Train Refreshments

Text

On Page 6 of the book, The Polar Express, it reads:
​
"The train was filled with other children, all in their pajamas and nightgowns. We sang Christmas carols and ate candies with nougat centers as white as snow. We drank hot cocoa as thick and rich as melted chocolate bars. Outside, the light of the towns and villages flickered in the distance as the Polar Express raced northward."
