Did you ever stop and wonder how the flying unicorns got their wings? Well, settle down and get comfortable, as our story begins in a magical far-off land...

They spent their days munching on the silver grass and racing along the hedgerows. They would always look longingly at the birds swooping and soaring above them in the crystal blue skies.

One sunny day, a rabbit scampered through the grass to the two unicorns. “Hello Cali, hello Remy! I’ve got to tell you, my little feet are really hurting!

It’s in our nature to replace old things with new things – things that are nicer and more modern. An old Motor Coach learned that the hard way. He couldn’t keep up with the demand of the modern times and was replaced with better, much faster high-speed trains. After long years of loyal service, the Motor Coach ended up in a cold, dark corner of a depot, like a useless old piece of rusty metal. Nowadays, it can only think back to those happy times when it used to take families with kids on their trips up to the mountains. Or could there still be someone who cares about the old train’s fate? You’ll find out in this story.
