One day, I was going on a trip in a car. While travelling, I saw a lion-tailed macaque sitting on the roadside, eating some nuts. I admired his silver-white beard and went near the monkey. He stared at me and quickly ran into the forest. I followed the monkey’s trail, and after some time, I found him rolling on the ground.
“What happened to you?” I asked.
“I have a stomach ache,” replied the monkey in pain.
I quickly checked and found a piece of Lay’s chips packet.
“Did you eat this?” I asked the monkey.
“A boy like you came in a car and threw this. It looked colorful and I have never tasted anything like that,” he replied.
“Nooo… It’s plastic! It’s harmful to you! You should not eat that.”
“Oh! I didn’t know that. I saw a friend of mine eating this the other day. Now, I understand why he was also rolling in pain.”
“It’s poison. A mistaken feast. Go and tell your family and friends, and I will also tell my friends and family not to throw plastic on the road. They should put it in dustbins or not use plastic at all!”
We should not pollute the world with plastic. Only then will the world be a better place to live for everyone.
