NAME:

Excavators and other machines

There is a big hole in the street towards the arrival of the ferry. A street repair team comes to fix it. All residents are watching.
– Wow, look at that excavator! – exclaims the monkey Ivo.
He wanted to be driving the machine.
– That dump truck is fantastic! – exclaims the giraffe Giro. He tilts the body and dumps rock and earth into the hole.

“I can't believe how much noise they make,” Grandma Dino complains about the sound of the machines.
The hole is filled in, and the repair team brings in a machine to firmly compact the earth in the hole.
Bup-bup-bup-bup-bup! The machine is hitting the earth in the hole. Giro loves it.
- Hey you! Want to command here? – calls the worker who drives to the compacting machine.
– Who, me? - Asks Giro. He can't believe it.
– Yes, come and try! – The technician laughed.
Spin grabs the machine levers and presses the button. And there he goes, pounding the earth to make it compact. The machine makes Giro's body jump and shake!
– O-b-b-b-b! - Giro tries to say while his teeth chatter.
Everyone laughs. Spin is jumping as much as the machine. But he's doing a good job. Finally, Spin stops.
– My body is still shaking! – he laughs – How crazy! It is very fun!
