Beside the Waiting Path

At the playground zip line, Zuri sees paper wristbands on the ground. Wind pushes one toward a drain that leads to a stream. Plants beside the waiting path have bent stems where feet stepped. A bee gets food from flowers.

A helper's gas leaf blower gives off exhaust that can dirty the air. A rake moves leaves by hand. The bin has a lid. When the lid is shut, wind cannot blow wristbands out.
