Brad's Bridge

Brad had a big, red truck. His truck was on a track. But a big branch was on the track. The branch was a block.

Brad had a sad sob. "Oh no," Brad said. "The branch is on the track."

Brad had a plan. He got a brick. He put the brick on the track. He got a big push on the branch. The branch slid up the brick. Plop! It fell off.

"Yes!" said Brad. His truck ran on the track. It was a brisk trip.
