Gather around, chuggers, I have some good news!
The Mayor is holding a special ceremony at the docks tomorrow to launch a brand new cargo ship.
And it’s important that she gets to the ceremony on time. // So, the Mayor has decided which train will pick her up and take her there.
She’s chosen... Koko!
Yes, you, Koko. You’re the fastest trainee. And I told the Mayor you’re a very responsible chugger.
