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.

You’ll find out in this story.

“What should we do with this useless old train?”
“Just put it in the depot,” said one of the railwaymen, sealing the train’s fate without a speck of gratitude.
