Once in a bamboo forest lived a playful panda named Pippa. She loved eating bamboo and playing all day. 'There's bamboo everywhere, so why clean up?' she thought.

One morning, Pippa woke up very hungry. 'Time to find some bamboo!' she said. But when she looked around, all the bamboo was gone! 'Oh no, where did all the bamboo go?' she wondered.

Pippa met her friend Milo the monkey swinging in the trees. 'Hey, Milo! Have you seen any bamboo?' asked Pippa.

Milo replied, 'No, Pippa. Maybe because we didn't clean up old bamboo. New bamboo can't grow if the forest is messy.'

Pippa realized her messy habits caused the bamboo to disappear. 'I need to fix this,' she said.

Pippa decided to clean the forest. She gathered leftover bamboo and composted it so new bamboo could grow.

Pippa asked her friends to help, and together they cleaned the forest. They worked as a team and learned to take care of their home.
