What is The Little Engine That Could An Abridged Edition about?

A train loaded with toys and treats is stranded at the foot of a steep mountain, and the larger engines refuse to help. Just when the passengers begin to lose hope, a little blue engine arrives. Though she is small, she believes she can pull the heavy train over the hill. Chugging steadily onwards, she repeats her encouraging message and proves that determination, courage and a positive attitude can help overcome a very big challenge.
