Once upon a time, in a land far away, there was a new train station. All the vehicles were excited to see their new home and couldn't wait to explore.
The train arrived first and said, "I'm the king of the tracks and I'll be the first to open the station." But just as he was about to open the doors, the motorbike zoomed by and said, "Not so fast! I'm faster than you, let me do it!"
The lorry, ship, car, plane, helicopter, bus and bike all joined in and wanted to be the one to open the station. They all started arguing and fighting over who would get to do it.
Just then, a little mouse appeared and said, "Excuse me, but why don't we all work together to open and close the station? That way, everyone will have a turn."
The vehicles were shocked by this wise suggestion and decided to give it a try. And so, they all worked together to open and close the station every day, and they lived happily ever after.
The end.
