The Magic Trainby Zack Barnhart

Once upon a time on a late night, there was a bad storm coming.

There was a little boy named Jack, who had an Arctic fox. The fox’s

name was Nikki. She decided to run away because of the storm.

The next morning, Jack went outside to play with Nikki, but she was gone!

He made some phone calls but had

no luck.

Later that day, he hopped on the train to go search for Nikki.

He asked all the people on the train if they had seen her.

Meanwhile, Nikki is headed towards a fishing town because she smelled

salmon. She ran toward the smell to get the

food. A nice fisherman shared his salmon

with Nikki.

Jack is still on the train. The train crossed the rusty old

bridge. It was creaking really loud.

You could hear the river water rushing and roaring against the rocks like a lion running into the

woods.

The train continued going fast like lighting, trying to get to the next

location. The little boy looked out the window

and saw a bear standing up and roaring.

All at once, the bear met Nikki. She shared the salmon with the bear

and became his friend. They decided to run off into the woods

and play.

Now the train finally gets to its location, so Jack gets off and starts to look for

Nikki again. The little boy asked people if they have seen his Arctic Fox, but he had no luck.

Jack asked one more person, and he said he saw her.

The little boy looked around the area and found Nikki playing with

the bear in the snow. They are having a good time.

Jack runs up to Nikki and gives her a big hug. Then he walked Nikki back to

the train station and they go back home.
