Once upon a time, there was semi-large train loaded with toys for the children on the other side. The engine of this train went out so the train stopped and could not go on further. The children were waiting so the toy train had to ask any trains passing by for help.

A snobby train passed by but refused to help the lowly train of toys. Another falling apart train passed by but it was in too bad of a shape to help this train as well. Still the train full of toys did not stop hoping that someone would come to his rescue.

After a long time, there came a small engine. It was so little that it was hard to believe that it could help tow this large train full of toys. She did not want to see the children go without toys. But, the Little Engine wanted to help so she towed and towed as hard as she could. Slowly, the Little Engine was able to move the train of toys.

Just say "I think I can".
