The Book That Took the Mountain Train

Grammar in this story

3 concepts

The mountain-line bookshop is only two minutes from the station.

The owner hears the trains every day and knows which one is about to arrive.

One day, a student returns a book and says this book has been farther from home than he has.

It turns out he forgot the book on the train, and it rode all the way to the other side of the mountain.

After the station worker found it, they first put the book in the lost-and-found cabinet.

Later, another passenger saw the bookmark and knew the bookshop was not far from this station.

She got off the train, brought the book back, and tucked a mountain-view postcard into the back cover.

The student is embarrassed because he has never been this close to that mountain before.

The owner smiles and says the book left for one day and unexpectedly brought the shop a new friend.
