Why is Goti, the shiny red bus, teasing poor Vivek, the dusty coal train? Day after day, Goti’s unkind words poke fun at Vivek. Finally, Vivek has a chance to get even with Goti. What will he do? Will he show Goti how it feels to be hurt or will Vivek surprise him with kindness?
Goti, a shiny red bus, discovers the value of a true friend in an unlikely place. After teasing Vivek, a coal train, for being so slow, Goti finds himself in a real predicament. Who can help him with his problem? When he sees Vivek chugging along, he’s embarrassed as he remembers all the times he was unkind. However, Goti surprises him with kindness.
