the pipe was soaked with a bluish-gray slime, and nearby leaves had melted into mush.

Lina whispered, “This… is poison.”

Tarek pulled out his phone and took clear photos of the pipe and the leaking liquid. He moved toward an old control panel and recorded the irregular numbers on its dials. “These pressure readings are off. It looks like they’re dumping waste at night.”

Emma was sketching quickly, capturing everything with sharp, focused eyes. But suddenly, a side door of the factory swung open, casting a yellow beam of light across the ground.

Guardians of Nature Protect the Future!

After school, five friends — Elif, Hasine, Medine, Ebrar, and Nida — walk toward the old stone cabin near the edge of the forest. Suddenly, a strange light appears in the sky. The light slowly floats down and surrounds them with sparkling rainbow dust.

 Elif (in awe): “It’s like a rainbow… but it’s on the ground!”

Magically, glowing bracelets appear on their wrists. A voice echoes from the bracelets:
Voice: “Are you ready to protect the future, Guardians of Nature?”

They open their eyes and find themselves in a glowing forest where the trees stretch up to the sky. A bright green figure appears — the Spirit of Nature, known as Mother Earth.

 Mother Earth: “Children, nature is crying out for help. It is being polluted and wasted every day. The future depends on you.”

 Hasine: “Tell us what we must do!”

Mother Earth gives them five missions that must be completed in the real world:

Mission 1: Raise environmental awareness

Mission 2: Clean nature

Mission 3: Promote recycling

Mission 4: Practice zero waste

Mission 5: Leave hope for the future

 Mother Earth: “These bracelets will guide you. But remember — your heart is your true power.”

Suddenly, the girls are back on the school road. Everything seems normal… yet more vibrant. Their bracelets still glow faintly.

 Nida: “That wasn’t a dream. We’ve been chosen!”

 Medine: “Let’s start our first mission!”

The next day, they hang colorful posters near sockets and sinks in the classroom:

 “Protect energy, protect the planet!”

 “Every drop counts!”

 “Recycling is the key to the future!”

 Ebrar: “People will think twice when they see these.”

They create large bulletin boards in the school hallways with slogans like “Clean Earth, Bright Future” and “Zero Waste, Zero Problem.” The girls add drawings of trees, animals, and recycling bins.

 Elif: “If we can see it every day, we’ll never forget it.”

Passersby cause their bracelets to glow faintly. Something is changing.
