As the children get to 4 more about their surroundings(环境), they get happiness in simple things. Every morning, they run to a 5 and climb up to the top to wave at the passing trains. "6 do those trains down there go? Can they take Father home?" they wonder.
One day, they notice a(n) 7 old man travelling on the same train. He seems to have nothing special but kind. Looking at him, the children show their 8 by leaving him handmade cards and fresh flowers. What they do 9 into a beautiful friendship later.
However, life on the railway isn't always great. Something 10 happens when a heavy rain makes a landslide(滑坡) to cover the tracks(轨道). They try to move the rocks and wood, but fail. Then Phyllis quickly takes off her 11 skirt and they make several flags to tell the coming train there is great danger.
