Once there was a train named Puffa.  He was a very good
     train.  "What a train!" people said.  They bought tickets
     to ride on Puffa.  Puffa could talk to other trains.
     He lived a happy life.

     One night when he was talking about train life with the
     other trains, the guard heard them.  When he checked the
     trains he saw and heard nothing. "Something is fishy 
     around here", he muttered.  Puffa and the other trains
     tried to talk very quietly.  But then they couldn't hear
     each other. Anyway, the guard always heard them.  It was
     no use.

     When the people of the town heard what the guard had
     to say, they became frightened of Puffa. "The train
     is enchanted!",they screamed. "Run for your life!"

     All this made Puffa feel sad.  The trains talked about
     it when the guard was asleep. "Let's run away", came the
     first bright idea. "Okay", agreed the other trains. "But
     the big question is how do we get out when we're in chains?"
     "Right", said Puffa. They had forgotten the chains.

     "Let's tug until the chains break", said Puffa hopefully.
     "We'll try anything!" said the trains. So they tugged and
     they tugged until finally they broke loose.

     "Now what?" asked the trains. "Now choo-choo away!" said 
     Puffa excitedly. So they were out of town in a second.
     "Hurray!" cried Puffa.  His plan had worked. "It's
     starting to snow!" cried the trains fearfully. "Uh-oh",
     said Puffa.  "We have to press on quickly."

     But when they tried to press on, their wheels got stuck 
     in the snow! "Oh-no!" cried Puffa. "We're stuck in town
     forever!"

     "Please think, Puffa!" cried the other trains. "I am
     thinking", said Puffa in a faraway voice. "If we had
     legs, we could walk", muttered one of the trains.

     "I know!" cried Puffa. "We need to jump really hard!"
     "We'll try it!" said the trains. So they jumped really
     hard. "It worked!" cried one of the trains. "Now
     choo-choo really fast", said Puffa.

     So the trains went on with their journey.  Soon they came
     to a forest. "Let us stop and rest", said Puffa.

     After a while, Puffa said "It's time to go on." "We're
     very rested", chorused the trains. "So am I", said
     Puffa. "This is a nice place", said the trains.
     "Let's live here", said Puffa. "Okay", said the other
     trains. "Our journey has ended! said Puffa. "Hurray!"
     cried the other trains.

     So they lived happily ever after.
