Toycycle

Episkopi Cyprus

In the sunny village of Episkopi, not far

 from the sparkling sea, the children at

 school loved to laugh, run, and play. But

 sometimes they forgot something

 important. Snack wrappers, plastic

 bottles, and paper cups fell to the ground

 instead of the bin. Luckily, the magical guardian of

 Earth, Toycycle, was always nearby. 

With a joyful crunch and a sparkle of magic,

 Toycycle gobbled up the trash and turned it into

 wonderful toys! The children would sing:

Clean up the Earth, laugh and play,
 Toycycle saves the day!
 Trash to toy, oh boy, oh boy 
 Toycycle brings us fun and joy!

Day after day, Toycycle worked hard. 

Crunch, munch, sparkle! 

Old cans became spinning tops. 

Plastic bottles turned into bright toy boats. 

Crumpled paper became colorful kites dancing in the wind. 

The playground filled with laughter and toys, but the pile of trash kept growing bigger and bigger.

Soon Toycycle’s tummy felt heavy, 

and its magical wings drooped with tiredness.

One afternoon, Toycycle slowly walked 

to the nearby

 beach of Episkopi to rest.

 But when it looked around, its eyes grew wide.

The sand was covered with bottles,

 bags, and broken things washed in by the waves.

 Toycycle tried to eat some of the trash, 

but there was just too much,

and the brave guardian felt very, very exhausted.

 Just then, a group of children 

walking along the beach 

noticed the tired creature 

and whispered to each other…

Ardin - Jordan

     Ardeen decided not to stay sad, so she invited the children to help her.

      After days of hard work, the place became full of trees and greenery.
