Writing a piece of news

Stolen painting found by tree.


Now a day are doing more pranks because of the art teachers, like the new prank, that they paint a lot of trees of color blue, killing all the trees as a consequence. The art teacher says that the children need to be more creative.

We interviewed the teacher, and he say: "It is recommended that creativity in children, were much more stimulated by parents. However, the wild life has revived with all the color that has now the trees. But now, the environmentalist people are against of what says the teacher.

On the other hand, parents of children argue that: "They have to paint more trees for the creativity develops and have better grade on futures exams". But the environmentalists are against of what the parents say.

Environmentalists are creating a society to fight all the people who do bad things that kill the environment, including the children who kill the trees.


Scientists are studying that kind of situation and they say that parents are the problem behind the bad children that are creating the entire problem in the environment.
