It?s another busy day for Stanley and friends on the construction site!
When Myrtle buys a plot of land, she asks her friend Stanley to build her a new house. He works step by step?from clearing the site with his orange bulldozer, to digging the foundation with his yellow digger, to pouring the cement, laying the bricks, lifting beams with his green crane, and finally painting in Myrtle?s favorite colors. Luckily, Stanley?s friend Charlie helps out, too. And at the end of a day of hard work, Stanley returns home where it?s ?Time for supper! Time for a bath! And time for bed!?
