The Wrong Train

Elena is late leaving her weekend job and needs to go home. She takes train number 4, but train number 4 goes to a different place. She realises after 20 minutes that she is on the wrong train. Elena is not scared. She just sits and enjoys the view from the window, watching the houses and fields pass by. She finally gets off at a small town. She sees a pretty park with many flowers and decides to go for a walk. She walks for 30 minutes. Then she takes the right train home. She is two hours late. Her mother is worried. But Elena has a new story to tell.
