carriages and many strong wheels. Whenever Chhuk-Chhuk moved, the

headlight shone brightly and the bell rang loudly.

All the children passing by saw it in the shop window. They would stop to look

at it and scream, ‘What a beautiful toy train!’ Look, how quickly it moves on
the railway tracks!’ When Chhuk-Chhuk heard these words of praise, it became
very proud.
