The Little Engine That Could

One দিন at the wharf, Mr. Percival recieved a letter from Sir Robert Norramby. He wanted an engine from the Narrow Gauge Railway to pull a train to Ulfstead Castle. Sir Robert Norramby asked for visitors, coal, cables, some letters from his friends, and family, and nails.

"We need to get this train set up right away." Mr. Percival told one of the workmen, "Find an engine to get the job done, and quickly."

"Right away sir." ব্যক্ত the workman. The only engine in the wharf was Makenzie, and she was shunting cars for the other engines. "Mr. Percival has a job for you." He told her, "Please meet him at the depot."

"Yes sir." ব্যক্ত Makenzie. She went to a turntable, and went to the depot to collect her train. "Makenzie, I need আপনি to get two coaches, a coal car, a flat car, a mail car, and a boxcar." ব্যক্ত Mr. Percival. "Sir Robert Norramby has a তালিকা of things he needs at the castle."

"Yes sir." ব্যক্ত Makenzie, and she went to collect the cars she needed for her train. Once she got them, she waited at the depot to have her cars loaded up. The passengers got on board, the freight was loaded, and the conductor climbed into the caboose.

Now Makenzie is capable of pulling trains that weigh 12,000 pounds. Her train weighed 11,815 pounds, so it would be difficult for her to start.

"All aboard." ব্যক্ত the conductor as he waved his green flag. "All aboard." Replied Makenzie as she blew her whistle. She tried to pull the train, but her wheels slipped a quarter of a way, then stopped. At her সেকেন্ড attempt of pulling the train, her wheels did the same thing. On her third attempt, her wheels spun very quickly, and went around forty times. She tried five আরো times, then she got it moving. "Woohoo!" Shouted Makenzie in excitement, as her wheels slipped fiercely while moving out of the depot.

It was a long way from the Wharf to Ulfstead Castle. She would arrive at the দুর্গ দ্বারা nightfall. However, every signal she passed was green. "Hello Makenzie" ব্যক্ত Duke who was resting in a siding with the picnic. "Hello Duke." ব্যক্ত Makenzie.

Shortly after Makenzie passed, Sir Handle stopped দ্বারা him. "Hi Granpuff. Did আপনি see that train Makenzie was pulling?"

"Yes. That train looks very heavy for her."

"It makes আপনি feel lucky not to pull heavy trains like that in your old age, eh granpuff?"

"Ah, shut up." Scolded Duke, and as soon as his signal turned green, he puffed out of his siding.

Meanwhile, Mr. Percival was talking about the same thing with Sir Robert Norramby.

"I hope you're bringing the supplies to me safely." ব্যক্ত Robert. "I am indeed." Replied Mr. Percival, "But I am concerned about the engine pulling the train."

"Whatever for?" Wondered Robert.

"It's Makenzie. She's not good at pulling heavy trains, and I'm afraid she'll get stuck on the পাহাড় to your castle."

"Not a problem. I'll have Millie help her get up."

Night came, and with it was a full moon. Makenzie soon started to go up the পাহাড় to Ulfstead Castle. However, Millie broke down, and wasn't able to help her get up. Makenzie's wheels started to slip as she went up the hill, and her driver said, "It's a long way up. Can আপনি do it?"

Makenzie told her driver, "For Mr. Percival, I think I can."

She continued to say I think I can as her wheels slipped going up the hill. They got closer to the top, and her wheels spun faster. Her speed decreased, and so did her saying, "I think I can." Once she got to the top, her wheels stopped slipping as she put in a lot of effort pulling the rest of her train up the hill. "I thought I could, I thought I could." Makenzie puffed to herself, "Woohoo!" Then, she stopped at the platform, and the workers unloaded her train, while the visitors got off.

"Well done Makenzie." ব্যক্ত Sir Robert Norramby, "I'm pleased that আপনি got the visitors, and supplies here on time. Now, I have another job for you."

Makenzie was exhausted, but she couldn't refuse the job, "What is it?"

"Take Millie to the steamworks. Unfortunately she broke down."

The End.

Emily wasn't able to sleep well last night. She woke up the পরবর্তি morning still feeling groggy and restless. Alexandria, Madison, and Connor noticed this and immediately realized that something was wrong. Alexandria asked her, "What's the matter, sis?" Still yawning, Emily replied, "Oh, Alexandria, I just had the worst dream ever! This Old Man Jenkins was chasing me with his rake, and I had no place to take shelter from him." Madison said, "Gosh, that's awful." "Really awful." Finished Connor. However, Gordon didn't seem to care about Emily's feelings and was still confident that his story was...

Everyone got out of their vans to explore the camping site before setting up the tents. There was a crystal blue lake complete with a শাল্তি tied to the post of the bridge, a hiking trail with evergreen pine trees, and beautiful, snow-capped mountains. "This place is lovely!" Alexandria exclaimed as she took some photos. "It really is." Replied Madison. Gordon was so awed দ্বারা the stunning color of the lake that he asked Madison's aunt, "Hey, can we swim there now? Can we? Can we?" Madison's aunt replied, "Woah, take it easy, dear! We still have to pitch the tents and set up the barbecue grill....
