“Children,” said Miss Rossi, “this is our recycling box. When it is full, we’ll take it to the recycling centre.”
Tony washed lots of jars and put them in the box. Franca asked her mum for all their old newspapers. Mani brought lots of old soft drink cans. Rosila collected cardboard tubes. Everyone brought something.
Soon, the box was full. “Put the box outside the door please,” said Miss Rossi. “Tomorrow we’ll take it to the recycling centre.”
Later, Mrs Haddad walked past the box and saw all the clean, empty jars. “Those would be perfect for the art room,” she thought to herself.
Mrs Walker saw the soft drink cans and said, “That’s what we need for our science class.”
Miss Nguyen looked in the box and said, “Old newspapers! Just what I need to put in my compost bin at home.”
“Cardboard tubes,” said Mr Taylor. “I need some of these.”
When the children came the next morning, their recycling box was empty!
“How extraordinary!” said Miss Rossi. “I wonder what happened to all our things. Oh, well, it looks as if we’ll have to start again!”
