رَأَى الْأَطْفَالُ الْأَوْرَاقَ، وَفَهِمُوا مَغْزَى رِسَالَةِ الشَّجَرَةِ، وَعَزَمُوا عَلَى أَنْ يُحَافِظُوا عَلَى الْبِيئَةِ، فَبَدَءُوا بِتَنْظِيفِ الْحَدِيقَةِ، وَرَيِّ الشَّجَرَةِ وَرَعَايَتِهَا، وَكَتَبُوا لَافِتَاتٍ تَقُولُ: «لَا تَرْمُوا الْقُمَامَةَ هُنَا»، وَشَارَكُوا فِي حَمَلَاتٍ لِنَشْرِ الْوَعْيِ بَيْنَ أَهَالِي الْقَرْيَةِ حَوْلَ أَهَمِّيَّةِ الْحِفَاظِ عَلَى الْبِيئَةِ.

The children saw the leaves and understood the tree’s message. Determined to protect the environment, they began by cleaning the garden, watering the tree, and caring for it. They made signs that read, 'Do not litter here,' and joined campaigns to raise awareness among the villagers about the importance of environmental conservation.

لَا تَرْمُوا الْقُمَامَةَ هُنَا.

Do not litter here.

وَمَعَ مُرُورِ الْوَقْتِ، بَدَأَتْ أَوْرَاقُ الشَّجَرَةِ الْعَجُوزِ تَنْبُتُ وَتَخْضَرُّ وَتَمْلَأُ فُرُوعَهَا الْمُمْتَدَّةَ، وَكَأَنَّ الْحَيَاةَ عَادَتْ إِلَيْهَا مِنْ جَدِيدٍ.

As time passed, the old tree’s leaves began to sprout and turn green, filling its spreading branches as if life had returned to it once more.
