Water truck children story: The Water Truck Takes a Break
The water truck usually works at construction sites, but today it is taking a break. Early in the morning, the water truck fills its tank with water because it likes the feeling of a full tank, even when it is resting. The water truck walks down the road, troubled by a problem. It gets distracted for a moment and almost crashes into a utility pole.
What should it do during a break? A break means doing nothing! Okay, then it will do nothing! The water truck hums a tune while walking: La la la…
The water truck passes by a small apple tree. The apple tree’s leaves are yellow and drooping, looking lifeless. The small apple tree must be thirsty. It would be great if it could rain.
The water truck looks up at the sky. There isn’t a single dark cloud. Sigh!
While the water truck is sighing, it suddenly remembers that its tank is full of water! Splash, splash…
The water truck waters the small apple tree, just like a rain shower. The small apple tree drinks its fill and finally looks lively. Its trunk stands tall, and its leaves shine.
Before the small apple tree can express its gratitude, the water truck has already left. Today it is resting and still has more nothing to do.
This road is really dirty, full of mud. The water truck can’t stand walking on such a dirty road. It leaves the dirty road and detours to a clean one.
However, after a while, it circles back. A dirty road like this can’t be left unattended. Splash, splash…
The water truck starts cleaning the muddy road, washing it clean with water.
Now the water truck can walk on the clean road and do nothing but stroll.
Boom, boom—it’s the sound of the excavator.
The excavator has just cleaned the silt from the river, making itself dirty and smelly. All the vehicles on the road avoid it.
The water truck goes to the excavator and lets the cleaning workers connect a hose to give the excavator a wash.
Before the excavator can express its thanks, the water truck is already back on the road. Its task today is to do nothing.
Thick smoke drifts over, as if something is on fire. The water truck hurries to the front to check it out.
Thick smoke and flames are coming out of a house’s window, and the fire is growing bigger.
People rush out of the house in panic, shouting, “Help! Help!”
“Someone come and put out the fire!”
“Quick, call the fire truck!”
The water truck rushes forward, sets up a hose, and starts spraying water to put out the fire.
By the time the fire truck arrives, the water truck has already extinguished the fire. When people look to thank the water truck, they find it has disappeared.
The water truck has something more important to do, and that is: doing nothing!
The water truck’s tank is empty, not a drop of water left.
It hums a tune while walking home: La la la la la la…
The water truck loves rest days because it can do nothing, and it feels great!
