The Starlight Express
In the quiet town of Pinehill, a young girl named Samantha found an old model train in her attic. She loved trains, so she set it up under her Christmas tree. On Christmas Eve, as the clock struck midnight, something magical happened. The train sparked to life, growing larger and larger until it was big enough for Samantha to board.
Samantha hopped on and the train whisked her away on a starlit journey. She traveled through snowy mountains and past twinkling villages, feeling the cool winter air rush by. The train conductor, a kind old man with a jolly laugh, shared stories of distant lands and enchanted forests.
As dawn neared, the train returned Samantha home, shrinking back to its tiny size. She tucked the train under the tree, knowing she had just had the most wonderful adventure. Samantha realized that the best Christmas gifts aren't always the biggest or the newest, but the ones that bring us joy and wonder.
