  “I know what to do，”she said．“Look at all that junk under the tables．Let’s pick it up．”

  So they picked up paper and empty boxes and cans．They put them in the green cans marked“Litter”．Peter’s dog Stoopy picked up some paper and ran away with it．Peter called him back and took it from him．Then they taught Stoopy to carry trash for them．They put it in the cans．They worked until there was no trash left on the picnic grounds．
