Home teaching - The Little engine that could

The Little Engine that Could by Watty Piper is a very interesting book that teaches the moral of believing in oneself and never give up easily and lending a helping hand to others.  I like the catchy signature phrase "I think I can, I think I could".   I always use this to encourage Png Png to persist and don't give up.   But naughty Png Png always tell me the reverse of what the old rusty engine said "I can't, I can't".
