Story by Laura , for Helen

When Ann's mother said they were going ona vacation, she was very excited. Kristen always wanted to leave the apartment just for a little while.

"We will be going to moutains and we will go by train." her mom said.

Kristen was even more excited when she heard the word, "train". She been on a train before, a trip to her grandmother's house. Now she's going to moutains, how exciting!

Kristen packed:

toothbrush and toothpaste

2 pairs of clothes

2 sweathers

boots

raincoat

hiking stuff and some other mountain top and stuff to do on the train.

"Kristen! we're leaving!" her mother called from her car.
Kristen rushed out of the house and into the car.
"Are we going to the train station?" Kristen asked.
"Yep."
"What will happen to our car?"
"They will keep it for us."

Kristen looked out the window. She knew they were at the train station now because of the choo choo sound she heard. Kristen got out of the car and took her things out.

"Uh. Kristen. The man will put these in our room on train for us."
"Ok."

Kristen drop her things down and followed her mother. She saw a man that looked like a police man. The policeman took hers and her mother's things and put them on the train.

"See, the lugguge man puts the out lugguge on the train." Kristen followed her mother to get a ticket. The two went over to the train and show the conductor their tickets. Kristen got on the train.
"Kristen, follow the man." her mother said.
"This would be your room," he said.

Kristen looked inside. It had two beds, a sink, a bookshelf, and a dresser, and a window. Kristen went inside and ly down on the bed next to the window.

"This would be my bed." she said. When looked on the floor, she saw lugguge.
"There's our lugguge." she said.
"I know. Now come with me to the dining car. Kristen followed her mother to the dining car. "This table is fine." her mother said.
In a few minutes, a waitress was at the table. "What's your order?" the waitress asked.
"I'll have a cheesebuger with fries." Kristen ordered.
"I'll have the steak surprise." the mother ordered.

After dinner, the two went back to their room and got ready for bed. Kristen laid down on her bed. She watched the train move for a while first. She saw trees, blossoms, animals, and the smoke that came from the train. Kristen went to sleep when she heard a bell.

The next day, Kristen woke up. She got dress. And ate breakfast with her mother in the car. She had eggs and bacon for breakfast.

"Kristen, we'll have to get out of the train in a few minutes.
"Why? I don't wanna."
"We have to. Don't you want to go to the moutains?"
"Alright, we'll get out."
"So let's go back to our room and pack, okay?"

Kristen nodded. So the two got pack and when the bell rang, they were out of the train.

"Goodbye train," Kristen said when she saw the train leaving.

Now Kristen was in the mountains safe and sound. And she will go on train again soon.
