Reading

Oliver loves trains, so his grandad built a model train set for him in the garage. The train set has a small town with tiny houses, a bridge, and a tunnel through a mountain. The train is red and green, and it moves around the tracks when Oliver presses a button. Every Sunday afternoon, Oliver and his grandad add something new to the train set. Last week, they added a small farm with plastic cows and sheep. This week, they are going to build a train station with tiny people waiting on the platform. Oliver's little sister is not allowed to touch the train set because the pieces are very small and easy to break.
