A STORY BY WEBBLIBOOMAN

Webbli Booman wanted to go to the Caribbean and swim with Dolphins. But his old friend Webbli 4x4 thought it would be funny to swap his plane ticket so that he goes to Greenland instead. Webbli Booman soon realised what was happening - but it was too late to stop it. So, when he got there he decided to go for a walk so he could think up a way to get revenge on Webbli 4x4 but, as he was out shivering in the snow, he could hear someone calling for help. He put on his glasses and saw that it was an Iceberg ‘ Bernie The Iceberg’. He had heard about him on the news because he has been melting.

Bernie yelled ‘Please someone help! I thought melting was good because I could fit into my old trunks again - but if I carry on melting like this I won’t be here any longer and when I’m gone no one will be able to look after all the wildlife in the sea!’�

Being a keen animal lover, Webbli Booman just had to do something.

‘I’ll make a deal with you,’ he called back. ‘If you help me to find Webbli 4x4 , then I’ll stop you from melting.’

‘Deal!’ shouted Bernie The Iceberg. ‘I know where he lives, down that track and to the right.’

So, off WebbliBooman went. He tricked Webbli 4x4 by saying that he had seen his car sinking in the sea. Webbli 4x4 rushed down the track to the ocean , but his car was not there.

‘Where is my beloved car?’ Webbli 4x4 exclaimed. ‘If I don’t have my car then I can’t get food, or go to work.’�

‘And, if Bernie melts anymore you won’t need your car,’� said Webbli Booman. ‘You won’t even have your house because Greenland will melt too, unless people like you start taking responsibility. You don’t need to drive to work , it’s 1 mile away - you can walk or cycle. And you don’t need to have a 4x4, because they are worse for the environment. Bernie is dying and so are all the things that make your island. You better see sense or it’ll be too late!’

Webbli 4x4 looked around him and realised how beautiful his island was - and how lucky he was. He didn’t want that to be taken away forever.

‘From this day on, I promise to not use my car unless I really need to. I promise that the next car I get will be smaller. But you, Webbli Booman must stop flying to far off destinations unless you really need to. Aeroplanes are also bad for the environment.’

‘I promise,’ said Webbli Booman.

They also said they would make sure they always remember to turn lights off, turn off taps and recycle all packaging and unwanted food. It was a big promise to make, but they both swore to keep it - and did.

Bernie The Iceberg has not melted anymore, but if that’s to stay the same, we must all do our bit to help him and make this planet a greener and healthier one, like Webbli Booman And Webbli 4x4.
