One day, Trash Truck was not feeling well. He was coughing and needed to rest. Trash Truck’s friends, Donny and Walter, noticed he wasn’t picking up the trash. They decided to help him out!
Donny and Walter said, “We will help you, Trash Truck!” They were excited to be garbagemen for the day. They knew they could do a great job while Trash Truck got better.
Trash Truck needed to rest, just like when we feel sick and need to take a break. Sometimes, when we’re sick, we drink warm tea or watch TV to feel better. Trash Truck could do the same!
Donny and Walter were ready to collect the trash. They imagined themselves as the best garbagemen ever! They even pretended to be on an adventure with Trash Truck and his best friend, Hank.
As they picked up the trash, Donny and Walter found some interesting things. They joked about finding a “jackpot” of fun items. They were having a great time helping out their friend.
Donny and Walter showed that helping friends is important. They made sure Trash Truck could rest and get better. Working together made the job fun and easy!
Remember, when someone is not feeling well, it’s nice to help them out. Just like Donny and Walter helped Trash Truck, we can help our friends and family too!
Trash Collection Adventure: Create a pretend play scenario where you and your friends or family members can be like Donny and Walter. Gather some safe, clean items from around the house (like empty boxes or plastic containers) and pretend they are trash. Take turns being the Trash Truck and the helpers. Discuss how it feels to help someone and why teamwork is important.
Rest and Relaxation Station: Set up a cozy corner with a blanket, some pillows, and a few books or toys. Pretend this is Trash Truck’s resting place. Talk about what you like to do when you need to rest. Do you have a favorite book or toy that helps you feel better? Share your ideas with a friend or family member.
Helping Hands Chart: Create a chart with your family or classmates to track acts of kindness. Every time someone helps another person, add a sticker or draw a smiley face on the chart. At the end of the week, count how many times you helped each other, just like Donny and Walter helped Trash Truck. Discuss how helping others makes you feel.
Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
—
You just need to park it and get some rest. Is that Trash Truck coughing? He’s not feeling well. No, Trash Truck, you need to get healthy. The trash cans aren’t going anywhere. Wait, are you saying that Trash Truck didn’t pick up the trash?
– Walter and I will help!
– Really? You guys would do that?
– Oh, yeah. It would be our pleasure.
Oh, that’s nice of you. See? Donny and Walter can do your route. Don’t worry, Trash Truck. We are great garbagemen. The best garbagemen. Maybe the best ever. Yeah, we’re “professionals.” I mean, how hard could it be?
No, Trash Truck. You can’t collect any more trash until you are feeling better. When I’m taking a sick day, I’ll have a cup of tea. I’ll go put the kettle on. Don’t worry. Being sick isn’t so bad.
Oh, I know. When I’m sick, my mom lets me sit on the couch and watch TV. Here’s the remote.
Vroom! Roar! I’m gonna eat you! No, Mr. Rex! “A” is for “apple,” and “B” is for “boy.” Hi, I’m Donny, and I’m Walter. Let’s get the garbage, ’cause Trash Truck is sick.
What else could be on? Oh, I know!
What are we watching? Ta-da! The Adventures of Trash Truck and Hank!
Oh, how lovely. Once upon a time, there was a truck named Trash Truck. And he had a best friend named Hank.
Oh! We have arrived. It’s just so beautiful. Remember, we are garbagemen now! So let’s do this right. These cans aren’t gonna empty themselves.
Piece of cake.
After you, Mr. Raccoon. Oh, thank you, Mr. Bear. And may I suggest that bin for you? Oh, you may. Thank you. What do we have here? Mmm, birthday cake! No, not at all. That is meatloaf.
Jackpot! Hey, check this out! Nice.
I know, right? Who would throw this out? Trash Truck should get sick more. This is fun.
