A big construction truck sits on a blank white page. He waits for color.

A giant blue crayon rolls in. It taps his hood with a sharp click.

Cool wax rubs against metal. A bright blue stripe spreads across the bumper.

A red marker zooms in. It scribbles fast circles on the roof.

Truck hums a low rumble. Red dots pop like berries.

A green paintbrush swoops down. It splashes mud-green spots on the tires.

Truck revs loudly. The paper shakes beneath him.

Truck stands proud. Covered in swirls, he winks. Ready for tomorrow.
