Joshie's Excavator

Joshie loved to play with toy excavators. His dad, mom and grandparents gifted him excavators.

He loved to play with his friends.

One day, he noticed his favorite excavator could not move well. "Why is my excavator not moving?" He wondered.

He picked it up and looked at the wheels.

"The wheel is stuck!" Joshie exclaimed. He asked his daddy for help.

"Let's fix it together," Daddy replied.

Joshie held the car while Daddy showed him how to use a small tool.

"Wow, let me try to fix it too!" Joshie said as he fixed the wheel.

When the car moved again, Joshie jumped with joy. "I fixed it! I am so smart!" he exclaimed.

"Maybe I can make my excavator one day," he said.

"You can do anything you set your mind to, Joshie," his mummy said.

Joshie smiled and ran around the house shouting, "I can do anything!"

From that day on, Joshie wanted to fix and build things.
