THE RAILWAY CHILDREN

It has been a while since i had read this novel. the first time i read this novel was when i was in form 3. it is because this novel is included in our syllabus. this novel is about 3 young children are trying their best to save a train from danger.



this novel had been published for the first time in 1906. the author of this novel ( edith nesbit ) has successfully wrote a kind of masterpiece, in 1970 there is movie that has been created based on this novel under the same name. apparently, this story has been accepted world widely.

one lesson i learned from this material is in some circumstances even the children can be the savior. based on the novel, the 3 children managed to save a train from a danger situation. the train will eventually collide with landslide and it will become such  a tragic accident if those children did not help them. in my opinion they are so brave since they put their own life in line when they are standing on the railway track to stop the train. one of them waved a red flag made from a petticoat as a signal for train driver to stop the train. 


i am really amazed and excited when they eventually success in their mission to save the train. because of their bravery, they manage to save a lot of people. after that they are awarded with medal for their braveness. 

our life is like a cycle. when we do a good thing, we will a get a good thing. but, when we do a bad thing to other people, other people will do a bad thing to us.
