A story is told from the perspective of a paper sheet that is drawn on by a student named Federica in school, crumpled up, and thrown in the trash. The paper feels sorry for itself for being thrown away with rubbish. However, Federica realizes this and moves the paper to the recycling bin instead, making the paper happy that it will be recycled and reused instead of becoming waste. The paper is taken to a factory to be recycled and turned into a new sheet of paper once more.
