Notebook 250724 Tentang Keretapi

 Hari ni, as I am doing kerja2 as usual, cerita  'The Little Engine That Could', asyik bermain2 di kepala.

Ini yang saya ingat ..

There was a little train engine that was the slowest train in the station. He was always looked down by other engines, as he was slow, and that made him sad. 

One day, while he was on the rail, he listened to what his wheels was saying. His wheels were saying, "Take Your Time, Take Your Time", repeatedly. Oh, that is why I am slow, he thought. So he continued, as usual. A few days later, he listened to his wheels again. He heard the same thing, that he heard last time, so he continued on his journey, arriving late as usual. The next trip, he told himself that he wanted to really listen to his wheels, to see whether what was he really listening is true. The next trip, he listened carefully. Strange, he thought, there were no words. Silence. He felt better, and started to move faster. After a few moments, he heard a whisper. The words became louder and louder. It was " Hurry Up! Hurry Up! ", and it was repeating over and over again. The train moved faster and arrived early at his destination. From then onwards, all he heard from his wheels were "Hurry Up, Hurry Up", and he was never the slowest train again.
