the little engine that could Bye. Watty Piper Audio Recording by Patrick Dire Chuck Chuck, Chuck The little train ran along the tracks. She was a happy little train. Her cars were full of good things for boys and girls. There were all kinds of toy animals. Giraffes with long necks, teddy bears with no necks and even a baby. Everything. There were all kinds of dolls. Dolls with blue eyes and yellow here, dolls with brown eyes and brown here and the funniest toy climbing you ever saw. There were toy trucks, airplanes and boats. There were picture books, games and drums to play. The little train carried every kind of toy the boys or girls could wind, but that was not all. The little train carried good things to eat, too. Big round ranges, fat red apples, long yellow bananas, fresh cold milk and lovely pops to eat after dinner of Little Train was taking all these good things to the other side of the mountain. How happy the boys and girls will be to see me, said the little train. They will like the toys and good food that I am bringing you, but all of once train came to a stop. It didn't move at all. Oh dear, said the little train. What can be the matter? She tried to start up again. She tried and tried better. Will's just would not turn. We can. How said the toy animals, the clown and the animals climbed out of their cars. They tried to push the little train, but she did not move. We can help, too, said the dolls. And they got out and tried to push. Still, the little train did not move. The toys and dolls did not know what to do. Just in shiny new engine came puffing down along the track. Maybe that engine can help us, cried the clown. He began to waver. Right flag, the shiny new engine slow down the dolls and toys called out to him. Our engine is not working, they said. Please pull our train over them out. If you do not, the boys and girls will not have any toys or good food. The shiny new engine was not friendly. You want me to push you? He asked. That is not what I do. I carry people. They sit in cars with soft seats. They look out the windows. They eat in a nice dining car. They even sleep. And I find sleeping car. I pulled the likes of you. I should say not. Off went the shiny new engine without another word. How sad all the toys and dolls felt. Then the toy clown called out. Here comes another engine at big strong one. Maybe this engine will help us again. The clown wave this flag, The big Strong and Jin came to a stop. The toys and dolls called out together Please help us! Big strong engine. Our train is not working, but you can pull us over the mountain. You must help us or the boys and girls will not have any toys to play with our good food to eat. But the big strong engine did not want to help. I do not pull toys, he said. Apple car is full of heavy logs. I pull big trucks. I have no time for the likes of you and away puffed the big, strong engine without another word. But this time the little train was no longer happy and the dolls and toys were ready to cry. But the clown called out Look, look! Another engine is coming. A little blue engine. A very little one. Maybe this engine will help us. But the little blue engine was a happy of one luncheon. She saw the clown waving his red flag and stopped at once. What is the matter? She asked in a kind of way. Whole little blue engine cried. The dolls and toys. Well, you pull us over the mountain. Our engine is not working. If you do not help this, the boys and girls will have no toys. Air. Good food just over the mountain. Please. Please help us. Oh, my second little blue engine. I'm not very big and not Do not pull trains. I just work in the yards. I've never been over the mountain. But we must get there before the Children wake up. Said the toys and dolls, please. The little blue engine looked at the dolls and toys. She could see that they were not happy. She thought about the Children on the other side of the mountain without toys, air, good food. They would not be happy either. The little blue engine pulled up close. She took hold of the little train. The toys and dolls climb back into their cars. At last, the little blue engine said, I think I can come up the mountain. I think I can. I think I can again. The little blue engine began to pull. She tugged and she pulled. She pulled and she tugged Puff, Puff like the little mention. I think I can, uh, I think I can, she said. Slowly, slowly, the train started to move. The dolls and toys began to smile and clap off off a thin out wait, a little blue engine. And all the time she kept saying, I think I can I think again. I think I can. Uh huh. The little engine climbed and climbed. At last. She reached the top of the mountain. Down lay the city below her. A array cried the dolls and toys. The boys and girls will be so happy, said the toy clown. Oh, because you helped this blue engine. The little blue engine. Just smile. But if she puffed down the mountain, the little blue engine seemed to say, I thought I could. I thought I could. I thought I could
