In a small town in the UK, there was a mysterious railway station. This railway station looked ordinary, but it harbored a huge secret. Every early morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone on the platform, a train known as the "Friendship Train" would quietly stop there.
The body of this train was a bright blue, and the carriages were painted with all kinds of patterns representing friendship, such as little people holding hands and heart - to - heart signs. The locomotive emitted white steam, as if telling people about the wonderful journey it was about to start.
On this day, a little boy named Tom came to this railway station. Tom was a rather shy child. He didn't have many friends and always played alone. He looked at this train curiously, his heart full of doubts.
Just as Tom was hesitating whether to get on the train or not, a little girl in a floral dress ran towards him from behind. The little girl was named Lily. She had a head of golden curly hair and a pair of big blue eyes. Lily said to Tom enthusiastically, "Hello, this train is very interesting. Let's go up and have a look together!" Tom was a little nervous, but he still nodded.
They boarded the train together and found that the carriages were full of all kinds of people. There were old people, young people, and children like them. Everyone had a smile on their face and greeted each other.
The train started slowly, and the scenery outside the window began to change constantly. Green fields, thick forests, and clear brooks passed by one by one. During the journey, everyone began to share their own stories. An old grandpa told about his adventures when he was young, and a young man shared the interesting things about his work in the city. Tom and Lily also gradually relaxed and began to chat with the people around them.
As time went by, Tom found that he was no longer shy. He became good friends with Lily and the other passengers. They laughed together and sang together, and the train was filled with a happy atmosphere.
When the sun gradually set in the west, the Friendship Train completed its journey. Everyone was reluctant to get off the train, but they knew that this journey had allowed them to gain precious friendships. Tom and Lily said goodbye to each other and promised to take this magical Friendship Train together again next time.
Since then, Tom has become more outgoing. He and Lily often play together. They also gather the friends they met on the Friendship Train and have spent a lot of wonderful time together. And that Friendship Train still stops at that small station every morning, waiting for new passengers to get on and turn more strangers into friends.
