The next day came and the farmer was in uncharacteristically high spirits. Aley was so thankful that she almost dropped to her knees in joy .
Even after the fact that she had to share the pigs' pen in the truck failed to dampen her ebullience.
She started humming a merry tune, almost lulled to sleep by the gentle rocking of the truck.
Suddenly , she heard anything loud sound and the truck stopped . Hurriedly, she peered over the side, only to see the rear tyre of the truck flat on the muddy road.
The farmer was already out of the truck examining the damage.
