The little red engine chugged along. Chugga-chugga-chug! It had a very important job.

Then, whoosh! Big white flakes began to fall. The snow piled up, up, up!

Soon, the tracks were covered. The engine tried to push. Puff-puff-puff! But it could not move.

Oh no! said the little red engine. My special toys! It puffed out lots of warm, white steam. WHOOSH!

The warm steam melted the snow! Sizzle-fizzle-sizzle! The little red engine chugged right through, chugga-chugga-chug! All the children were very happy with their new toys.
Even big problems can be solved with a clever idea and a bit of effort.
What stopped the little red engine from delivering the toys?
