Have you seen this crow ?

Today is Saturday, June 6th. The rains that have been there for a few days are soothing. After the bath, Naveen, who was running from the bathroom outside the house to the stairs of the house. He asked his father, who was sitting on the armchair and reading the newspaper, "Dad, let's go to the temple today." Knowing his kid that he usually goes to temple when something disturbs his mind, father agreed to go to temple. After bath, they were about to start from home, Naveen's mother called out from the kitchen and told "while coming back from temple, please buy half kilogram small banana". Naveen and his father walked into the temple.

Devotional songs from the temple could be heard from a distance. After praying for some time, his father walked to the banyan tree side of the temple, where he usually meets his friends. Naveen came out of the temple with a smiling face. After greeting his friends, father returned home with his son.

He asked his son while he was walking back to home. "Well, is there anything special today for that you were keen to come and pray at the temple. Is there any school exam coming?". 

Naveen said in reply. "No dad, there is no exam". 

"Then what, specifically?" His father asked again. 

Naveen said, "Dad, yesterday was June 5th. World environment day. There was a meeting at the school. A person came from outside to school, for a talk about nature and environmental issues."

Naveen continued, "Dad, plastic bottles or bags what we use are there will not be decayed on earth. If we throw it outside, it will lie down there! If it is food waste or remains of what we eat, then crow and others eat those. But, crow does not eat plastics and it cannot. That's the problem."

"What is in the temple for that?" He said. 

"Daddy, I came to pray to God .. for the crow's ability to eat plastic. If they start eating plastic then there is no problem."

Then father asked him "what God said".

"God told that everything will be alright, and the ravens will soon be able to eat so. But I was told to wait a little longer. Until then, I have been told to reduce plastic use and not to throw away ".

"All right, now go to that shop and buy half kg banana."

father told Naveen on seeing the vegetable shop while walking back to home.

Taking money from father, Naveen ran to the shop.

"half a kg of banana". Naveen told to shopkeeper.

while putting it into a plastic bag after weighing the fruit, Naveen told to shopekeeper "Please dont use plastic bag, just give it after wrapping with a piece of paper"

They both reached home with the fruits and ate their breakfast.

After Naveen went out and looked at the raven in the courtyard. After that he always listens to the crow. To find out if any crow had started eating plastic. Haven't seen it yet. Have you seen ?
