Summary : They were rich family and children; Roberta, Peter and Phyllis were happy. However, their life was completely changed from one day. Their father left somewhere, and their mother became busy to earn money by writing books. They moved to country from center of city, but they were really nice children, so they tried to help their mother. One day, Peter tried to steal coal from the station near their house. Then he was caught by Perks, and Roberta and Phyllis were also caught by him. They were sorry to him and explain why they tried to get coal. Perks was really nice man, so he forgave them, then the children and Perks became good friends. Their mother became ill one day, but the children couldn't help her. What could they do for their mother? And who were old gentleman and Jim? The most important thing was... what happened to their father? The answer was told by the children probably...
Personal response : Oh! How nice story it was! It was pretty heart-warming story. The children were so nice, and the people who met them were also nice.The children didn't think about themselves, they were always think about others. That's why people loved them, and helped them a lot. These days there are few kids like them, almost everyone think about only themselves. If many children became like them, the future of this world would be full of love and peace. Anyway, it was truely lovely sweet story.
Rate : 5!

It seems like we all have something to learn from the Railway Children about thinking about other people. I think there is a movie (maybe it's kind of old) of this story which you could watch!
