Early in the morning, George, Maria, Katarina, Michael and Nik were walking on the street and would have liked to spend a day in the sunshine, on the beach. After their arrival, they immediately noticed a group of young people listening to loud music and making a mess with their rubbish: there were empty plastic bottles, dirty dishes and towels, smoked cigarettes everywhere….
Our friends didn’t know how to organize a correct reaction. They were tempted to go away but after a short change of words among them, they decided to do something. They could not leave like this and pretending not to care.
George, Michael and Nik started picking up the rubbish and Maria and Katarina decided to start a conversation with the messy and dirty young people”.
Maria: “Excuse me but we find no place for our sun umbrella and our stuff. Why are you behaving like this? There’s a mess everywhere!”.
One of the messy guys, whose name is Paul, answered: “We arrived here before you and we don’t care about you. This is our place since we were children, we can decide how to mess it up as we desire.
Maria: “It’s not an answer….Why are you so angry with the whole world?”
A girl from the messy group, Sonia: “Paul is right. We are the owners of this place!!! What do you want?”
Our friends didn’t know what to do and what to say….Suddenly they remembered something about the messy group: they had been excluded from a great party organized on the beach some weeks before….Everyone in the age between 15 and 20 was there but no one from the messy group. Why? Simply because George and Katarina, the organisators, had forgotten them…..
Katarina: “I am sorry for what happened some weeks ago...we forgot to invite your group...please forgive us but your way to react cannot be the right one. The environment is very important and if you have something against us, you cannot make all this mess!!! There are also other people attending this place. If we behaved wrong with you, it’s not right that you make this place dirty”.
At the very beginning, no one of the “messy” group answered. They just looked down...avoiding to communicate.
Paul: “Yes, you are right….but it was very annoying for us to be forgotten...anyhow, everybody can make a mistake, so we accept your being sorry...I have a proposal: would you help us to clean up the mess we made on the beach…??? It was a way to attract people’s attention...to say that WE EXIST!!!”
All together: “Of course we are going to help you!!!!”
Paul and the messy group: “ok, thank you!!!”

2 hours later, the beach was perfectly clean and the two groups were playing and having fun together….!!
