Makuasiu arrived at the first park he was to restore. He looked around in disgust. "Who could ever let a public place like this become a public trash dump. What the hell is wrong with people. Makuasiu grabbed a trash bag and began to pick up the trash around the trees and in the grass. Once he finished with that he repainted the swings and slides. After about an hour the first park looked how it did from when they first built it. It brought back memories. "Just to think, a few years back, I used to play on these swings and slide on that slide. It made him sad to think that his fellow villagers would do something like this . After all , Maku had a strong love for nature and he felt that the garbage just corrupted nature's beauty. He sat down and took a break ."Shrimp ramen! Mom is awesome. He ate his ramen. Afterwards he decided the parks would look nicer if they had more nature. He bought flowers, trees, and seeds. Afterwards he began to plant some of each in the already renovated park.

After he was satisfied with his work he moved on to the next park. This park had a river. He remembered visiting this one too. This is wear he used to meditate. The river used to be a flowing blue tunnel of dreams but now it was brown and looked as if it could rot anything that touched its water. When Makuasiu saw this monstrosity, he almost shed a tear. He immediately headed for the river. Maku vowed that the river would look like it did when he was younger. It took him two hours to go through with his promise. He used ten trash bags on the river alone but it pleased him to see the fish return to the once again crystal,blue water. When he finished with his second park , planting flowers , trees, and seeds, he decided to meditate at the river like he had in his younger youth. He meditated for what seemed like hours. After he finished, Maku soaked in the beauty surrounding him. The kids were starting to return to the parks. Makuasiu felt warm inside. "One park left."

The third park had to be the worse park. The benches were broken, graffiti was everywhere, swing sets were damaged , flowers were stomped upon, and even the trees were dying . Maku didn't know if he had it in him , but as his father always said "How can you quit when you haven't even started?" Makuasiu decided it would be best to clean up the litter first. He pulled weeds, collected trash and planted vegetation. Next was park repair. The benches where nothing more then piles of wood and rubble. Maku brought fresh wood and made new benches. "These should last awhile." The swings were hanging awkwardly off there half-broken chains. Maku replaced the chains and repainted the seats. Finally cmae the graffiti . This didn't take much time , seeing as Makuasiu had replaced most of the stuff in the park. As he put the finishing touches on the park and the paint dried from the seats , he saw a couple of kids playing in the street. "That's not very safe. Why don't you come play here. The kids were hesitant at first but Makuasiu assured them everything was safe. They rushed to the restored playground , while Makuasiu left to check on his other two works of art. At the second park kids were swimming in the river, and enjoying the new park as he had when he was a child. Makuasiu smirked at this site. The first park was packed with both adults and kids. There were picnics and cookouts everywhere. Makuasiu decided that since he had some free time he'd enjoy his day. He went for a swim with the little ones. As he swimmed he wondered about his brother. He didn't see much of him between his missions. "Another mission completed. Maybe I should spend some family time."
