Jane Smith
Listen to Tom Waits for the Train by Jane Smith as a bilingual audiobook with synchronized read-along text in English and Tamil.
Tom is an old man. He sits on a bench. The bench is wood. The station is quiet. It is morning. The sun shines bright. Tom wears a cotton coat. He wears blue pants. Tom holds a small bag. He waits for the train. The train comes at ten. Now it is nine. Tom looks at his watch. Time moves slow. A bird flies high. The bird lands near Tom. It is a little bird. The bird sings a song. Tom smiles at the bird. He reaches in his bag. He finds a small seed. He gives the seed away. The bird eats the seed. The bird is happy. Tom is happy too. A woman walks by. She wears a yellow shirt. She carries a big box. She sits near Tom. She says hello. Tom says hello too. She opens her bag. She has a red apple. She eats the red apple. It looks sweet. Tom drinks some water. The bottle is small. He feels good. The wind blows soft. Trees move outside. The station is clean. A dog walks inside. The dog is brown. It walks with a girl. The dog sits down. It looks at Tom. Tom waves his hand. The dog wags its tail. It is a good dog. The girl smiles. She talks to Tom. She asks about the train. Tom checks his watch. He answers her question. She thanks Tom. She sits on a seat. A boy sells hot tea.
