Admired by older trains, Loco still fears adventures and believes it is too small and unsafe. A wise old train reassures it that it is bigger than cows and dogs, while the guard and engine driver will stay with it. On its maiden journey, Loco discovers its own powerful sound and realizes its fear can change into confidence.","The Timid Train  \nAuthor: Bharati Jagannathan Illustrator: Preeti Krishnamurthy  \nEnglish Story Book  \nThe Timid Train  \nAuthor: Bharati Jagannathan Illustrator: Preeti Krishnamurthy Reformatted for Bloom By: Cara Ediger Pratham Books  \nEnglish  \nThe Timid Train  \nAuthor: Bharati Jagannathan  \nIllustrator: Preeti Krishnamurthy  \nCopyright © 2011, Pratham Books  \nYou are free to make commercial use of this work.

What wonderful adventures you will have!”they promised. But Loco did not want any adventures—it was, you see, a frightened little train—not little at all, of course, but it was so scared of everything that it felt tiny!  \nIt didn't want to leave the railway shed. It shrank when the cows in the fields bellowed, but felt comforted by the friendly, older trains around.  \nIt was scared even when a dog ran barking towards it, and wished it could hide somewhere safer! But how was it to hide anywhere, and how could it always stay in the shed?  \nA wise old train who had been all over the country saw how frightened Loco looked, and pointed out that it was much bigger than dogs and cows. But Loco was not sure.“Oh, but they are all so strong and fierce. I don’t want to go anywhere  \nalone,” it said. So the old train said,“But you won’t be alone, dear Loco. The engine driver and the guard will be with you.”  \nLoco knew the guard. He was a pleasant fellow who waved the flag when trains had to leave. Loco saw that he was quite small. It didn't think the guard could protect it from anything. Loco also knew the engine driver Babu and it trusted his kind face.  \nSoon the big day arrived when Loco was rolled out of the yard for its maiden journey. Loco was to go all the way across from Tamil Nadu near the sea to Jammu next to the mountains.  \nBabu, the engine driver pushed some buttons, and twisted some knobs, and off chugged Loco from the station, its heart in its mouth.  \n“Oooo,” it cried in fright but what do you suppose happened? It came out sounding exactly like a sharp train whistle! Some mynahs pecking nearby quickly flew off cackling. And as it thundered on, off flew all the crows and sparrows and other birds perched on wires along the railway track in great fright. Loco was really surprised that anybody could be frightened of it, and laughed.","cbCaitHCBvwXzbiF","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitHCBvwXzbiF","pdf",109491615,17,"English","en",105,"# Story Overview\n## Loco’s Fear of Adventure\n## Reassurance From Older Trains\n## The Maiden Journey and a Surprise Discovery","[{\"question\":\"Why does Loco not want to leave the railway shed?\",\"answer\":\"Loco is frightened by everything around it and believes leaving will bring unsafe adventures.
