The Old Bottle's New Life

Mia finds a plastic bottle on the beach.

She does not throw it in the bin.

Instead, she takes it home and washes it well.

Her father cuts the bottle into thin strips.

Mia ties the strips together to make a strong rope.

Then she uses the rope to hang a small garden pot.

Now the old bottle holds pretty flowers.

Mia smiles because she helped the beach and made something useful.

That night, Mia goes to bed at nine.

She sleeps for nine hours.

In the morning, she feels strong and happy.

Good sleep helps her body and brain.

It also helps her make good plans, like her bottle rope.

So she tells her friends: sleep well, then help the beach too!
