PLOT / EVENT / INCIDENT I have read The Railway Children by Edith Nesbitt. I will describe an interesting event in the story. The interesting event in the story is when the three children saved the train. One day the children were walking beside the railway line when they saw a landslide. They wanted to inform the station but it was too late. They wanted something red as red meant danger. The girls then, took off their petticoats, cut them into six pieces and put them onto sticks so that they had 6 red flags. When they heard the train coming, they started waving the flags but the train did not slow down. Bobbie then ran onto the railway line and started waving her two flags. Finally, the train stopped twenty metres from Bobbie. The children had saved the train. For their bravery or courage, the children were given a beautiful gold watch each.

This event is interesting because it is full of suspense. It shows the childrens bravery, determination and cooperation in saving the train. Luckily, the train stopped on time. Besides, it is also interesting because the children were young but they were smart, thoughtful and resourceful. Their quick action helped the train from a terrible accident. It is interesting to see how young children can be as responsible as adults. In my opinion, these are the reasons why the event is interesting in the story. Introduction
