    When they pass through a narrow street, they saw some trash lying all over the street. Charlie decided to zigzag through it on his bicycle, but he lost his balance and fell down.

    He became very angry, started shouting and complaining about the irresponsible people and lack of hygiene.

    After a while, when he found out what his dog Rocky has been doing in the meanwhile, he was so surprised. The dog has been dragging away the trash from the road so that his master could move forward unharmed.

    This changed his feelings and attitude towards facing the situation. He placed the waste basket upright, put all the trash from the street in the bin, and convinced others to put their garbage in it. The street became clean since then and Charlie and his dog Rocky could pass through the street much happier ever after.
