________________ PERSEVERANCE The Little Engine That Could A little steam engine had a long train of cars to pull. She went along very well until she came to a steep hill. Then, no matter how hard she tried she could not move the long train of cars. She pulled and she pulled. She puffed and she puffed. She backed up and started again. Choo! Choo! Choo! Choo! Ood However, the cars would not go up the hill. All the animals got off the train. At last, some animals left the train and started up the track alone. Do you think they had stopped trying? No, indeed! They were going for help. "Surely we can find someone to help us,' they thought. Over the hill and up the tracks they went. Soon they saw a big yellow steam engine standing on a sidetrack. He looked very big and strong. Running alongside they looked up and said, "Will you help us over the hill with our train of cars? It is so long and so heavy that our engine can't get it over the hill." The big steam engine looked down at the little animals. Then he said, "Don't you see that I am through my day's work? I have been all rubbed and scoured ready for my next run. No, I cannot help you."
