    Elena jogged with her dad in some empty lots (小塊地) at the edge of town. These out-of-the-way lots were
good places to jog. But the lots were fuIl of rocks and rubbish.
   One day, Elena saw a sign on the lots. It said, "New City Park." Elena was excited. Maybe the park would have
a jogging trail!
Elena told her parents about the sign.
    "I read about the park in the newspaper," said Elena's father. "The city wants volunteers to help clean the area. Then the city will build a soccer field and a playground."
    "Will they build a jogging trail?" Elena asked.
    "No,the paper didn't mention a jogging trail."
    "Well,perhaps if I help clean up the lots, they'll put in a jogging trail," said Elena.
    On Saturday Elena went to the lots. Many adults were working there.Some were picking up rubbish. Some
were moving rocks.
    "I want to volunteer, "Elena told a man."What can I do?"
    "This is not a job for children, "said the man."You'd better go home."
    Elena looked around.She could carry rubbish. She could move rocks. A lady was pulling a bag of rubbish.
Elena saw a box of rubbish bags. She took an empty bag.
    "I'll take this bag to the Dumpster," said Elena. "Here's a new bag."
    "Thanks," said the lady. "Keep those new bags coming."
    Elena dragged rubbish bags. She told everyone she was glad to help build the park. She explained that she
hoped the park would have a jogging trail. 
    Elena went to the area every week. Soon everyone knew her and she told everyone how wonderful a jogging
trail would be.
    Soon the volunteers cleared the lots. The city could start building.The mayor (市長) gave a speech. He showed
a drawing of the new park.He told them about the soccer field and the baseball diamond. There would be picnic
tables. There would be a playground. The park would even have basketball courts. There was no sign of a jogging
trail. The mayor thanked the volunteers. Then he asked if they had any suggestions. The volunteers said they
wanted to build a jogging trail around the park. They told the mayor how helpful Elena had been and how she
wanted a jogging trail.The mayor said, "A jogging trail won't be hard to build. Let's do it!" Everyone clapped and
cheered. Elena cheered loudest of all.
