Once upon a time, in a small small state, there was a beat up old train engine called Little Joe.
Little Joe was rusty, missing parts of his facilities and from another time, but the small community loved him.
Little Joe made noises, but he chugged chugged along at his own speed. People giggled, but they loved Old Joe.
Then one day, a man who was supposed to be very smart came to town. Oh my, the man was smooth and real clean. He was the new engineer. Little Joe purred with glee that finally someone, especially the new engineer, picked him to drive!!! Joe huffed and puffed and churned the rails in new towns! He was so, so happy!! Although Little Joe didn't know much about what the engineer was doing, he chugged chugged and chugged along. He never disappointed the new engineer!! Toot Toot!!!
In time, the new engineer left town. Little Joe was parked. He was sad. Sad sad sad.
Some people didn't like the new engineer and engine so they yearned for a change. Although the new engine was sleeker and the engineer much smarter, the mean people threw things at the new engineer and said bad things about the engineer!!
So, they wanted their beloved Little Joe back. But, Little Joe was rustier, missing more parts and forgot many things!!
The people didn't care. They wanted Little Joe.
But Joe didn't chug chug along! The people didn't want to understand, so they decided to pick a new engineer!! Yayyyy!!
A woman from another town, who didn't even know how to spell train, was picked by people to be the engineer!! Little Joe was happy!! A lady engineer!! Little Joe doesn't believe the engineer will sell him for scrap! Too bad Joe, too bad.
The End
