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.

(from previous page) ⟵ The children saw the leaves, understood the tree's message, and resolved to protect the environment. So they started by cleaning the garden, watering and caring for the tree, and wrote signs saying: "Do not litter here," and participated in campaigns to spread awareness among the villagers about the importance of preserving the environment.

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.
