Long long time ago there lived a Kenyan train called Nia, Her father passed away six years ago, and that made Nia and her mother very sad and have a low income.

Nia's mother tried to make money at her spices shop. And there was no other job to have in Kenya.

So Nia and her mother decided to travel to Sodor.

" Mother, I'm deciding to travel to Sodor and live there." said Nia

" Nia, my beautiful daughter, I don't have the money to travel to another country and a new town, after your father's passing, it's harder to live."
Replied her mother with a sniff.

" Don't cry mother, I can get the money to travel, I can work at the spice shop to earn money."

Comforted Nia.

Nia worked for long hours at the spice shop, she couldn't go to school for six years since her father had died, so she just helped her mother work. And When her father was there, she could get her education.

One afternoon when Nia was working at the spices shop, she found something in the dust.... It was something gold.... It was the genie lamp. Nia cleaned the lamp and then....... A genie came out of the  lamp.

" I am genie of the golden lamp." replied the spirit inside the lamp. " I'm Jahana, the genie, I'll grant you three wishes." she said

" My name is Nia, and Of course I will accept three wishes." said Nia

" you can wish for anything, Anything in the whole entire world!!" replied Jahana.

" I wish to have money to travel to Sodor and temporary visas to stay in England." wished Nia.

Then... Golden magical dust appeared and there were two temporary visas for Nia and her mother.

" These Temporary visas last for unlimited years, and you have enough money to travel to England." said Jahana

" Thank you so much, Mother will be very happy and proud." replied Nia

" No Problem." said Jahana

Nia showed her mother the two temporary visas and her mother's eyes glowed bright just like two light bulbs.

" You really did, and how did you get all this money and the unlimited visas from?" asked her mother looking amazed.

" This golden lamp has a genie inside and she gave me the money and visas." explained Nia

" I don't believe there is a genie inside that golden lamp, it might just be good luck." replied her mother not believing Nia.

" But Mother, it's true." convinced Nia.

After dinner that night, Nia decided to sell clay pots in the markets, each
day she will earn a little bit of money and by the end of the week, she will make additional money for her and her family.

Nia wishes she met the royal family of Sodor.....

" Thomas, you have to find a girl to marry before your next birthday." said the queen of Sodor.

" Mother I don't want to get married, I already have Ashima, so do I have to reject her?" answered Thomas.

" Well you have to reject your little girlfriend and get married.!!!" snapped the queen.

Thomas already married Ashima, but he wasn't allowed to have her. So Thomas went around the island of Sodor to look for girls who were suitable to marry him.

But in the end he had no luck and he came back to the palace without a girl to show his mother.

Back in Kenya...

" Come on Mother, I'm travelling to Sodor now." said Nia.

" Have fun Nia, I will join you there soon." replied her mother.

" Bye mother." said Nia

When Nia was on her way to Sodor, she rubbed the lamp again for her second wish.

" I wish that I came to Sodor as a princess and I wish I had gifts for the prince and his mother." commanded Nia

" you are now princess of Kenya, and here are the gifts for the prince and his mother." replied Jahana.

" Thanks so much." said. Nia
" No problem my princess." replied Jahana with a smile.
