COUNT
Does
Once upon a time in a village by the sea lived some very poor people
so poor that they didn't have money to buy garbage cans.
A
they had a lot of food at home but of course, when they ate it all they didn't know
where to throw the papers and peels and in the end they threw EVERYTHING in the
sea
There, at the bottom of the sea, lived a very beautiful balloon fish.
Suddenly he saw all that rubbish falling on his house.
Then, thinking a lot, he decided to follow a path and go find his fish friends to ask for help.
As he swam, he came across a group of hammerheads and told them what had happened and said:
    • Hammerheads would you help me clean up the sea and catch the garbage that has fallen on my house?
    • And so much so that we will help you!
He
pufferfish and hammerfish took a sack and continued the
way to the sea, when they suddenly found a group of piranha fish.
Are going
thinking that there was so much rubbish that the more the better.
Then they told them what had happened and said:
    • Piranha fish, would you help us clean the sea and pick up the rubbish that has fallen on my house?
    • And so much so that we will help you!
He
puffer fish, hammer fish and PIRANYA fish continued the
on the way to the sea, when swimming, swimming they found a group of fish
SHARK.
Then they told them what had happened and said:
    • SHARK FISH THAT WOULD YOU HELP US CLEAN THE SEA AND CATCH THE GARBAGE THAT HAS FALLEN ON OUR HOUSE?
    • And so much so that we will help you!
He
puffer fish, hammer fish, piranha fish and shark fish
they continued the way of the sea, when swimming, swimming they found one
group of frogs.
Then they told them what had happened and said:
    • FROG fish that would help us clean the sea and catch the garbage that has fallen on my house?
    • And so much so that we will help you!
He
puffer fish, hammer fish, piranha fish, SHARK FISH AND
THE FROG FISH continued the way of the sea, when swimming, swimming
they met a group of WATER fish.
Then they told them what had happened and said:
    • WATER FISH Would you help us clean the sea and catch the rubbish that has fallen on my house?
    • And so much so that we will help you!
He
puffer fish, hammer fish, piranha fish, SHARK FISH,
THE FROGS AND THE WATER FISH continued on the way of the sea,
when swimming, swimming they found a group of TURTLE fish.
Then they told them what had happened and said:
    • Turtle fish would you help us clean up the sea and pick up the trash that has fallen on top of my house?
    • And so much so that we will help you!
In the
end all the fish in the sea helped the pufferfish. They got in
all the trash IN THE BAG AND THEY LEFT EVERYTHING SUPER CLEAN.
THEY WERE VERY HAPPY BUT THEN THEY REALIZED THAT THEY DIDN'T THINK THEY COULD DO WITH THE BAG FULL OF GARBAGE.
They thought a lot and decided to ask for help from the garbage collectors who helped them carry the sack to the village bins.
And tell me this story is over !!!
