Once upon a time, in a small village, there lived a little girl named Sophie. She loved playing with her toys, especially her doll, ball, teddy bear, puzzle and kite. She would spend hours playing with them in her backyard, pretending they were on all sorts of adventures.

One day, when Sophie was playing with her car and scooter, she heard a strange noise coming from the nearby forest. She decided to investigate and found a train that had gotten stuck on the tracks. She knew that the train was a toy too, and she wanted to help it. She quickly went back to her house and grabbed her bike, then pedaled back to the forest as fast as she could.

When she got there, she saw that the train's wheels were stuck in the mud. Sophie knew that she needed to get the train moving again. She remembered the game she had played earlier with her puzzle and thought that she could use the same strategy to help the train. She carefully placed the puzzle pieces on the tracks, making a path for the train to follow. The train slowly started to move forward and soon it was back on its way, chugging along the tracks.

Sophie was so happy that she had been able to help the train and she rode her bike back home with a big smile on her face. From that day on, she knew that her toys were not just for playing, they could also be used to help others in need.
