The Night Train

Alex’s old toys were very unhappy. He had a bunch of superheroes, robots and even a super girl. But they were all gathering dust in the corner of the cupboard, as Alex no longer played with them. The old toys stood forlornly and watched Alex play with his new train. It was the Super Station Toy set. Alex had just received this super big train set on Christmas. It had taken him and his father two days to build the station. “Frankly,” discussed the toys, “watching them build it, didn’t seem worth the effort!” But two days and long hours later, the station had been assembled. “We don’t like it!” had been their consensus. But who could tell that to Alex! So, they all waited for Alex to get bored with it. But Alex loved it very much! One night, they decided, “Let’s break it! Then Alex will play with us.”

That night, as soon as they heard Alex’s soft snores, they crept towards the train station. Just then they heard a loud hoot, “Woot wooooot!” The train was hurtling at a high speed towards them and tooting furiously. Two bright red glowing eyes stared at them furiously from the engine. It was heading straight at them! They jumped aside and fell hard, hurting themselves. Miss Nurse rushed to fix their broken arms, legs, even heads! By the time they all got themselves together, the train was nowhere to be seen and the station seemed perfectly peaceful. It was going to be dawn soon, so they all rushed back to their original places. “How did it happen?” the robot wondered loudly, “I never saw it coming, and then it was almost going to kill us! Let’s try to break it again tonight.”

All the toys nodded their heads. But that night, the same thing happened. They just got saved in the nick of time. They thanked God. It happened again every night. They felt that the engine with red glowing eyes was really going to break them! The red eyes seemed to belong to a monster! “One last time,” said the robot, “And then no more.” That night, the train came at the same speed. But at the very last minute, one of the toys threw a hammer at the red eyes. And out rolled Gigantus Dinosaur! The night train finally came to a rest. All the toys decided not to break it any more.
