Once in a bright, bustling town, there lived a perky, green garbage truck named Gigi.

Gigi loved to zip and zap, picking up trash with a flip and a flap. Her favorite stop was Rio's house, where she’d give a gentle honk each day with a giggly groan.

Rio, a curious boy with a twinkle in his eye, waited for Gigi. 'Hello, Gigi!' he'd shout, 'Let's see what fun awaits!'

One sunny morning, Gigi noticed Rio looking a bit blue. 'What's wrong?' thought Gigi as she picked up the goo.

'I have to try something new at school today,' Rio admitted to Gigi. 'What if I can't do it? I'm a bit afraid, Gigi.'

Gigi gave a cheerful honk and said with a vroom, 'Let me tell you a secret, Rio - you’ve got a bright, brave heart!'

'Like a bird in the sky, you'll soar high and fly. You’ll try new things and won't be shy,' Gigi sang in a rhythmic rhyme.

'With every beep and boop, I knew you could troop. You've got strength, you've got might, just think of your spark each night!'

Rio smiled and took a deep breath, 'Thanks, Gigi, I feel like a champ! I'll try new things, even if my heart needs a little ramp.'

With a final honk and a friendly wave, Gigi zoomed off. 'Remember, Rio,' she beeped, 'You shine bright, and that's quite the rave!'

At school, Rio tried his new thing. He felt proud of his spark and decided to always sing.

From that day onward, whenever Rio felt a little unsure, he'd remember Gigi's words and feel pure.
