Once an engine attached to a train, was afraid of a few drops of rain.

Once, an engine attached to a train was afraid of a few drops of rain. It went into a tunnel and squeaked through its funnel and wouldn't come out again. The engine's name is Henry. His driver and fireman argued with him. That's what we meant to say!
