On a bright and happy land, there was a little blue train called Thomas. He was small but he had big dreams! One day, all the trains were asked to do the most important task of the year: to carry toys to the top of a huge mountain to kids who lived there.
“It’s not far away, but it is too hard. We won’t do it.” said all the bigger trains. They refused to help. But Thomas thought differently. He wanted to help and believed in himself. Then he said, “I can do it.” The big trains laughed at the little one, but finally Thomas was chosen for the job.
