It was a bright morning, and the big trucks were ready to work hard. They were excited to build new things!
“Let’s push,” said Dozer. “Let’s dig,” said Digger. Together, they built tall buildings, roads, and bridges. They worked and worked until it was time for a break.
While the other trucks rested, Digger found something special in the dirt. “Hello there,” he said. It was a tiny, beautiful flower!
Every day, Digger visited the flower. He gave it water when it was thirsty, protected it from the wind, and sang it a sweet song before bedtime. The flower grew bigger and stronger!
The city was getting bigger too. Soon, there was only one empty space left. “We need to build here,” said Crane. Dozer started his engine, ready to work.
Digger tried to stop Dozer, but the flower got knocked down. When the dust settled, Digger saw little seeds in the dirt. He carefully picked them up.
Digger drove far away, past all the buildings and houses, to a quiet place where no big truck had been before. He planted the seeds in the warm earth.
Every day, Digger took care of the seeds. He watered them, protected them from the wind, and sang them a bedtime song. Soon, new flowers began to grow!

**The Digger and the Flower** by Joseph Kiefer
It was morning, and the big trucks were ready to work.
“Let’s push,” said Dozer.
“Let’s dig,” said Digger.
Together, they built tall buildings for working, roads for driving, and bridges for crossing. They built and built until the loud whistle blew.
“I’m beat,” said Crane.
“Me too,” said Dozer.
The other big trucks took a break, but Digger did not. He had found something in the rubble.
“Hello there,” he said. The flower was tiny, but it was beautiful.
Every day, while the other big trucks built, Digger visited the flower. He watered it when its leaves looked dry, shielded it on windy days, and just before he switched off for the night, Digger sang the flower a bedtime song.
The flower grew, but the city grew too. Soon, every space had been filled—every space but one.
“We need to put a building here,” said Crane.
Dozer started his engine.
Digger tried to stop him, but Dozer blew a big puff of smoke and cut the flower down.
Then the other big trucks went back to work, but Digger did not. When the smoke cleared, Digger saw something in the rubble—little seeds.
He scooped them up and drove past the tall buildings, past the farthest house on the farthest street, to a place no big truck had ever been.
There, Digger stopped. He dug and planted the seeds into the warm earth.
Every day, Digger cared for the seeds. He watered them when their leaves looked dry, shielded them on windy days, and just before he switched off for the night, he sang the flowers a bedtime song.
