The Garbage Truck Comes After School
I like helping my family at home. Every evening before collection day, I roll out the garbage can. Putting the can by the curb makes me feel proud.

Waiting Is Very Hard
The garbage truck comes to my street after school. Sometimes I wake up very early, waiting for the truck. My heart beats fast, and it is hard to wait.

Learning to Breathe
Mom shows me a way to feel calm inside. I can try to breathe slowly and take a break. Breathing slowly helps my heart feel steady again.

Going to School with Dad
On collection day, my heart starts to beat fast again. Dad stands close and reminds me to breathe and stay calm. I take a slow breath and walk to the school bus.

The Truck Came — and So Did I
After school, the empty garbage can is waiting by the curb. The garbage truck came while I was at school. I feel proud and brave for going to school today.
