On Halloween night, Luca opened the front door. A magical train puffed beside the house, its pumpkin headlamp flashing. “All aboard!” it whistled.
Luca grabbed the rail and climbed aboard. Orange sparks popped beneath the wheels as the train rolled into the night.
The train entered a mysterious pumpkin forest. Giant pumpkins wobbled across the tracks, and Luca leaned out to push one aside.
The pumpkin rolled back with a silly BONK! Luca laughed as the train slowed, its wheels squeaking on the rails.
A friendly dinosaur stepped between the pumpkins and pointed to a fallen branch. Luca and the dinosaur tugged together. “Heave, ho!”
SNAP! The branch broke free, and the train chugged onward. Ahead, magical cars flashed purple lights and beeped a speedy rhythm.
Luca waved and raced the magical cars toward the glowing destination. The Halloween moon slid lower behind the treetops.
The train sputtered at a steep hill. Luca jumped down with the dinosaur and pushed. “Go, train, go!”
The wheels caught. The train burst through the hill in a shower of golden pumpkin sparks!
The train reached its glowing destination before moonset. Its windows shone like tiny stars, while Luca waved goodbye to the dinosaur and magical cars.
