Until yesterday, I did not like the trolley system in my town. I thought the trolley cars were too slow and cost too much money.
I couldn't imagine why anyone would want to ride the trolley. Yesterday, I locked my keys inside my car. I wasn't able to call for help because I forgot my cell phone. I did not know what to do, and I started to panic. "Can I give you a ride?" a kind voice called out over the sound of the noisy traffic. The voice belonged to the driver of a trolley car. His friendly attitude helped me calm down and enjoy the trip. By the time my ride was over, I was actually laughing! The next time I need a ride, I will head straight for the nearest trolley stop.

Rip Van Winkle is popular with the children of the village
at the beginning of the story because he plays with them in an almost peer-like
fashion. Rip Van Winkle, indeed, teaches
the children to fly kites and shoot marbles in addition to making toys for them and
telling them stories.
