The Little Steam Engine...

A little steam engine had a long train of cars to pull. She went along
very well till she came to a steep hill. But then, no matter how hard
shetried, she could not move the long train of cars. She pulled and
she pulled. She puffed and she puffed. She backed and started off
again. Choo! Choo! But no! The cars would not go up the hill.
At last she left the train and started up the track alone. Do you
think she had stopped working? No, indeed! She was going for help.
"Surely I can find someone to help me," she thought. Over the hill and
up the track went the little steam engine. Choo, choo, choo! Pretty
soon she saw a big steam engine standing on a side track. He looked
very big and strong. Running alongside, she looked up and said: "Will
you help me over the hill with my train of cars? It is so long and
heavy I can't get it over."
The big steam engine looked down at the little steam engine. Then he
said: "Don't you see that I am through my day's work? I have been
rubbed and scoured ready for my next run. No, I cannot help you." The
little steam engine was sorry, but she went on. Choo, choo, choo! Soon
she came to a second big steam engine standing on a side track. He was
puffing and puffing, as if he were tired. "That big steam engine may
help me," thought the little steam engine. She ran alongside and
asked: "Will you help me bring my train of cars over the hill? It is
so long and so heavy that I can't get it over." The second big steam
engine answered: "I have just come in from a long, long run. Don't you
see how tired I am? Can't you get some other engine to help you this
time?" "I'll try," said the little steam engine, and off she went.
Choo, choo, choo!
After a while she came to a little steam engine just like herself. She
ran alongside and said: "Will you help me over the hill with my train
of cars? It is so long and so heavy that I can't get it over." "Yes,
indeed!" said this little steam engine. "I'll be glad to help you, if
I can." So the little steam engines started back to where the train of
cars had been standing.
Both little steam engines went to the head of the train, one behind
the other. Puff, puff! Chug, choo! Off they started! Slowly the cars
began to move. Slowly they climbed the steep hill. As they climbed,
each little steam engine began to sing: "I-think-I-can! I-think-Ican!
I-think-I-can! I-think-I-can!..." And they did! Very soon they were
over the hill and going down the other side. Now they were on the
plain again; and the little steam engine could pull her train herself.
So she thanked the little engine who had come to help her, and said
goodbye. And she went merrily on her way, singing: "I-thought-I-could!
I-thought-I-could! I-thought-I-could!"

there are so many tasks in this world we can never do on our
own...time and again we require help from somebody special...but this
special has to be someone who is like you... for he who is not like
you, would never know what you're going through...
