Once upon a time there was a vehicle that could travel through mines. It was a gigantic machine with a big bucket on the front. The driver used it to collect rocks and minerals from deep inside the earth.
One day, the vehicle broke down and the driver had to find another way to collect the rocks. Instead of using the vehicle, he decided to use a platform that could fit enough rocks in a single trip. He found that this new platform was much easier to use and just as effective.
The end.

Reflections

1. What was the original vehicle used for in the story?
2. Why did the driver switch to the platform instead of fixing the vehicle?
3. How did the driver collect the rocks with the platform?
4. Was the new way of collecting rocks as effective as the old way?
5. Why do you think the driver found the platform easier to use than the vehicle?
