The class start misbehaving - throwing litter, breaking branches, picking flowers, swatting bees - and the teacher explains to them why they need to look after nature. She shows them the consequences of picking wild flowers and leaving litter around, and continues by telling them the ways they can help protect the environment.

This text teaches the consequences of picking wild flowers, and how to protect the environment. Designed for parents and teachers to use with children, this text can be used as a basis for conversation.
