An old gentleman who lives a few doors away from me can always be seen with a bag . He goes out by himself and picks up plastic bottles , plastic bags and pieces of paper everywhere . He does it all carefully and never complains .

The children in the nearby school are probably responsible for some of that litter（廢棄物）. “ There will come a time when they know better ,” he said . “ It’s just not yet . So , I’ll do it for them .”

Well , this morning I was out walking my neighbor’s dog when I saw another neighbor , a much younger man , out doing the same thing ! He had his two little sons with him and they were having good fun trying to pick up the litter .

When I commented on what a good job he was doing , he said , “ Well , an older fellow in our street does this . And my friend and I thought it wasn’t fair that he had to do it all the time , so now we take turns .”

Not only was he taking a turn , not only did he have a friend join in as well , but he was passing on the lesson to the next generation（代）！

By the time I had returned the dog to my neighbor I looked again and his children’s friends had joined in !

This man was teaching a whole group of young children to keep their own street sanitary . An older man had set an example for him and now he was passing it on — the next generation is doing what he did and the generation to come after that !
