Answer 1

Answer:

Summary of ''Engine Trouble''

What starts off as a prize winning quickly becomes a nightmare for our narrator, known only as the ''Talkative Man.'' At the start of the story, it appears that a carnival of sorts has rolled into town. The author describes the affair as ''all sorts of fun and gambling and side-shows,'' brought to town by ''a showman owning an institution called the Gaiety Land.'' Gaiety means happiness or excitement.

And, it's certainly exciting for the narrator, who finds himself the lucky winner of a road engine. The narrator had purchased tickets for a type of raffle drawing. His ticket was drawn, and he was an instant winner.
