One day, several new residents arrived in the city. One of them, Diesel-580, caught Riley's attention. Diesel-580 is quiet, timid, insecure and very shy. Riley liked to scare him with loud and unexpected horns, and say all sorts of unpleasant things to Diesel. He used to do this before... He said and did unpleasant things to other locomotives. He thought they were all worse than him. Riley offended Diesel more than he offended anyone else. Many complained about Riley. He behaved simply unacceptably. Every month things got worse; Riley now even stopped listening to the workers and even the head of the railroad.
"I can't take it anymore!" Viola complained to the head of the railway. "Take some action. Riley used to just offend all, but now he just doesn't listen to anyone! He makes noise where it is necessary to be quiet. And recently he started to interfere with my and Mary's sleep." "I can only move you to another depot. I myself just don't know what to do with it."
One day the mayor of Villaurban city came to the railroad. "Hello," said the head of the railroad. "What are you about?" "I'm talking about Riley... I honestly understand how hard it is for you and I won't scold you because of him. Instead, I want to kick him from the city. I think we have the right to do this, because there were too many complaints about Riley." Diesel-580 approached two men. "Um... Hello?" he said softly "Oh, hi, Diesel. There's something I want to ask you..." "Are you sure that it is worth entrusting it to him? Still, Riley offended him more than he offended others ..." the mayor asked "I think so. In any case... I'll be there, with Diesel ." replied the head of the railway. He walked up to Diesel and whispered what Diesel had to say to Riley. "But... Are you sure I can handle it?" "Yes. I'll be there. You need to get bolder, right?" "That's right..." Diesel said, "I'll try."
In the evening, Riley was going to make some noise again. But suddenly Diesel-580 stopped by. "Hello," he said quietly. "Hi, loser," Riley replied. "Hush, hush... Don't be upset by what he called you." said the head of the railroad in a whisper. "You know... You'll be kicked out of town if you don't behave better!" blurted out Diesel, not expecting it himself. "What? I don't believe it!" Riley said mockingly. "It's true! True! True!" Diesel screamed. "Hush, I'll deal with him myself." said the head of the railway. He got out of the Diesel's cab and walked over to Riley. "The mayor said it himself." said the head of the railroad. "W-what?" Riley winced. He was ready to cry. Fluff, the white cat, suddenly ran into the depot. He made a formidable muzzle and hissed. Riley trembled as he realized that even the cat was against him.

The others laughed at the sight of Fluff. Fluff was very happy with it "Forgive me!" Riley said From that day on, Riley began to change for the better. Riley now has friends. Sometimes he joked with others, but it was not as offensive as before.
