Harry the Hog Drives That Big Red Truck Harry was a small hog—smaller than his brothers and sisters. His mother was a pretty hog, and his father was big and strong. They all lived on the same farm for many years, under the care of Farmer Jenkins, who treated Harry and his family with kindness. Every morning at sunrise, Farmer Jenkins would pull up in his big red truck to feed all the hogs. Ever since Harry was a piglet, he dreamed of driving that big red truck one day. He told his parents about his dream, but his mother shook her head. "Harry, we're hogs. We can't drive trucks. We live in the mud on this farm." But Harry didn’t give up. His dream to drive that big red truck kept him going. At bedtime, Harry told his brother about his dream, but his brother just told him to go to sleep. While Harry’s brother dreamed of rolling around in gooey mud, Harry couldn’t stop thinking about driving that big red truck. Harry was always the first hog awake in the mornings, eager to watch Farmer Jenkins pull up in that big red truck. The other hogs were already thinking about breakfast, but Harry was focused on studying every move Farmer Jenkins made as he parked and unloaded their food. One morning, Harry woke up before dawn. The sky was still dark, and the air was thick with clouds. He thought he might’ve woken up too early, but it wasn’t the time—it was just a stormy morning. Heavy rain started to pour down as a loud crash of thunder shook the farm. Despite the storm, Harry was determined to see that big red truck, so he slipped into his bright yellow raincoat and boots—his name written on the sides—and ran to the end of the hog pen to watch.
