“I just want a normal birthday party,” April told Bailey as they walked home from school.
Bailey knew what April meant. April’s parents loved the environment. And because April happened to be born on Earth Day, all her parties had an Earth Day theme. “Remember when you turned seven?” Bailey said.
“How could I forget the Throw-Out Blowout?” said April.
“We helped out at your garage sale and donated the money to charity. And when you turned eight—”
“It was a Tree Spree,” finished April. “We planted maples.”
“Last year, we all collected newspapers to recycle,” said Bailey.
“The Print Sprint?” April groaned.
Bailey giggled. “I thought it was fun.”
Later that night, as April loaded the dishwasher, she said, “I’d like to plan my own party this year.”
“Sure,” said Mom, “We could have a Compost(堆肥) Carnival.”
“Great idea!” said Dad.
April cleared her throat “Pd like to go to Maze Craze(疯狂迷宫) instead.”
“Really?” said Dad, surprised.
“I guess we could do that,” said Mom.
April couldn’t wait for her birthday! She and her friends would have so much fun. And they wouldn’t have to think one bit about the earth.
The following weekend, everyone gathered in the parking lot outside of Maze Craze. “Thanks for coming,” said April “I’ve been so excited about my party. No shovels. No collecting recyclables. Nothing earthy about it.” She shifted her feet. “Then I got here this morning and saw this parking lot.”
April’s friends glanced around. Plastic bottles bounced across the cement. Newspapers and fast-food sacks blocked the storm drain. Shopping bags rustled in the trees.
