Then the train asked another engine, and another, only to hear excuses and be refused. Hopelessly, the train asked the little engine to draw it up the grade (坡道) and down on the other side. “I think I can，”puffed (喘气) the little engine, and put itself in front of the great heavy train. As it went on, the little engine kept bravely puffing faster and faster, “I think I can. I think I can. I think I can.” As it neared the top of the grade, which had discouraged the larger engines, it went more slowly. However, it still kept saying, “I — think — I — can. I — think — I — can.” And actually it could. Because of its hard work and determination, the little engine achieved what much bigger engines could not. The engines heart was filled with the joy of achievement. “I thought I could. I thought I could，” it said. This is a very famous story. Dont you love the brave little engine?
