"What a Great Day"

The time was coming for Mothers Day.  All of Samsons friends were making cards for their mothers.  His friends used crayons and drew hearts and flowers on the cards.  However, there was a problem...even though cars like Vuong have great dexterity and are able to be artistic like that, Samson is a big truck and isn't as skilled at fine motor skills.  He thought and thought about what he could do for Mothers Day. 

Mothers Day arrived and he sat sadly in the driveway because he had no gift ready.  Then Reed and Meghan came out dressed in work clothes.  They told Samson that he was going to be part of a giant Mothers Day gift.  Samson was so happy!  He went to a mothers house and sat patiently as people put lots of garbage into his truck bed.  Meghan told Samson that he was so strong and perfect for this job.  Even though Vuong makes nice cards, he isn't able to haul heavy things very well.  Samson made two trips to the dump.  While he was there he saw lots of other truck friends. 

After the hauling work was done, Samson was tired.  The mother he had helped beamed with joy and told Samson that this was the best Mothers Day gift ever.  As he rested in the driveway and visited Sacagawea and Pokey, his cat friends, Samson thought to himself "what a great day!".
