"La pequeña locomotora que sí pudo" (the Spanish version of "The Little Engine That Could") tells the story of a cheerful little blue engine tasked with pulling a heavy train over a mountain. When larger engines refuse to help, the little engine bravely volunteers despite her size. Throughout her journey, she chants the motivational phrase, “¡Yo puedo!” (I can!), which helps her overcome obstacles and fatigue. With determination and perseverance, she successfully makes it over the mountain, delivering toys and goodies to children on the other side. The story celebrates the power of optimism and believing in oneself. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
