Pete (a mighty diesel truck) and Pillar (a bulldozer) were best freinds... which may seem odd, because everybody knows haulers don't talk to diggers. But they didn't care what others thought. They were best friends anyway. As they worked side by side their friendship grew until one day it was tested in a big way.

When a major thunderstorm threatens to flood the village Pete and Pillar realize something must be done -- and fast! While Pillar is busily scooping boulders onto the bank to stop the flow of water, he looks up and finds Pete missing.

Wondering how his friend could leave him at such a critial time, Pillar follows Pete's muddy tracks in order to find him. He finally finds Pete, buried up to his smokestack in the mud in an effort to support the weakened dam that promises to burst at any minute. Pete had sacrificed himself for his friend and the entire village!

Now it was up to Pillar to save his best friend. Could he do it?

Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13 (NIV)
