The three little work trucks and the big bad monster truck. Once upon a time in a
bustling construction yard at the edge of a forest there lived three little
work trucks. Dumpy the dump truck, Lody the front loader and Diggy the backhoe.
They were brothers and after working hard for many years they decided it was
time to settle down and build their own garages. One sunny morning they gathered
to discuss their plans. Dumpy the youngest of the three loved working quickly
and efficiently. I'm going to build my garage out of sand he said proudly it
will be done in no time and I can relax for the rest of the day. Lody the
middle brother shook his bucket. Sand? That's not very strong Dumpy I think I'll
build my garage out of wooden beams it's tougher than sand and still won't take
me too long to finish. Diggy the oldest smiled wisely you both know the
construction yard can be dangerous I'm going to build my garage out of sturdy
steel beams it'll take longer but I want it to be strong enough to keep out
anything even a monster truck. The three brothers went their separate ways Dumpy
quickly shoveled heaps of sand into a mound and flattened it into a small cozy
garage he parked inside and honked happily thinking he had made the best
choice. Lody worked a little harder stacking wooden beams one by one until
his garage was solid and snug. He too parked inside feeling proud of his
craftsmanship. Diggy however worked for hours carefully digging foundations and
welding steel beams into place. His garage was tall sturdy and impenetrable
shining in the sun like a fortress. As the day turned to dusk a deep rumbling
noise echoed through the yard the ground shook and the trees trembled it was the
big bad monster truck with its massive wheels roaring engine and exhaust pipes
spitting smoke the monster truck came tearing through the forest looking for
trouble. He spotted Dumpy's garage first and revved his engine with a menacing
growl. Dumpy Dumpy let me in the monster truck bellowed. Dumpy peaked out from
behind his sand walls his tires trembling. Not by the dirt in my truck bed he
squeaked then I'll rev and I'll roar and I'll crush your garage to the ground.
With a deafening roar the monster truck slammed his wheels into the sand garage.
The ground shook and the sand crumbled instantly burying Dumpy in a pile of dust.
Dumpy revved his engine in panic and sped off as fast as he could to Lody's
wooden garage. Lody! Lody! let me in! Dumpy cried. Lody quickly opened the garage
door and let his little brother in just as the monster truck screeched around
the corner tires screeching. Lody! Lody! let me in! the monster truck roared.
Not by the rust in my bucket! Lody replied trying to sound brave then I'll rev
and I'll roar and I'll smash your garage to the ground. With a mighty rev the
monster truck charged at the wooden garage crashing into it with his massive
front bumper. The wooden beams shook splintered and within moments they
snapped under the pressure. The entire garage collapsed in a heap and Lody and
Dumpy had to race away to their oldest brother Diggy. Diggy! Diggy! let us in!
they shouted honking their horns. Diggy calmly opened the steel door to his
sturdy garage and his brothers hurried inside. As the monster truck approached
he glared at the shining steel beams with a sneer. Diggy! Diggy! let me in! the
monster truck demanded. Not by the grease in my gears! Diggy answered coolly.
Then I'll rev and I'll roar and I'll tear your garage to the ground. The monster
truck revved louder than ever before his engine roaring like thunder. He sped
toward the steel garage tires spinning in fury. He hit the walls once twice
three times but nothing happened. The steel beams held strong and the monster
truck bounced off them every time. Furious the monster truck backed up
preparing to make one final crushing blow but just as he was about to charge his
engine sputtered. He had overreaved his engine and his tires were now stuck in
the deep ruts he had made from his earlier attempts. Dumpy, Lody and Diggy
watched as the monster truck groaned his engine now coughing and sputtering.
Looks like your big engine isn't so tough after all. Diggy called out from
inside the safety of his steel garage. Realizing he was beaten the monster
truck let out one last growl and limped away smoke billowing from his exhaust.
The three work trucks cheered in victory.
Hooray for Diggy and his strong steel garage! Dumpy and Lody exclaimed.
Strength, patience and smart building always win in the end. Diggy said with a
smile. From that day forward Dumpy and Lody decided to build stronger garages
just like their big brother. And as for the monster truck well he never dared to
challenge the three little work trucks again. And so the three brothers lived
happily ever after building, working and staying safe in their strong sturdy
garages. The end.
