Sammy looked at the pile of paper on the floor. Whenever he finished reading his mail or a newspaper or magazine, he threw it into this pile. This was his recycling pile. At the moment, it was almost two feet high. It was time to recycle.
He squatted down, protecting his back. Sometimes, just sitting down would cause his back to go out for a week. He scooped his hands under the pile and slowly stood up.
He walked over to his front door. Hands full, he struggled to turn the doorknob and open the door. He walked outside and down the stairs. So far he hadn't dropped one piece of paper. He walked to the blue trash bin.
There was no way to lift the lid of the recycling bin with his hands full. He carefully put the pile of papers down and then opened the lid. The bin was completely full. Damn, he swore.
Sammy gathered the pile into his arms and trudged back upstairs. Pleased that he still had not dropped any paper, he lowered the pile back onto the floor. Then he stood up, but just a little bit too fast.

Sammy nhìn vào chồng giấy tờ trên sàn nhà. Bất cứ khi nào anh đọc xong thư hoặc là báo , tạp chí, anh ném nó lên chồng giấy.Đó là đống giấy rác của anh. Trong khoảng thời gian ngắn, nó đã cao tới nửa mét. Đây là lúc để tái chế giấy. Anh ngồi xổm xuống để bảo vệ cho cái lưng của anh. Thỉnh thoảng, chỉ có việc ngồi xuống cũng làm cho lưng anh đau mất 1 tuần lễ. Anh luồn tay xuống chồng giấy và chầm chậm đứng dậy. Anh bê ra cửa trước nhà. Với hai tay đầy giấy, anh cố gắng vặn nắm đấm cửa và mở cửa. Anh đi ra ngoài và đi xuống bậc thềm. Cũng lâu rồi anh chưa vứt một tờ giấy nào. Anh đi tới thùng rác màu xanh nước biển. Không có cách nào để nâng nắp thùng rác lên với đôi tay đang bận . Anh cẩn thận đặt chồng giấy xuống và sau đó mở nắp thùng rác ra.Thùng rác đã quá đầy. Chết tiệt, anh chửi. Sammy lại bê lấy chồng giấy và lê bước lên cầu thang. Vui mừng rằng anh vẫn chưa vứt được tờ giấy nào, anh hạ thấp chồng giấy xuống sàn nhà. Sau đó, anh đứng lên nhưng chỉ đứng lên chầm chậm thôi.

Đống giấy tờ.
Sammy nhìn đống giấy nằm dưới sàn nhà. Mỗi lần đọc xong thư hoặc báo hoặc tạp chí, anh ném vào thành đống. Đây là đống giấy sẽ được tái chế lại của anh. Trong một thời gian ngắn nó đã cao gần bằng 2 bàn chân. Đây là lúc vứt bỏ. Anh ngồi xổm xuống, đề phòng cho cái lưng của anh. Thỉnh thoảng chỉ vì ngồi xuống cũng là nguyên nhân làm cái lưng của anh đau cả tuần. Anh dùng 2 bàn tay làm thành cái xẻng để xúc dưới đống giấy và từ từ đứng lên. Anh đi lên cửa trước. Hai bàn tay đầy giấy, anh cố xoay cái nắm để mở cửa. Anh đi ra ngoài và xuống cầu thang. Vì xa anh không thể không để rơi một vài mảnh giấy. Anh đi đến cái thùng rác màu xanh. Không có cách nào mở nắp thùng với 2 bàn tay đầy giấy. Anh cẩn thận để đống giấy xuống và mở nắp. Thùng rác đã đầy. Khỉ thật, anh càu nhàu. Sammy gom đống giấy vào 2 cánh tay của anh, và lê bước trở về cầu thang. Hài lòng vì không làm rơi bất cứ tờ giấy nào, anh cau mày để đống giất tờ trở lại sàn nhà. Sau đó anh đứng lên, nhưng chỉ từ từ từng chút một.

ĐỐNG GIẤY TỜ
Sammy nhìn vào đống giấy tờ trên sàn nhà. Bất cứ khi nào đọc xong thư hoặc báo chí, anh đều ném nó vào đống này. Đây là thùng rác tái chế của anh ta. Thời điểm này, nó đã cao đến gần 2 feet. Đã đến lúc tái chế rồi.
Anh ngồi xổm xuống để bảo vệ cái lưng anh ta. Thỉnh thoảng, việc ngồi xuống là nguyên nhân làm cho cái lưng anh đau cả 1 tuần. Anh luồn tay xuống đống giấy và từ từ đứng lên.
Anh bước ra cửa. Hai tay đầy ắp giấy tờ, anh đi chầm chậm đến vặn tay nắm cửa và mở ra. Anh đi xuống cầu thang. suốt thời gian này anh không làm rơi bất cứ tờ giấy nào. Anh đi đến thùng rác màu xanh nước biển.
Không có cách nào để mở nắp thùng rác tái chế với 2 tay đầy giấy tờ. Anh cẩn thận đặt chồng giấy xuống và mở nắp. Thừng rác đầy vun. Chết tiệt, anh nói.
Sammy ôm đống giấy lên tay và bước chầm chậm lên lầu. Anh hài lòng rằng anh không làm rơi một tờ giấy nào, anh hạ đống giấy xuống sàn nhà. Rồi anh đứng lên, nhưng hơi quá nhanh một chút.

Đống Giấy
Sammy nhìn vào đống giấy trên sàn. Bất kì khi nào anh ta đọc xong thư từ, báo chí anh ta đều quăng vào đó. Đây là đống giấy tái chế của anh ta. Vào lúc này, nó đã cao gần 2 feet. Tới lúc tái chế rồi.
Anh ta ngồi xổm xuống, bảo vệ cái lưng của mình. Đôi khi chỉ ngồi xuống thôi mà cái lưng của anh nhức cả tuần. Anh ta luồn cái tay xuống dưới đống giấy và từ từ đứng dậy.
Anh ta đi tới cửa trước. Tay đầy rồi, anh ta cố gắng vặn cái nắm đấm cửa và mở cửa ra. Anh ta đi ra ngoài và xuống cầu thang. Anh ta không làm rớt bất kì tờ giấy nào cho tới bây giờ. Anh ta đi tới cái thùng rác màu lam.
Không có cách nào để mở nắp thùng rác với hai cánh tay đã đầy. Anh ta cẩn thận đặt cái chồng giấy xuống và mở nắp. Cái thùng rác đã đầy. Chết tiệt, anh ta rủa.
Sammy gom đống giấy lại và lê bước chậm chạp lên lầu. Hài lòng rằng mình đã không làm rơi bất kì tờ giấy nào, anh ta đặt chồng giấy xuống lại sàn nhà. Rồi anh ta đứng dậy, nhưng chỉ hơi nhanh một chút thôi.
