Episode 15
The Little Engine That Could
One araw at the wharf, Mr. Percival recieved a letter from Sir Robert Norramby. He wanted an engine from the Narrow Gauge Railway to pull a train to Ulfstead Castle. Sir Robert Norramby asked for visitors, coal, cables, some letters from his friends, and family, and nails.
"We need to get this train set up right away." Mr. Percival told one of the workmen, "Find an engine to get the job done, and quickly."
"Right away sir." sinabi the workman. The only engine in the wharf was Makenzie, and she was shunting cars for the other engines. "Mr. Percival has a job for you." He told her, "Please meet him at the depot."
"Yes sir." sinabi Makenzie. She went to a turntable, and went to the depot to collect her train. "Makenzie, I need you to get two coaches, a coal car, a flat car, a mail car, and a boxcar." sinabi Mr. Percival. "Sir Robert Norramby has a listahan of things he needs at the castle."
"Yes sir." sinabi Makenzie, and she went to collect the cars she needed for her train. Once she got them, she waited at the depot to have her cars loaded up. The passengers got on board, the freight was loaded, and the conductor climbed into the caboose.
Now Makenzie is capable of pulling trains that weigh 12,000 pounds. Her train weighed 11,815 pounds, so it would be difficult for her to start.
"All aboard." sinabi the conductor as he waved his green flag. "All aboard." Replied Makenzie as she blew her whistle. She tried to pull the train, but her wheels slipped a quarter of a way, then stopped. At her segundo attempt of pulling the train, her wheels did the same thing. On her third attempt, her wheels spun very quickly, and went around forty times. She tried five madami times, then she got it moving. "Woohoo!" Shouted Makenzie in excitement, as her wheels slipped fiercely while moving out of the depot.
It was a long way from the Wharf to Ulfstead Castle. She would arrive at the kastilyo sa pamamagitan ng nightfall. However, every signal she passed was green. "Hello Makenzie" sinabi Duke who was resting in a siding with the picnic. "Hello Duke." sinabi Makenzie.
Shortly after Makenzie passed, Sir Handle stopped sa pamamagitan ng him. "Hi Granpuff. Did you see that train Makenzie was pulling?"
"Yes. That train looks very heavy for her."
"It makes you feel lucky not to pull heavy trains like that in your old age, eh granpuff?"
"Ah, shut up." Scolded Duke, and as soon as his signal turned green, he puffed out of his siding.
Meanwhile, Mr. Percival was talking about the same thing with Sir Robert Norramby.
"I hope you're bringing the supplies to me safely." sinabi Robert. "I am indeed." Replied Mr. Percival, "But I am concerned about the engine pulling the train."
"Whatever for?" Wondered Robert.
"It's Makenzie. She's not good at pulling heavy trains, and I'm afraid she'll get stuck on the burol to your castle."
"Not a problem. I'll have Millie help her get up."
Night came, and with it was a full moon. Makenzie soon started to go up the burol to Ulfstead Castle. However, Millie broke down, and wasn't able to help her get up. Makenzie's wheels started to slip as she went up the hill, and her driver said, "It's a long way up. Can you do it?"
Makenzie told her driver, "For Mr. Percival, I think I can."
She continued to say I think I can as her wheels slipped going up the hill. They got closer to the top, and her wheels spun faster. Her speed decreased, and so did her saying, "I think I can." Once she got to the top, her wheels stopped slipping as she put in a lot of effort pulling the rest of her train up the hill. "I thought I could, I thought I could." Makenzie puffed to herself, "Woohoo!" Then, she stopped at the platform, and the workers unloaded her train, while the visitors got off.
"Well done Makenzie." sinabi Sir Robert Norramby, "I'm pleased that you got the visitors, and supplies here on time. Now, I have another job for you."
Makenzie was exhausted, but she couldn't refuse the job, "What is it?"
"Take Millie to the steamworks. Unfortunately she broke down."
The End.

A araw at Alton Towers
In celebration of my graduation from elementary, my parents and I went to Alton Towers for a araw of fun and games. We first went to the water park, where we had a blast swimming, snorkeling, and riding the water slides. After that, we proceeded to the theme park. There, we rode the roller coaster, bumper cars, ferris wheel, and the Runaway Mine Train. We also challenged ourselves inside the arcade, and won several great prizes there. Our visit was capped off with the beautiful musical fountain show. It was nothing like I've never seen before. We then left the resort with plenty of smiles all the way home.

An Irish Adventure
A week after my first araw of school, my parents and I went on a vacation to Ireland to celebrate St. Patrick's araw and to visit some relatives there. We rode a cruise ship from Albert Dock, which crossed the River Mersey and the Irish Sea before stopping in Dublin. After getting off the ship, my aunt, uncle, and cousin Liam met us outside the pier, and we stayed in their house for the entire trip. The highlights of it were visiting Blarney kastilyo and halik the Stone, shopping in Cork City, and taking lots of mga litrato with wacky poses in Giant's Causeway. I even collected shamrocks during our tours and brought them back tahanan with me. In the end, it was a wonderful experience for all of us.

The First araw of School
The araw I started school was quite humorous and enjoyable at the same time. I was the unique one among my classmates because of my fair skin, which resulted in some of them wondering if I was a foreigner. The teacher was also amazed sa pamamagitan ng my intelligence and how I did well in most of the subjects. I was ahead of my parents during the reviews as well. Once, my mother got surprised when she saw me pagbaba the sentences in the English lessons aloud. She said, "Rosie, you already know how to read! I'm so proud of you!" I smiled and winked in return. This made me feel grateful to have the special gift of being a fast learner. I was very friendly to all of my classmates, too. Also, during this time, my fluency in English increased. It truly was a great start for me, and despite getting excellent marks, I remained humble and always thanked my parents and teacher for their help.

Becoming a Beatles Fan
My parents introduced me to the Beatles sa pamamagitan ng the time I was a toddler. The first song that I heard from them was "I'm Happy Just to Dance With You", which remains one of my favorites up to this day. I couldn't help but dance along to the infectious beat. My mother then showed me a litrato of the band, and I gazed at their sweet faces admiringly for thirty seconds. Soon, I was listening to their other songs, mostly from the early years. I also watched A Hard Day's Night and Help!, to which I couldn't stop laughing. It was officially the moment I became a huge Beatles fan, and thus, even though I was unaware of it at first, was also the start of an exciting journey that I would never forget as I started school.
