Shalom, who had never seen train tracks in his life and had never ever seen a train, chose to walk right between the two iron tracks. After about five minutes, he saw a giant machine bearing down directly upon him.
Toot toot! The train whistled. The conductor waved frantically at shalom as he tried to stop the train. At the last moment Shalom quickly jumped out of the way and the train hurtled by missing him by a hair. So fast was the enormous machine traveling that shalom was knocked down by the rush of air accompanying the speeding train. As he picked himself up all he could see was the enormous black beast fleeing down the track, mocking him with a shrill toot toot.
