The Little Engine That Could

The Little Engine That Could | DY Books

Once upon a time, in a land far away, there was a small train station. The station was bustling with activity, and the trains would come and go all day long. But one day, a very important delivery was scheduled to arrive, and the train that was supposed to bring it broke down.

The station master was in a panic. The delivery was urgent, and he didn't know how he was going to get it to its destination. He tried to flag down passing trains, but they were all too busy to help. Just when he was about to give up hope, a small blue engine pulled into the station.

The station master was hesitant at first. The little engine was so small and didn't look like it could handle such an important delivery. But the little engine looked up at him with determination in its eyes and said, "I think I can."

The station master was impressed by the little engine's confidence, and he decided to give it a chance. The little engine was hooked up to the delivery, and it started to pull away from the station.

At first, the little engine was struggling. The delivery was heavy, and the terrain was rough. But the little engine kept repeating to itself, "I think I can, I think I can." And slowly but surely, it started to make progress.

The little engine chugged up hills and through valleys, and it never once gave up. Whenever it started to doubt itself, it would repeat its mantra, "I think I can, I think I can." And with each repetition, it grew stronger and more determined.

Finally, after what seemed like hours of traveling, the little engine pulled into the destination station. The delivery was successfully delivered, and the little engine was hailed as a hero.

The little engine had proved that size didn't matter, and that with determination and a positive attitude, anything was possible. And from that day on, whenever the little engine faced a challenge, it would repeat its mantra, "I think I can, I think I can," and it would always succeed.
