Watershed of Words - Clark County

An otter swam up to the surface of polluted water. He looked up at his
wife and said, “The pollution is killing all the fish, Rose.” Rose nodded and
agreed. She looked at her husband and said, “Ben, we’ll have to move away
from these polluted waters.” Ben gritted his teeth and nodded.
They swam along the river until they found no more human trash. Right
then, they found a perfect cave, half in the water and half out. They lived
happily ever after.

Lakes need to be clean
Everybody should recycle
We should keep our lakes not polluted
I will keep rivers clean
Set out batteries and paint separately
Reuse plastic bottles
In the water, fish need to be healthy
Visit rivers and pick up trash
Even put up signs that say, “Recycle”
Reduce the amount of plastic bottles we use.

We were all going to Lewisville Park
for a church picnic. I brought my
swimming trunks to swim. When
I arrived, my friends were waiting
for me. We ran around trying
to escape the bees. Finally we
decided to go swimming. We had a
lot of fun swimming up and down
the stream. Sometimes the current
was so strong we got swept away.
We had to go back to our church
picnic. It was over, all of my friends
had to leave and so did I. When we
were in the car, I told my parents
the water was clean and sparkly.
So, we had a lot of fun.
