One day, three nature-loving friends went for a walk in the Dream Forest. The trees whispered secrets and butterflies danced around them.

Suddenly, a tiny fairy appeared from an old tree. Her name was Pırpır. "Our forest is in trouble. Will you help us?" she said. "YES!" shouted the friends together.

Pırpır gave them magical seeds. The strong friend dug the soil, the curious friend planted the seeds, the happy friend sang a song. Tiny lights rose from the seeds to the sky.

Months later, they ran to the forest. Green shoots were growing from the burned trees! Birds were singing, butterflies were flying everywhere.

But one night, the forest burned! Firefighters came and put out the fire. The children were very sad but they didn't give up. They collected trash, made posters, and planted new seeds.

IF YOU LOVE NATURE, NATURE LOVES YOU BACK!

 LIVE THE GREEN, PROTECT THE FUTURE! 

An old tree spoke: "You loved nature and protected it. Now we will protect you too."

They returned to the forest with a group of people and cleaned up all the garbage. They apologized to the forest inhabitants and informed them that everyone would be very careful so that they could live in their homes in health and happiness. The wise turtle stepped forward and gave a message to all people: "Remember, those who protect nature protect the future."

THREE FRIENDS OF NATURE

One day, there were three friends living next to a beautiful forest: Ela, Mert and Little Rabbit Fluffy. These three friends loved nature very much. Every morning they would go to the forest together and look at the trees, flowers and animals.

One day, they saw some activity and garbage on the ground. Ella sadly said, 

Nature is like our home. Do we pollute our home?"

Mert shook his head: "No! We will clean our house. Then we should keep nature clean too."The rabbit named Fluffy also collected garbage with its small paths. Three friends threw garbage together.

Ela looked and said: "Look! When nature is cleaned, everyone is happy."      

Mert added: "Trees give us clean air. Flowers make nature beautiful. Animals also live here." Jumping rabbit: "If we protect nature, everyone will be happy!" he said.  From that day on, the three friends were always together.

NATURE IS OUR HOME. IF WE PROTECT NATURE,THE WORD WILL BE A MORE BEATIFUL PLACE.

Help in trouble

A small, curious group of children was walking in the forest and suddenly heard gentle squeaking sounds. They turned around and listened to where they were coming from, and then they noticed a large maple tree. 

A small, curious group of children was walking in the forest and suddenly heard gentle squeaking sounds. They turned around and listened to where they were coming from, and then they noticed a large maple tree. 

 They wondered what to do, and then the little boy suggested running to the firemen they saw at the edge of the forest. He immediately ran and soon returned in the fire engine, with the firemen.  

They set up a ladder, gently took the birds and returned them to the nest. The children were satisfied and thanked the firefighters.  

They wanted to continue their walk through the forest, but a titmouse bird appeared above their heads, chirping and flying happily in circles. The children realized that it was a mother bird and they were very happy and proud that they had saved her chicks.

While the children were thinking, their teacher showed them fruit and vegetable peelings. ‘Do these have to go in the bin?’ she asked. As the children looked on curiously, they learnt something new: these waste products could give nature a new lease of life.

The Secret of Ladybirds

Once upon a time, there were some little children in the Ladybird class who loved nature very much. One day, their teacher asked them:

‘Children, what do you think we can do to protect nature?’

Upon this, the Ladybirds collected the fruit and vegetable scraps they had brought from home in the classroom.

After a while, they went to the school garden with the natural fertiliser they had prepared. They lovingly watered the small saplings they had planted earlier. It was as if the saplings were swaying in the wind, thanking them.

That day, the Ladybirds learned a very important secret:

Protecting nature sometimes begins with a tiny step.

And they all said together:

‘Live green, protect the future!’

 One day, the children were playing in the garden of Little Forest School. Suddenly, they saw plastic bottles, paper, and boxes on the ground. The forest looked very sad. The trees seemed to be whispering, “Protect us!”

Elif said, “We can save nature!”

Ali asked, “How?”

Elif smiled: “By recycling!”

The children immediately got to work. They put the paper in one box, the plastic in another box, and the glass in a separate box. The garden slowly began to clean up. The trees swayed in the wind. It was as if they were thanking them.

Then the children made new things with the materials they had collected. They made pots from plastic bottles, toy cars from boxes, and colorful pictures from paper. Everyone had a lot of fun.

Their teacher looked at them and smiled.

“You are the real Recycling Heroes,” she said.

From that day on, the children promised to protect nature every day. Because they knew that even a small step could make the world more beautiful.

And so the children of Little Forest School continued to live as little heroes who loved nature.
