Do your kids like trains ? Do you take them to see trains ? Do you take them to ride on trains ? Is the train part of your daily routine ? How about train play-sets ? Wooden trains on rails ? Do you build with them complex train set constructions filled with little house and people ? Do the kids spoil your train set constructions ? Do you prefer old western trains, or vapor ? You prefer the modern electric or diesel trains ? Tell me your story, here is mine...
My name is Ban Daid. I am a train. Everyday is an adventure for me, I never know to where my next trip is going to take me. It all depends on the kids that drive me each day. I like kids, they always come to my tracks and drive me around.
One day a Little Girl came with her daddy. They sat on a chair next to my tracks. The Little Girl was sad and tired. I think the Little Girl was sick. The Little Girl looked at me. I smiled back at the Little Girl. The Little Girl did not smile back, she just moved her head and fell on her daddy's chest.
The nurse called the Little Girl's name, and her daddy took her to see the doctor.
Time passed and they came back.
The Little Girl was no longer on daddy's lap. She looked at me. I smiled back at the Little Girl and she approached. She pick me up and started driving me along the wooden tracks.
"Chuchu", said the Little Girl as she pushed me up the bridge to the train station. Time to pick up more passengers. And other kids joined operating the cranes to put the mail in the train. Other closed the gates for the cars to not go through the tracks while the train passed.
All the kids were now happy.
I am Ban Daid. I am the wooden train that makes sick kids healthy and happy.

"Papi, the tummy is hurting.", said the Little Girl.
"Did you eat chocolate or sodas ?", asked Papi.
"No!".
"Good, you know that chocolate and sodas make you sick, you can't eat them", said Papi.
"Yes Papi!", answered the Little Girl.
"I am going to fetch a thermometer, to see if you have fever, OK?", said Papi.
"OK!".
Papi fetched the thermometer, he checked the temperature of the Little Girl.
"Seams you are OK. Let's just rest a bit here with Papi".
"But the tummy is hurting a lot.", said the Little Girl.
"Let's go to the doctor."
"NO!", shouted the Little Girl, "the doctor gives me an injection, I don't like!".
"But that injection makes you feel better", assured Papi.
"No! I don't want to!", insisted the Little Girl.
"Let's wait a bit and see if you feel better, here take this special drink Papi made, it has some vitamins, you will be stronger."
"OK Papi.", agreed the Little Girl.
When Papi left the room the Little Girl sipped on the vitamin drink. Suddenly she saw two figures behind the sofa. They where her puppets, Fuchs the Fox and nurse Minnie.
"Hello Little Girl, your daddy told me you are sick, I come here to make you better", said nurse Minnie.
"No, you are a bad nurse, you are going to hurt Little Girl, I don't allow you to come close!", said Fuchs the fox.
"Yes, I come to make the Little Girl better, I have a special injection that kills the sick bugs.", said nurse Minnie.
"What are the sick bugs ?", asked Fuchs the fox.
"Are small little bugs that you can't see and get into children to make them sick !", answered nurse Minnie.
"Oh! No! we don't want sick bugs, how do you make them go away ?", asked Fuchs the fox.
"Look here, you see Peter the spider there ? Look what it does when the injection comes close...", said nurse Minnie.
"It is running away in all the 8 legs!", laughed Fuchs the fox.
"Yes! The bugs also ran away from the injection!", said nurse Minnie.
"OK, I am the protector of bad dreams for the Little Girl, you are not a bad dream, you can com and help the Little Girl!", said Fuchs the fox.
Nurse Minnie gave the injection to the Little Girl. At first the Little Girl was feeling bad, but as she listened to Fuchs the fox singing all her favorite songs, she started to get better.
"Hello Little Girl, do you feel better, did the injection make you better sending away the little sick bugs ?", asked Papi.
"Yes Papi, I am better now, I like nurse Minnie".
