Los gritos fuertes despertaron a todos en la casa. El papá de Ester salió para ver que estaba pasando. Cuando vio a Sneakers, él la rescató de la bolsa de papitas fritas vacía y la regresó con Ester.
"What happened?" asked Ester as she cuddled her kitten. "Someone littered in our yard and Sneakers got stuck," her dad answered. "Even an empty bag of chips can be dangerous for a young animal." Ester felt really sad because she knew it was her trash. She told her dad that she had been littering in the yard. Her dad hugged her and said, "I'm very proud of you for telling the truth. Tomorrow, you can help me clean up all this trash."
“¿Que sucedió?” preguntó Ester mientras acariciaba a Sneakers. "Alguien llenó el jardín de basura y Sneakers se atoró," respondió su papá. "Hasta una bolsa vacía de papas fritas puede ser peligrosa para un animalito.” Ester se sintió muy triste porque sabía que era su basura. Le dijo a su papá que ella era la que tiraba la basura en el jardín. Su papá la abrazó y le dijo, “Estoy orgulloso de ti por haberme dicho la verdad. Mañana, tú me puedes ayudar a limpiar toda esa basura.”
The next day was Saturday. Ester spent the whole morning cleaning up the yard with her dad. Then, she and Sneakers played all afternoon in the green grass beneath the blue sky.
El día siguiente era sábado. Ester se pasó toda la mañana limpiando el jardín con su papá. Luego, ella y Sneakers jugaron toda la tarde en el pasto verde bajo el cielo azul.
