    There was a little red engine named James. He was always cheerful and ready for any challenge. He lived in a large train station with other engines. His shiny red coat gleamed in the sunlight, his whistle was always loud and clear, and his wheels were always ready to carry him on his adventures.

    One day, the station master, a tall man with a stern face and a black uniform, announced a race. The engine that could reach the top of the steep hill the fastest would be declared the strongest engine. James was excited. He had always wanted to prove his strength.
