The smell of boiled crawfish filled the Louisiana kitchen, mixing with steam rising from the big silver pot. The wooden table was covered in newspaper, already stained with seasoning, and piled high with bright red crawfish, steaming potatoes, and golden corn. Gage sat on his knees, eyes wide as he stared at the mound of crawfish in front of him. His little brother wiggled in his high chair, smacking the tray while Daddy leaned back with a grin, beer in hand. Momma rolled up her sleeves. “Alright, cher, time to learn how to peel a crawfish.” Gage hesitated. “What if I mess up?” Momma laughed, grabbing a fat crawfish. “Ain’t no wrong way, long as you get the meat out. But I’ll show you the right way.” She held the crawfish up. “First, grab it where the head and tail meet—right here. Now twist.” With a quick motion, she popped off the head. “Some folks suck the head for the good juices.” Gage gagged. “Ew, no way!” Daddy chuckled. “More for me, then!” Momma shook her head, smiling. “Alright, suit yourself. Now, pinch the end of the tail, squeeze a little, and pull.” She slid out the perfect piece of meat and dipped it in butter. “See? Easy.” Gage copied her, his fingers fumbling at first—twist, pinch, pull. Out came the juicy meat. “I did it!” Momma clapped. “That’s my boy! Now try it.” He dipped it in the butter and took a bite. His face lit up. “Mmm! That’s good!” His little brother babbled, reaching for the pile. Daddy laughed. “Looks like we got another crawfish lover.” The kitchen filled with laughter as they peeled and ate, passing corn and potatoes around. Gage wiped his hands and reached for another. “Momma, I think I’m getting good at this.” Momma ruffled his hair. “Told you, cher. Crawfish season ain’t just about eatin’. It’s about family.” And that night, under the warm glow of their Cajun kitchen, Gage became a true crawfish peeler.

Harry the Hog Drives That Big Red Truck Harry was a small hog—smaller than his brothers and sisters. His mother was a pretty hog, and his father was big and strong. They all lived on the same farm for many years, under the care of Farmer Jenkins, who treated Harry and his family with kindness. Every morning at sunrise, Farmer Jenkins would pull up in his big red truck to feed all the hogs. Ever since Harry was a piglet, he dreamed of driving that big red truck one day. He told his parents about his dream, but his mother shook her head. "Harry, we're hogs. We can't drive trucks. We live in the mud on this farm." But Harry didn’t give up. His dream to drive that big red truck kept him going. At bedtime, Harry told his brother about his dream, but his brother just told him to go to sleep. While Harry’s brother dreamed of rolling around in gooey mud, Harry couldn’t stop thinking about driving that big red truck. Harry was always the first hog awake in the mornings, eager to watch Farmer Jenkins pull up in that big red truck. The other hogs were already thinking about breakfast, but Harry was focused on studying every move Farmer Jenkins made as he parked and unloaded their food. One morning, Harry woke up before dawn. The sky was still dark, and the air was thick with clouds. He thought he might’ve woken up too early, but it wasn’t the time—it was just a stormy morning. Heavy rain started to pour down as a loud crash of thunder shook the farm. Despite the storm, Harry was determined to see that big red truck, so he slipped into his bright yellow raincoat and boots—his name written on the sides—and ran to the end of the hog pen to watch.
