72. A wonderful Train Ride

"I am looking forward to this train ride," Theodore Bear said to himself as he watched the sights of the city slip by, "I was told it is very beautiful along here."  Theodore was fascinated by the high mountains that he could see in the distance and they came closer as the train traveled.  He saw the dry areas where very little grew and then the scenery changed and there were some trees.  The peaks were impressive and some were white with snow.  Sometimes the train would have to slow down to negotiate curves and in other places the tracks crept along the side of a mountain.  "I have never seen anything like this before," Theodore marveled and he hardly knew where to look first.  Then he saw the first ski resort with little cars hanging on a cable that went up and down the mountain.  "Hmm," he thought, "it must be strange to hang in mid-air like that."
