In a small village in Russia, there is a lovely little train named Toto. Toto has a bright red body, and from time to time, puffs of white smoke would come out of its chimney. Surrounding this village are beautiful fields and thick forests, and the villagers make a living by farming and collecting products from the forest.
However, the roads in the village are rough and bumpy. It is extremely difficult for the villagers to transport the harvested grains, timber and other supplies to the village warehouses or out of the village for sale. At this time, the hard - working little train Toto comes in very handy.
One early morning, the sun shone on the small railway station. Toto had parked at the station early. Its carriages were clean and tidy. The villagers came to the station with bags of grains and cut timber. The children also ran over to help. They were laughing and playing while handing small parcels to the adults to put into Toto's carriages. Toto looked at the busy figures of everyone, with anticipation in its eyes. It was ready to start the day's work.
Toto blew its whistle, and the "woo - woo" sound echoed in the village. Then, it slowly started and began to run along the railway tracks. On both sides of the tracks were endless fields. The wheat in the fields swayed gently in the breeze, like waves in a golden ocean. Toto ran merrily, and its wheels made a rhythmic "clank - clank" sound on the rails. The smoke coming out of the chimney was like a long white ribbon, floating into the distance.
Suddenly, a small hillside appeared in front of Toto. Without any hesitation, Toto increased its power, and the smoke coming out of its chimney became thicker and more. Its locomotive head lifted up and strived to climb up the hillside. The wheels spun rapidly on the rails, making a "squeak - squeak" sound. Although it was a bit strenuous, Toto kept persevering. It thought in its heart that it must transport the supplies to the destination safely.
After some effort, Toto finally climbed up the hillside and then smoothly drove to the destination - the large warehouse in the village. The villagers had already been waiting there. As soon as Toto stopped, everyone began to unload busily. Toto looked at the happy faces of the villagers and felt very proud of itself. It knew that it had done another very important thing for the village today.
As the sun slowly set in the west, Toto completed a day's work. It quietly parked at the station, waiting for the next task, and the village continued to live happily with the help of the little train Toto.
