The Orient Express wasn't just a train; it was a magical conductor of dreams. It didn't carry passengers with tickets, but instead carried tiny dreams tucked safely inside little compartments.
Each night, as the sun dipped below the horizon, the Orient Express would set off on its journey to Dreamland. Little Clara, a small, fluffy cloud, was one of the special dream-carriers. She loved her job, but tonight, she was a little worried.
Clara had been chosen to carry a special dream—a dream of fluffy white kittens playing in a field of sparkling flowers. The compartment she had was small, but Clara noticed she had a beautiful, soft blanket to hold during the trip.
The train rumbled and chugged, gently swaying back and forth. Little Clara felt a soft warmth from the engine and watched the world rush by. The train was like a gentle rocking chair, so calming and comfortable.
She saw sleepy towns drift past. She saw twinkling stars appear as the night sky unfolded above. Clara chatted quietly to her fellow dream-carriers, and they giggled and dreamt together. But, the thought of delivering the fluffy kitten dream made her tummy flutter a little.
The train slowed down, and Clara realized the compartment of fluffy white kittens was getting near. All the dream-carriers stopped chatting. They were very quiet and respectful as they held the dreams close. As the Orient Express pulled up to the station, Clara took a deep breath. She was so excited that she almost forgot to smile!
After a moment, Clara gently placed the special dream-compartment on the platform of Dreamland. The dream-compartment was like a tiny package of hope for the kittens. Little Clara felt a warm glow inside as she saw the fluffy kittens appear in the field of sparkling flowers.
As the train continued its journey, Clara thought about how peaceful it was to wait and watch others have their dreams delivered. It was a special and important job, and she felt proud of herself.
Finally, Clara reached the end of her journey. The train slowly slowed and pulled up to the station in the quiet sleepy village. Clara smiled and said thank you to the train. It was a very peaceful and restful night.
Even though she carried dreams all night, she knew tomorrow would bring more dreams, and she looked forward to her next adventure carrying beautiful dreams to little ones. It was a simple but happy job.
