On The Glen by the Chapel, there is a little five year old Steam Engine that I know. His name is Paulie he is not afraid, because he has no fear at all. Now Paulie is a Steam Engine, whose firebox works a little differently than most Steam Engines. He processes his coal in a different way than most do. He can not always feel when the water level is getting to be too low or his firebox has too much fire, but he still Manages to do what jobs have been given to him though the day. When the sun goes down you can find Paulie at the wash down getting his Nightly scrub down by his driver He is always full of love and has a smile on his little boiling face. Paulie sometimes has trouble talking with some of the other Engines that he works with in The Glen by the Chapel. His best friend, Jennifer is the Engine that pulls the Express. She is a steam Engine as well. She is always on time, and Jennifer always helps Paulie when He runs into any Trouble when she has the time.
The next day Paulie was pulling his two coaches named Angel and Tyler, who were full of children going to school. Now Angel and Tyler are really fussy with each other, but they will tolerate each other when they work together. Now on this Particular day, they were both misbehaving so badly with each other. Paulie had to take Tyler back to the where the coaches were stored, after dropping the Children off at school. The children complained about Tyler’s misbehavior. Paulie for the rest of the afternoon had a Brand new coach to pick up for Sir Mike. He had just acquired new built coach. His name was Wally. Wally was a joy to work with! He did what ever Paulie asked him to do. By the end of the day Paulie only wanted to work with Wally and Angle when pulling the Children or any other passengers. Wally and Tyler hardly ever argued or misbehaved.
Later, when shunting some cars for Sir Mike, Paulie was shunting one particular car whose name was Elizabeth. OH boy! Did she have a one tract mind, her own. What ever direction Paulie wanted her to go. Elizabeth always would go in the opposite direction. Finally Paulie got upset. He told Elizabeth, if she did not stop her misbehaving, and do as he had asked, then he would tell Sir Mike about her unruly misbehavior. Well she kept up with her misbehavior, So, Paulie had his driver tell Sir Mike about it.. Sir Mike was not happy with her. Sir Mike then told Elizabeth, that she would only be hauling flour in her car for next few weeks, until she could learn to behave better.

Sir Mike was very proud of Paulie for he had finally learned how to feel when his water level was getting to high or too low. Now this had been a Problem for Paulie the Tank Engine but he has Finally Mastered this Art and continues to look ahead with his funnel held high. If you Listen Real closely at night when you are in bed trying to sleep you might even be able to hear him puffing " I think I can I think I can and then it may suddenly change to "I knew I could I knew I could."
