Excerpt
'Now that was rude, leaving me in the middle of the car park.' Said Mr Trolley
Mr. Trolley stood still for awhile wondering what to do; he looked about for a car guard to take him back to the trolley park. There was not one in sight.
A car whizzed past him sending all his metal bars shuddering. 'Oh no, I cannot stay standing here, I will get damaged.'
Mr. Trolley concentrated hard - he had to move or be run over, or worse he might get stolen. He squeezed his brain until he made the wheels move. 'Yes, I can do it!'
Mr. Trolley slowly edged forward; the more he concentrated, the quicker he began to move. He moved along smoothly until he reached the curb and rested 'Shoo! That was a hard effort.' Mr. Trolley heaved quite out of breath.
'I wonder if I can go further, maybe I can see what is beyond the car park?' Mr. Trolley shivered with excitement. He concentrated again super hard and again slowly his wheels started turning. He looked left and right and left again - all clear - Mr. Trolley rolled his way through the cars and then onto the sidewalk.
'Hmmm, which way should I go?' Mr. Trolley looked to his left and then to the other side. The path to his left was much smoother, he turned his wheels and away he went down the path. He was so fascinated with all that he was able to see, different trees, buildings, people and so many cars, motorbikes and buses. It was all so very busy he felt scared.
A dog barked at him, and he got a fright and stopped moving until the dog had gone passed him. It was easier now to get his wheels turning, and so quickly he continued down the path.
'What is this?' Mr. Trolley said to himself. He was looking at a tree that had the most beautiful colour purple, unlike any other trees he knew.
'What tree are you?' Mr. Trolley asked the tree not ever expecting the tree to answer him.
'I am a Jacaranda tree, do you think I am pretty?'
Mr. Trolley jumped on his wheels 'You answered me! I think you are the most beautiful tree in the world.'
'Thank you kindly. God has indeed blessed me. ' The tree bellowed proudly in his very deep voice.
Mr. Trolley was thrilled that the tree was able to understand him he was almost skipping when he said goodbye to the tree and strolled on his way.
For a few meters the path had nothing, he had not seen before until he came across a large bird picking things out of the grass.
Hoping the bird was also able to understand him Mr. Trolley asked. 'Hello, what type of bird are you?'
'I am a peacock, have you seen me with all my feathers spread out?'
'Oh, will you show me, please? I have never met a peacock before.'
The peacock stood upright and fluffed himself and whoosh the most beautiful feathers spread out like a huge fan from his back.
'Oh, golly you are magnificent.' Said Mr. Trolley utterly amazed at the peacock.
'Thank you, God made me this beautiful.'
He went further along the path smiling thinking of how much beauty there is in the world.
Professional Reviews
Mr. Trolley
“First of all I must say that the Mr. Trolley stories "give a lot" to the little ones who are hearing the stories. The way you make Mr. Trolley come to life and the details you use to describe his movement and determination. I also want to add that through your writings for Jesus and giving Him the glory for the meaning of the story I found a lot of the "Fruits of the Spirit" being presented by Mr. Trolley and friends.
Mr. Trolley in the Alley - I have to tell you that once we had read this story we all started singing "This little light of mine"
I loved each and every story and so did my granddaughter McKenzie, every time we came to the part of the story which glorifies Jesus she would ask many questions about the creation of earth and it gives the opportunity for the reader to part with information about God and how he created each and every thing on this earth. Thus educating the little ones even more about our Creator. These stories are a great way of planting the seeds.
The story about the pram. This one I really enjoyed, it had history to it. Mr. Trolley displayed most of the "Fruits of the Spirit" in this one. Great story, they all were, as soon as I think I found a favourite, I read the next one and then I am not sure which is my favourite but I think this one was.”
