Once upon a time, there was a lorry who wanted to be the bell of the town. So, he went to the top of a hill and rang his horn loudly, but no one paid attention. Frustrated, he decided to try a different approach and got a doll to sit on his roof. The next time he rang his horn, everyone stopped to admire the cute doll. The lorry was finally the bell of the town!

One day, the lorry and the doll went on a ship to visit other towns. They played with a ball on deck and drummed on the ship's drums. When they arrived at a port, they took a bus to explore.

In their travels, they came across a box that was too big for them to carry. So, they tied it to a kite and flew it over the town. To their surprise, when they opened the box, it was full of toys for the children!

The lorry and the doll became famous for their kindness and creativity, and everywhere they went, children would run after their car, hoping for a toy from the box. And that is how the lorry became the most beloved toy-bringer in all the land.
