Once upon a time, there was a train named Chug. Chug was a very special train because he had his own engine, wheels, and an engineer named Bob. Bob loved Chug and took very good care of him.

One day, Bob and Chug were on their way to the station. Chug's engine was purring like a kitten, and his wheels were moving smoothly. But then, something strange happened. Chug started to make a funny noise, and his wheels wouldn't move as easily.

Bob knew something was wrong, so he stopped the train at the next station. He looked under the hood and saw that Chug was low on oil. Without oil, Chug's engine wouldn't be able to move his wheels.

Bob quickly went to the store and bought some oil. He poured it into Chug's engine, and just like magic, Chug was back to his old self. His engine was purring, and his wheels were moving smoothly again.

Bob and Chug continued on their way to the station. When they arrived, all the children were so happy to see Chug. They loved to watch him move and listen to the sound of his engine.

From that day on, Bob made sure to check Chug's oil level every day so that he would never have to stop again. And Chug was happy because he loved to take the children on adventures and make them smile.

The end.
