The Garbage Truck Comes After School
I help my family by wheeling out the garbage can. I share this job with my family each week. The night before collection, I roll the can to the curb. My family thanks me for remembering this task.
Illustrations still show Sammy.
One-time per story. Takes about 2 minutes.

The Wait Feels Very Hard
On collection mornings, I feel a big worry inside. I want to watch the garbage truck come and go. Sometimes I wake up very early to wait. The waiting feels hard when school time gets closer.

Mum Helps Me Understand
Mum sat with me at the kitchen table one morning. She told me the garbage truck comes after school. The can waits safely at the curb all day. It is okay that I am not there to watch.

The Can Does Its Job While I Do Mine
At school, I think about what Mum told me. The garbage truck visits our street while I learn. The can is doing its job, and I am doing mine. Many families share the same truck on collection day.

The Truck Came, and I Am Home
After school, I walk home and see the can at the curb. The truck already came and collected the garbage. I wheel the can back up the driveway with a smile. My family is proud, and I am proud of myself too.
