Maya's Big Train Journey

Once upon a time, there was a little Indian girl named Maya. She lived in Australia with her family, but she missed her relatives in India. One day, Maya had a big idea. She wanted to take a train to India and meet all the interesting kids, people, and animals along the way.

As the train chugged along, Maya saw elephants outside her window. They had long trunks and big floppy ears. Maya waved at them, and they waved back with their trunks.

When the train stopped at a village, Maya saw cows wandering around. They had big, gentle eyes and were munching on grass. Maya petted them and they mooed happily.
