And unfortunately, i got stuck behind a motorized   vehicle that managed to cover my vision with thick fog which is gray and made me cough. I started to thinking " if only on this earth no air pollution , will definitely comfortable and the air becomes cool ". However   the possibility is too small   that I and my friends could feel it. If the chimney mini does not exist in this world definitely no disease called asthma . And without it the world would definitely not imprisoned by pollution which makes throttle. If this world there is a clean place without a black fog to attack me and the other man , surely everything will be free from the toxic fumes .
