The Little Engine from the famous American kid's folk tale 'The little engine that could', exceeded all expectations. The story in short, as you may know, is about a steam locomotive engine that broke down and had to be hauled up a hill along with the carriages. Many engines due to different reasons refused to pull the engine, but a Little Engine agreed to help. The job appeared unreasonable for the Little Engine, but she persevered by saying, 'I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...', ultimately, she could!
Now imagine, a few weeks later, the little engine sat down for an end-of-year discussion with the Station Master who told her, "Little engine, let me tell you that you did well this year. Your effort in pulling that big engine and carriages up the hill was marvellous. You got the job done. Congratulations!"
