[edit] Story
Mr. Strong is so strong from eating many eggs, enough that he can break things, until he finds a farmer whose cornfield is on fire. Mr. Strong is so strong he picks up the farmer's barn and fills it with water, pours the water on the cornfield, extinguishing it. Mr. Strong is rewarded with eggs from the chickens on the farm. At the end of the story, the reader is surprised to find out that Mr. Strong is having ice cream.

[edit] The Mr. Men Show
In the 2008 Mr. Men Show, Mr. Strong retains his red color, but his shape is changed into a triangle, and he gains muscular arms to emphasize his character trait. He also gains a brown belt and in the US version a Brooklyn accent, similar to actor Sylvester Stallone. His catchphrase is "Aw, pickles!", and he usually says this when he breaks something by barely even touching it.
