THE ALARM CLOCK RANG AT FIVE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING. IT WAS TIME FOR THE WORKERS TO HEAD OFF TO THE CONSTRUCTION SITE. THEY WERE BUILDING A FANCY, NEW SENIORS COMPLEX.

THE MEN WERE ALL PRETTY TIRED AS THEY SIPPED THEIR MORNING COFFEE. THEIR EYELIDS WERE HEAVY AND THEY COULDN'T STOP YAWNING. THEY WERE READY TO WORK WHILE MOST OF THEIR FAMILY AND FRIENDS WERE STILL SLEEPING.

ALL OF THE MACHINES WERE READY FOR ANOTHER BUSY DAY ON THE CONSTRUCTION SITE. THE ROAD GRATER, THE BULL DOZER, THE CRANE, THE FRONT LOADER, AND THE ROLLER HAD WAITED ALL NIGHT TO GET BACK TO WORK.

THE ONLY ONE WHO WASN'T GOING TO WORK WAS L'IL CHUCK. HE WAS A SMALL BLUE DUMPTRUCK. ONE DAY HE WAS GOING TO HELP MOVE ALL TYPES OF MATERIALS, BUT FOR NOW, HE WAS JUST TOO TINY. ALL HE COULD WAS TO SIT BACK AND WATCH.

WHILE THE OTHER MACHINES WERE BUSY WITH THE CONSTRUCTION WORKERS, CHUCK WAS STARTING TO GET BORED. HE WANTED TO BE PART OF THE CREW SO MUCH. SOMETIMES THEY'D LET HIM CLEAN UP BUT NOT VERY OFTEN. "WHEN YOU'RE BIGGER" THEY'D ALWAYS SAY.

DURING THE LUNCH BREAK, THE OTHER MACHINES WOULD LET CHUCK DRIVE AROUND THE SITE. WHEN NOBODY WAS LOOKING, HE TRIED TO PICK UP SOME ROCKS BUT THEY WERE TOO HEAVY. HE ENDED UP TIPPING OVER AND IT MADE A REALLY LOUD SOUND THAT SCARED HIM.

"NOW CHUCK, WE KNOW THAT YOU WANT TO BE PART OF THE CREW BUT YOU'RE NOT BIG ENOUGH. WE DON'T WANT YOU TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. ONE DAY YOU'LL BE READY TO BE A MEMBER OF OUR TEAM" THE BULLDOZER TOLD HIM. CHUCK SIGHED AS HE WATCHED THE OTHERS WORK.

THE DAY WAS COMING TO AN END WHEN BIFF NOTICED THAT GROVER WAS MISSING. "HEY, HAVE YOU SEEN GROVER?" "NOT SINCE LUNCH" REPLIED SULLY. "I DON'T THINK HE LEFT EARLY. THAT'S NOT LIKE HIM." THE MEN CALLED OUT FOR THEIR FRIEND AND THE MACHINES DROVE AROUND TRYING TO FIND HIM.

"CHUCK"

Dan Mazur

Chuck is a small dumptruck who desperately wants to work alongside his fellow machines on a construction site. Unfortunately he's just too tiny for that kind of work. But Chuck's small size will come in handy one day as he has a chance to become a hero.
