A train is rolling

through the countryside,

a train with a lot of carriages,

and carriages with many

compartments…

In the first compartment sits a cow,

who watches me draw curtains.

In the second, there’s an old dog sleeping.

Don’t wake him up!

In the third, a noisy goat is climbing around.

What a silly billy.

Hey! Don’t let that train leave. Can’t you see the little polar bear at the window?!Where are you going, little polar bear?

He must have sneaked aboard by himself. Let’s go back to the picture before.

That’s better. «Now stay where you are, little polar bear!»

You, Artist, make it evening, so I can see through lit up windows.

Now there really IS another pig!“Hey, yoo-hoo! YOO-HOO, who are you?”Rats! He can’t hear me.

Quick, I’ll wave to him with my stripy shirt.

Ha! Finally, he is looking at me.Now I’ll write my nameon the glass.

Oh-oink! My shirt is gone!

Has somebody stolen it?

Let’s go back a few pages, fast!

Back to where?

Well, back to before

I take the shirt off …

What?I should have keep the shirt on?

But, if I hadn’t taken it offand waved it, Jonathan wouldn’t

have seen me.

So let’s forget about the shirt.Rats!

Sometimes, going back a pagedoesn’t help.

No-o-ink, I don’t want a new shirt, it wouldn’t be the same...
