Zishan, Julie and their parents Mr and Mrs Arif Khan got into a 1st class compartment at Kamalapur Railway Station. It was the Dewanganj-bound Tista Express. Zishan saw that the departure time on the big time table station was 7:30 am, but the train left at 8 o'clock. However, the train was running quite fast. The children sat by the window beside their parents. The compartment was half empty.
Yesterday Julie had downloaded a beautiful poem on a train journey by Robert Louis Stevenson, and printed out a copy of the poem. She took a printout of the poem. Now while looking out of the windows, she found similarities between the poem and real scenery. She took out the poem and began to read.
