Once upon a time, in the cheerful town of Cozyville, lived some friendly car friends: Timmy the blue Truck, Rosie the red Racecar, Ferris the red Fire Engine, and Betty the yellow Bus. They had a wonderful day driving and playing. As the sun began to set, painting the sky, it was time for the cars to get ready for their cozy garage, which was their home and bed.
Timmy Truck was about to roll inside when he stopped. "Oh no!" he beeped softly. "Where is my little red flag? I always have my little red flag for bedtime!" Timmy felt a little sad without his favorite toy.
Rosie Racecar zipped closer. "What's the matter, Timmy?" she asked. Ferris Fire Engine rumbled, "Can we help you find it?" Betty the Bus rolled up gently. All Timmy's friends wanted to help him.
As they looked near the garage entrance, Betty Bus noticed something red peeking out. "Look!" she said softly. "Is that it, Timmy? It looks like your flag rolled right under my big tire!"
It was true! The little red flag was hiding just out of reach under Betty's tire. Betty was very, very careful. She wiggled her tires just a tiny bit, ever so slowly, giving Timmy just enough space to reach and grab his flag. "Yay! I found it!" Timmy cheered.
Timmy turned to his friends. "Thank you all so much for helping me!" he said. Rosie, Ferris, and Betty all felt happy inside. It felt good to help their friend.
Now, with the flag found, everyone was ready for sleep. One by one, the car friends rolled into their spots inside the big, warm garage. The garage door closed quietly. Timmy Truck, Rosie Racecar, Ferris Fire Engine, and Betty Bus were all tucked in, quiet and still. Soon, sleepy sounds filled the air. The friendly cars of Cozyville were fast asleep, dreaming sweet dreams until morning. Zzzz.
