[SPEAKER_00]: Hello, our way Islanders. [SPEAKER_00]: Are you ready to become an our way Island? [SPEAKER_00]: Before we begin, let's see if you have everything you want for our story today. [SPEAKER_00]: Are the lights in your room dim or off? [SPEAKER_00]: Do you have your favorite listening buddy or blanket?

[SPEAKER_00]: Great job, everyone. [SPEAKER_00]: Let's relax by taking a deep dragon breath together. [SPEAKER_00]: Breathe in through your nose, filling up your lungs, and then out through your mouth. [SPEAKER_00]: Pretending you are breathing fire, like a dragon. [SPEAKER_00]: Are you ready? [SPEAKER_00]: Deep breath in and out.

[SPEAKER_00]: As you breathe out, feel your legs back and belly relax. [SPEAKER_00]: Now, picture a baby elephant hugged tight by its mother's trunk. [SPEAKER_00]: You feel connected and loved, just like the baby elephant. [SPEAKER_00]: As you imagine the elephant, let's take another deep dragon breath.

[SPEAKER_00]: Here we go, deep breath in and out. [SPEAKER_00]: As your chest, arms and shoulders relax. [SPEAKER_00]: Imagine that you are the baby elephant helped tightly in your mama's elephant's trunk. [SPEAKER_00]: You feel safe and loved. [SPEAKER_00]: Now let's take one more deep dragon breath together.

[SPEAKER_00]: Remember to breathe in through your nose, filling up your lungs, and breathe out through your mouth. [SPEAKER_00]: Pretending you are breathing fire. [SPEAKER_00]: Ready? [SPEAKER_00]: Take a deep breath in and out. [SPEAKER_00]: Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[SPEAKER_00]: to completely relax. [SPEAKER_00]: Great job, everyone. [SPEAKER_00]: I hope you are tucked in nice and cozy. [SPEAKER_00]: And now, let's begin our story. [SPEAKER_00]: Let's be calm. [SPEAKER_00]: On our way Island, our story today is, [SPEAKER_00]: Light streamed through the gaps in the door of a little dog-trucks garage.

[SPEAKER_00]: Three-in-dumped truck linked as warm sunshine gently settled on his headlights. [SPEAKER_00]: He smiled wondering what the construction crew would be doing today. [SPEAKER_00]: Whatever the job was, driven, hoped it would be important. [SPEAKER_00]: Soon, the little dump truck heard footsteps outside his garage.

[SPEAKER_00]: The door rolled up, his driver walked in, sat in the front seat, and turned the key to bring driven's engine to life. [SPEAKER_00]: Driven appeared out into the construction yard as he rolled out of the garage, wondering who would be working today. [SPEAKER_00]: Dr. Ivan frowned when he saw that Dory dump truck was already waiting in the yard.

[SPEAKER_00]: Good morning, Dr. Ivan. [SPEAKER_00]: Dory called out cheerfully. [SPEAKER_00]: My driver brought me out early. [SPEAKER_00]: Good morning, Dr. Ivan replied, he tried to sound cheerful as well, but he wasn't sure he had hidden his disappointment very well. [SPEAKER_00]: She was friendly and hardworking and dependable.

[SPEAKER_00]: No, the reason Freeman felt disappointed was that he was worried there might not be enough work for two dump trucks. [SPEAKER_00]: If Dory had arrived first, then perhaps she would be given the important job before he even had a chance to be considered. [SPEAKER_00]: and Driven wanted to do important work.

[SPEAKER_00]: Another garage door opened revealing Ellie the excavator who joined the two dumb trucks in the yard and greeted them rightly. [SPEAKER_00]: Dory and Driven greeted Ellie in return. [SPEAKER_00]: Just then, the sound of a closing door caught the vehicle's attention. [SPEAKER_00]: A contractor had arrived and was ready to give the crew their assignments for the day.

[SPEAKER_00]: The contractor pointed toward an enormous pile of gravel at one end of the yard. [SPEAKER_00]: Today, this gravel needs to be moved to the other side of the construction site, the contractor explained. [SPEAKER_00]: The excavator will love it. [SPEAKER_00]: Both don't trucks will carry the gravel across the yard and unload it beside the new pathway.

[SPEAKER_00]: The contractor showed the drivers the marked location on a map. [SPEAKER_00]: Take your time and work safely. [SPEAKER_00]: both milk trucks, driven thought to himself. [SPEAKER_00]: He was relieved to hear that he had been given a job. [SPEAKER_00]: Driven studied the gravel pile. [SPEAKER_00]: It was tall, but not that tall.

[SPEAKER_00]: How many truckloads would it take to move? [SPEAKER_00]: Would there really be enough for both him and Dorie? [SPEAKER_00]: As their drivers guided the vehicles toward the gravel pile, Dorie got their first again. [SPEAKER_00]: Driven's heart sank. [SPEAKER_00]: It looked like Dorie would be taking the first loan of gravel.

[SPEAKER_00]: What if she carried most of it away before Driven had his turn? [SPEAKER_00]: Allie must've noticed Driven's droopy expression, [SPEAKER_00]: is something bothering you, three of them? [SPEAKER_00]: Driven has a tated to answer. [SPEAKER_00]: He felt a little embarrassed to admit what he had been thinking.

[SPEAKER_00]: Dory was outside before me, and now she is going to be loaded first. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm worried there might not be enough work left when it's my turn. [SPEAKER_00]: Three of them confessed. [SPEAKER_00]: Dory looked surprised. [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, there even I didn't know you were worried about that.

[SPEAKER_00]: She smiled sympathetically and added, there must be enough work for both of us. [SPEAKER_00]: The contractor wouldn't have asked us both to work, if we both weren't needed. [SPEAKER_00]: story is right. [SPEAKER_00]: This does look like a great deal of gravel. [SPEAKER_00]: Ellie added thoughtfully.

[SPEAKER_00]: I wonder how many scoops and truckloads it will take to move all of it. [SPEAKER_00]: There was a twinkle in the little excavators had lights as she said this. [SPEAKER_00]: Driven locked at the pile again. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not sure, he said. [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe we could turn that question into a game, Ellie suggested.

[SPEAKER_00]: While Dory is being loaded, we could all guess how many scoops it will take to fill her bed and see who comes out closest. [SPEAKER_00]: Dream and parked up a little. [SPEAKER_00]: That did sound like a fun game. [SPEAKER_00]: Plus, it would help them figure out how much work they're was.

[SPEAKER_00]: OK, let's do it. [SPEAKER_00]: He said, Ellen was finally ready to begin, and she lowered her scoop into the tiny rocks. [SPEAKER_00]: How many scoops do you think it will take? [SPEAKER_00]: She asked for Dorie Guest. [SPEAKER_00]: Raven studied the size of Dorie's truck bed. [SPEAKER_00]: I think it will take five.

[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm, I'll say, six, said Ellie. [SPEAKER_00]: Let's find out. [SPEAKER_00]: Her scoop dipped into the gravel and rose with a heavy load, swinging over Dorie's bed. [SPEAKER_00]: Ellie turned the scoop over and rocks tumble down, landing with a rattling sound. [SPEAKER_00]: One, the three vehicles counted.

[SPEAKER_00]: Ellie gathered another scoop. [SPEAKER_00]: Driven watched closely, curious to see if his guess would be correct. [SPEAKER_00]: Three, four. [SPEAKER_00]: Dory's bed was nearly full, but there was still a little space at the top. [SPEAKER_00]: Ellie added one final scoop. [SPEAKER_00]: Five, the vehicles called together.

[SPEAKER_00]: You were right, driven. [SPEAKER_00]: You won the first round, Dory exclaimed. [SPEAKER_00]: Now it's your turn to be loaded up, said Ellie. [SPEAKER_00]: Dory's driver guided her across the yard to the pathway. [SPEAKER_00]: As Dory rolled away, driven driver brought him into the open space beside Ellie.

[SPEAKER_00]: See, Ellie said, while Dory carries her load, I can fill your bed. [SPEAKER_00]: If there were only one dump truck, I would have to wait for that truck to return. [SPEAKER_00]: The three of them looked from Ellie to Dory, who was already traveling steadily across the yard. [SPEAKER_00]: He had not thought of that.

[SPEAKER_00]: So having two dumb trucks helps everyone keep working, he realized. [SPEAKER_00]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_00]: Ellie replied. [SPEAKER_00]: Dory called from across the yard. [SPEAKER_00]: How many scoops will it take to fill Dreeben? [SPEAKER_00]: Dreeben looked back at his own truck bed. [SPEAKER_00]: Dory's bed had steep sides that slanted inward, making it a little narrower near the bottom.

[SPEAKER_00]: Dreeben's bed was wider from side to side. [SPEAKER_00]: So he thought it might hold an extra scoop. [SPEAKER_00]: Sixth, he called back. [SPEAKER_00]: I think it will be five again, Dory Guest. [SPEAKER_00]: I'll guess six, two, said Ellie, let's find out. [SPEAKER_00]: Ellie lowered her scoop into the gravel.

[SPEAKER_00]: One, the three vehicles counted as the first load rattled into Driefens bed. [SPEAKER_00]: Two, three. [SPEAKER_00]: As Ellie continued loading, Driefen felt the gravel spread across the wide bottom of his bed. [SPEAKER_00]: Four, five, three events bed was nearly full, but there was still room for one more scoop.

[SPEAKER_00]: Six, everyone cheered as Ellie added the last load. [SPEAKER_00]: You and Ellie were right, Dory called, as she returned from unloading. [SPEAKER_00]: Dr. Evan Grind broadly, not only had he guessed correctly twice, but he was full of gravel. [SPEAKER_00]: There had certainly been enough work for him and after all.

[SPEAKER_00]: Dr. Evan carried the load across the yard while Dory returned to Ellie. [SPEAKER_00]: vehicles continue their guessing game as they worked. [SPEAKER_00]: This time trying to guess how many loads it would take to move the entire pile. [SPEAKER_00]: With each load, the original pile became shorter and flatter.

[SPEAKER_00]: The new pile beside the pathway grew wire and taller. [SPEAKER_00]: After several trips, Dory rolled past three of them and said, I'm glad you're here today. [SPEAKER_00]: When I first saw that enormous pile, I wondered how long it would take on dump truck to move it alone. [SPEAKER_00]: Dory then was surprised.

[SPEAKER_00]: While he had worried the Dory might take all the work, Dory had been relieved to have someone helping her. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm glad you're here too, Drief and Reply. [SPEAKER_00]: We're getting the job done much faster together. [SPEAKER_00]: At last, Ellie gathered the final scoop of gravel imported into Drief and Spad.

[SPEAKER_00]: 13 truckloads, Dory exclaimed, I guess correctly. [SPEAKER_00]: The vehicles all laughed together. [SPEAKER_00]: Glad the original pile was empty. [SPEAKER_00]: Three men's driver guided him safely across the yard one final time. [SPEAKER_00]: He's bed lifted and the last gravel slid out with a rumble.

[SPEAKER_00]: The job was complete. [SPEAKER_00]: Three men admired the new gravel pile by the pathway. [SPEAKER_00]: That morning, he had been afraid there would not be enough work for two dump trucks. [SPEAKER_00]: Now he understood that Dorie arriving first had never taken away his chance to help.

[SPEAKER_00]: The team had needed both of them. [SPEAKER_00]: A horn sounded announcing the end of the work day. [SPEAKER_00]: The drivers guided the tired vehicles back toward their garages. [SPEAKER_00]: Three of them striver, parked him safely inside his cozy garage, and switched off his engine. [SPEAKER_00]: Three of them settled his tires into their usual spots, and tents tightly before relaxing.

[SPEAKER_00]: And he allowed a long, sleepy hour on. [SPEAKER_00]: As greatful thoughts built his mind, driven, felt grateful that there had been plenty of gravel for both dumb trucks to carry. [SPEAKER_00]: He took a deep, dragon breath in and out. [SPEAKER_00]: Three of them felt grateful that Ellie had suggested a guessing game to play.

[SPEAKER_00]: That made waiting for his work more fun. [SPEAKER_00]: A little dumb truck to another deep dragon breath in and out. [SPEAKER_00]: Most of all, three of them felt grateful for Dory. [SPEAKER_00]: And for the important work they had shared. [SPEAKER_00]: We took one final deep dragon breath.

[SPEAKER_00]: and out. [SPEAKER_00]: Dreaming of working beside his friends on another big project. [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you for joining us to be called Monopal Bay Island. [SPEAKER_00]: See you next time.
