The Fix-It Man: A Tale in the Style of Dora the Explorer


By Bruce

One day Dora bought a tractor.
A tractor!

This tractor was nice. It was green.
People like green tractors.

Dora wanted to use the tractor to move some dirt.
Move dirt move.
Ahhhhhh, the tractor has a leak.
Yes, el fuga- a leak.
We can take it to the fix-it man!
Yes, the fix it man.
He will fix the leak.
But first we must get a trailer to pull the tractor to go to the fix-it man.
John has a trailer! Remolque!
Boots, where is John? John is at Philip's.
Go to Philip's
We are getting a trailer. A trailer! to go to the fix it man.

Ahhhhhh, the trailer has no ramps.
First we must get some ramps to help the tractor get on the trailer to go to the fix-it man.
Keith has some ramps.
We are going to Keith's to get some ramps.
El rampa!
Boots, get the ramps from the nice man with no hair.

We are loading the trailer. The trailer! To go to the fix-it man.
Ahhhhhhh, the trailer has no straps.
Boots, where can we get the straps?
Keith has straps.
No, Daniel has Keith's straps.
Daniel?
Danuel.
Oh Danuel has the straps.
We are loading the trailer. The trailer! To go to the fix-it man.

Ahhhhhh, the tractor won't start.
Jump it! Jump it! We must jump the tractor.
Boots, how can we jump it?
Get the ATV.
ATV jumps!
Ahhhhh, the ATV isn't big enough.
Boots, what's bigger?
A Truck! Yes a truck.
Ahhhhhh, the truck's attached to the trailer and can't come back here.
Take the trailer off! Dumpo the remolque!
Truck jumps it.

We are loading the trailer. The trailer! To go to the fix-it man.
We got the truck which got John's trailer at Philip's.
We got Keith's ramps. We got Keith's straps from Daniel.
We connected the trailer. We unconnected the trailer.
Swiper- no swiping!
Swiper- no swiping!
The ATV didn't work, but the truck did. We are jumped.
Ahhhhhhhh, the tractor won't move.
Boots, what do we do? Call the fix it man!
Fix it man says we need fluid.
Fluid? Liquida!
We are going to the store to buy the liquida to move the tractor to load the trailer to drive to the fix-it man.
It works!
It works?
Worka Bueno Mucho.
We are loading, loading the trailer.
Now its dark.
We must go inside.
We are not strapping the tractor with the new liquida on the trailer attached to the truck to drive to the fix-it man.
We are going to eat now. Maybe tomorrow.
