The Amazing Truck Ride
Huckle was playing with his little truck. He pushed it along a road that went in a circle. He pushed it around and around. Boy that was boring!
"I am tired of this road," he thought. "I'm going to take the truck on an amazing ride."
So he took the truck off the road and started pushing it along the rug.
"Now it's driving across a large field of swim-swam weeds."
Then he pushed the truck onto the wall.
"Here is Trunka-Clunka Mountain. It will be tough going, but I believe my truck acn climb it."
Huckle slowly pushed the truck up the wall. Once it was as high as he could get it, he started pushing it sideways along the wall.
He reached the bathroom and pushed the truck along the sink. He turned on the faucet.
"Look, truck, there's the Bipnoebee Falls."
Next he pushed the truck into the bathtub and turned on the shower.
"Oh no! Now it's raining really hard!"
Huckle flashed the ceiling light on and off and said it was lightening. He then flushed the toilet and said that was thunder. The tub was filling up with water, and the truck was beginning to get completely covered with water.
"Now there is a flood. What is my poor truck going to do?"
Huckle though a minute and then tossed a bar of soap into the water and placed the truck upon it.
"A ferry will carry the truck over the water to safety" he stated.
Next he took the truck out of th bathtub and drove it over the towels to dry it off. Then he drove the truck along the wall out of the bathroom. He kept going along the wall until he reached the kitchen.
"Now we are at the North Pole," he said as he opened the freezer and stuck the truck inside of it."
He pushed the truck around in the freezer and down into the refrigerator. As he was pushing the truck around, he accidentally dropped it into a bowl of Jello that was on the bottom shelf.
"My truck is being eaten by a big, read slimy monster!" he cried.
Huckle rescued the truck from the monster. He then took the truck out of the refrigerator, made a pitstop at Riobahneo Falls in the sink to clean the truck, and then he head for the stove.
"Now you will dry off as you ride through the Hooky-Bah-Nooky Desert."
He looked up and saw his mom standing by the stove shaking her finger at him.
"Whoops," he said. "I'm sorry. I forgot that I am not allowed near the stove. I just got carried away in my imagining."
"Why don't you take your truck outside?" his mom suggested.
"Okay," he replied.
He pushed his truck along the floor and out the door. As he pushed the truck in the long grass, he described it as the wild Quim-Quam Jungle.
In the next yard, Sonny was sleeping on a blanket. Huckle pushed the truck near him.
He whispered, "Here is the sleeping Geala-Heala giant. We must not disturb him because he eats little boys and their trucks. Let's ride gently across his tummy without waking him up."
Huckle slowly started to push the truck over Sonny. All of a sudden, Sonny jumped up and shouted. He grabbed the truck and threw it into the air.
"Oh, it was just you Huckle. I dreamt that a snake was crawling on me. What are you doing?" asked Sonny.
"Just playing with my truck. Now you will have to help me get it out of the arms of the giant Wugger spider."
"What?" Huckle pointed to a branch in the tree nearby. The truck was caught in it.
Sonny shook he head. He went into his house and came back with a broom. He knocked the truck out of the tree. The truck came down and landed in a big mud puddle which Huckle called the Smello-Bello Swamp.
Huckle's mom called him in for supper. Huckle thanked Sonny and drove his truck across the Quim-Quam Jungle, back across the Swim-Swam weeds, and into the house. He then place it back onto the little circular road. He parked the truck and smiled.
"Now that is what I would call an amazing truck ride!"
