The story

Angelo and Buddy notice one wrapper on the pavement outside the parlour.

Angelo and Buddy spotted one wrapper on the pavement outside the parlour.

A breeze lifts the wrapper and blows it along the pavement.

A breeze caught it and blew it along the pavement.

Angelo, wearing gloves, picks up the wrapper with a litter picker and a bag.

Angelo picked it up safely, with gloves, a litter picker and a bag.

Arthur pictures, in a thought bubble, a wrapper drifting to a stream and the shore.

Arthur imagined where a wrapper could end up: in the burn, and then on the shore.

Arthur: “Look after the garden, look after the shore, and ask the right person when help is needed.”

Angelo closes the lid of the parlour’s litter bin.

Angelo closed the lid of the parlour’s litter bin, so nothing else could blow away.

Angelo, Arthur and Buddy beside the closed bin and the tidy shop front.

Buddy smiled. Stopping litter escaping is better than looking for someone to blame.

Draft, 18 October 2026. The words and pictures are not yet reviewed by an educator. The story follows the outline in our story guide.

The real-life bit

Litter that blows away can reach streams, rivers and the sea. Keep your wrapper until you find a bin, and keep bin lids closed. Never pick up litter that could be sharp or dirty: tell a grown-up. Gullbrae is made up. Your council’s own rules are the ones to follow.
