One bright morning, five-year-old Lisa wakes up under a blue sky wearing her pink dress and feeling excited. In her dream, she walks to a big and busy train station where she sees her train, which is long, strong, and ready to go. Lisa climbs into the front of the train, sits in the seat, and holds the control handle with bravery. She looks ahead at the straight tracks, whispers that she is ready, and starts moving the train slowly as passengers sit inside smiling and reading books.
As the train travels through the city, Lisa sees houses and bridges before going far away into fields and trees. She stops at stations where people get on and get off, waiting carefully and watching the lights. Lisa knows to go on green lights and stop on red lights because safety is important.
At the end of the day, the train comes back home, and Lisa stops the train with a smile. She learns that a train driver helps many people every day. Feeling sleepy, Lisa closes her eyes and peacefully goes to sleep.
