My name is Jackson, and I live in the city.There are two vacant lots between our apartment building and the one next door, so lots of kids play there.My mom likes it when I play there.
She says, "I can always see where you are—it's like our very own safe park."
I thought about what Mom said.Good parks have lots of trees.Trees make a comfortable, shady spot for a picnic,and trees make places beautiful.
Then I had an idea that I discussed with Mom the next morning.
"Let's ask Mr. Miro about your idea," she said.
Mr. Miro was the owner of the vacant lots and he lived in an apartment upstairs.Mom came with me to see him.
Mr. Miro invited us into his living room.We all sat down, and I told him my idea.I wanted to plant trees on the vacant lots to make our play area more like a park.
"That's a great idea, Jackson.This city needs more parks!" said Mr. Miro.
That afternoon, Mom helped me write a letter.That evening, we delivered the letter to all the apartments near the lots.We posted one on the board, too.
