As I look at the puzzled _________ around me whenever I do this, I often __________ the story of the little girl who was walking on the __________ and saw turtles (海龟) washed ashore by the waves __________ to get back in the water.

So, I may not clean the __________ town by picking litter but I can surely leave one pavement clean by doing so, one at a time.
