Bulbul collects rubbish from the Sankar area in Dhaka. Every morning, he wakes up at 5 o’clock and
walks along the streets of Sankar to collect rubbish. People of Sankar put their rubbish in plastic bins
and leave them in front of their houses. Bulbul walks from door to door to collect them. Sometimes the
bins are very dirty and they smell bad. But Bulbul does not mind. He takes out everything from the bins
and puts them in his van. He believes that all jobs are important. He works hard every day to keep this
area clean.Last month Bulbul was sick for two days. So, he could not come to collect the rubbish. The
people of Sankar were in great trouble. They got piles of rubbish waiting in front of their houses. The
whole area became dirty and unhygienic. When Bulbul got well, he came back to Sankar. He collected
everything from all the bins. Bulbul does not want to fall sick again. He realizes, if he stops working even
for a few days only, the whole area will turn into a big dustbin.
