Matías asked his mom if he could ride his bike to the park. 

“As long as you wear your helmet when you are riding,” she said. 

When Matías got to the park it was filled with people holding garbage bags. A lot of his friends were there and so were some of his teachers.

His friend Isabella said, “Everyone is helping out and cleaning the park today.” 

She asked Matías if he would help. Matías said, “Sure.” and asked for a garbage bag.

He took some gloves to help.

There was garbage everywhere. 

Matías picked up candy wrappers, juice boxes, newspapers, and apple cores. It was really gross. After an hour, he had filled three garbage bags. His friends filled a lot of garbage bags too.

They even found an old bike that needed to be repaired or taken to the recycling center.
