This ineractive piece for pre-schoolers follows two characters waiting for a delayed train. To entertain themselves, Piper starts telling the story of the famous book "The Little Engine That Could" using found objects drawn from the contents of luggage. Watty meanwhile is desperately searching for means of digital distraction. With the help of Piper's young collaborators in the audience, Watty eventually joins in the creative play.
