The lazy one

The moody one

Everyday, lots of old tyres are thrown away.

1

This is the story of a very sad tyre.

His name is Tyred.

2

“Help! I can’t stop!”

One day, Tyred is playing near a cliff...

3

“Save me!”

“Oh, no!”

4

“Another tyre!”

Moans the river.

5

Tyred meets lots of other objects in the river.

They are all very sad.

Hi!

Hello!

6

And sees other tyres who are hundreds of years old.

HELP!

?

7

!

?

Tyred isn’t dangerous. But ...

Be careful, it’s a monster.

It can kill us!

?

Go!

Oh! 8

This makes Tyred even sadder.

Tyred decides to escape.

9

One night, he jumps onto a fisherman’s line.

But the line breaks!

?

10

Then, one day he hears some friendly voices.

“Tut, tut, tut. There’s so much rubbish in the river!”

HELP! HELP!

11

“There is a tyre over there”

“Let’s rescue him”

12

HELP! HELP!

13

“Sure. We’ll talk to Tree”

“Hey birds, please help Tyred”

14

“Hi Tree. Here’s the plan to save Tyred ...”

15

“Oh no! A waterfall!”

16

As Tyred falls, Tree catches him.

“Hold on!”

17

And throws him high in the sky.

18

Tyred flies a long, long way ...

19

“Wheeeeeeee!”

Ha, Ha, Ha!

20

Thanks windmills.

Let’s help Tyred!

... and lands in a recycling truck.
