Once upon a time, there was a little steam train. It was different from the other trains. It was small and slow, but it tried very hard to be like the big trains. One day, the little steam train wanted to go far away. It wanted to show everyone that it could be just as good as the big trains.
The little steam train went on a long trip. It went up hills and down hills. It went over bridges and through tunnels. The little steam train was very happy. It felt like it was doing a great job. But then, it started to get tired. The little steam train had never gone so far before.
The little steam train wanted to keep going, but it was too tired. It tried and tried, but it could not go any more. The little steam train was very sad. It knew that it was different, but it wanted to be like the big trains. In the end, the little steam train had to stop. It could not go on, and it felt very bad.
