Little train

The little train worked at the back of the large station. He drove commodity wagons from place to place and looked enviously at the fast trains that drove passengers to the far region. The little train also really wanted to go far, far away. For example, in the city of Hillery.
And one morning the little train whistled "Tu-tuu!" And he rolled on its own, quickly and quickly gaining speed. Ahead of him was waiting for many new impressions and adventures. He managed to fulfill his dream and visit Hiller, and was also lucky to see what he had never seen before - fields, rivers, bridges, tunnels, horses, village boys and many, many things. Not without incident: a small train accidentally got off the rails and drove into the house of Fru Jensen on all the way, teaching a slight defeat in her kitchen.
In the evening, the train was tired and returned home, to his large station, exactly to the very place where he spat off early in the morning without demand and where there was still a surprised stoker.
The story of one day from the life of a little train was written and illustrated by the Danish artist IB Spang Olsen (1921-2012), recognized classic of children"s literature, laureate of the prestigious international prize named after Hans Christian Andersen. In Russia, Iba Spang Olsen"s books have never been published. Thanks to the "little train", Russian readers will be able to get acquainted with the work of the Danish master for the first time.
