read about the story. They talked of the pollution. They talked of ways to clean it up.
One day ( People met at the lake. They came to clean it up. They cleaned out the
garbage. Then they cleaned out the tires. They set up big cans. Then they put signs on
the cans. The signs read, “Put Your Garbage Here.” People who lived near the lake
came to help. People who had boats came to help. And, people from the factory also
came to help. (ウ) They knew that it would take a long time to get the lake clean again.
But they did not give up. They all hoped that someday the “No Swimming" sign would
come down and the people could swim in the lake again.
