E. P: “I wanted to warn you. Soon I will be so powerful that nobody will stop me. Together with other problems we will
take over the world. Plants, people and animals will be more and more threatened! If this goes on, soon there will be no
place without trash and pollution.”
Part 3 - Özge Sevim and her students, 100. Yıl Atatürk Ortaokulu
The Pigeon replied: “We will not allow it! We will defeat you and the Global Warming!”
“You can't beat us! People created us and they will not stop! Every year I am more powerful and all thanks to your
people! Beware! Time will show!" he said and disappeared as soon as he appeared.
The animals were more alarmed than before. They felt trapped on the island and heard the birds singing louder and
louder. The sun came up surprisingly bright and they could see the white smokes of ships out at the sea. They left
the small lake behind and decided to reach the shore of the sea nearby. The Caspian Tiger joined the
flock and they followed the path which was covered with beautiful flowers and yellowish grass. While walking, they
felt at home because this path seemed familiar with their feet.
The Caspian tiger shouted with a big noise: “Watch out! What is that? I saw something going up and down in the
water.”
The Pigeon: "I can’t see. Maybe it is just a fish."
The Dodo: "No! I can see it, too. Look! It is in the water. Let’s get closer."
The Mammoth: "Stay behind! I am bigger than all of you. If it is something dangerous, I can protect you."
As they were approaching the shore, Pinta Island Tortoise jumped out of the water and fixed its eyes on the
mammoth.
“Oh! Are you a monster? Don’t eat me, please.” he said in horror.
The Mammoth angrily replied him: “No, I am not! You don’t make my mouth water and I am a vegetarian!”
The Tortoise was very amazed to see a huge body of the Mammoth and stayed staring at him for a few minutes.
Then, the Tortoise realized other animals behind the Mammoth and came to himself.
The Tortoise: "Hello everyone. I am Pinta Island Tortoise. Sorry for my fear and surprise but I was trying to hide myself
from the sailors and whalers who usually want to hunt tortoises as a source of fresh meat."
The Dodo: "Oh no, you don’t need to be scared. There aren’t any people around. Calm down. You are safe with us."
The Tortoise: "Thank you, my friend. Actually, I found myself in this sea while I was swimming in joy from the deep
blue of the sea to the golden sands. I saw you while I was looking around where I was and I thought you are one of
the cruel hunters who cause my friends to die."
The Pigeon: "Ok. Apparently, we all came here within the time capsule. But why? This is a very nice place but we met
two very bad things which are called GLOBAL WARMING and ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION."
The Pigeon's heart gave a wild beat and it thoughtfully opened her wings and rose to the sky. After taking a few turns
in the sky, she saw a colorful beam of light coming towards her. Suddenly she stopped and waited for it to approach
with curiosity. It was the Carolina Parakeet who came and they quickly went down together.
The Parakeet started talking after resting her extraordinarily colorful wings for a while:
“Hello. I greet this beautiful group of animals with happiness. You all wonder why you are here. I came from a group
of students and teachers who called you here."
