Sleeping on a Night Train

In Europe, many people travel between cities on a night train. They get on the train in the evening in one city. They sleep in a small bed inside the train. In the morning, they wake up in a new city far away.

Barani Ulaya, watu wengi husafiri kati ya miji kwa treni ya usiku. Hupanda treni jioni katika mji mmoja. Hulala kwenye kitanda kidogo ndani ya treni. Asubuhi, huamka katika mji mpya ulio mbali.

These trains have different kinds of beds. Some seats turn into simple bunks at night. Other rooms have soft beds, a little sink, and warm blankets. A worker checks the tickets early, so people can sleep without any trouble.

Treni hizi zina aina tofauti za vitanda. Viti vingine hubadilika kuwa vitanda rahisi usiku. Vyumba vingine vina vitanda laini, sinki dogo, na mablanketi ya joto. Mfanyakazi huangalia tikiti mapema, ili watu walale bila usumbufu wowote.

Night trains are coming back across Europe today. People like them because they save time and a hotel night. The trains are also better for the air than a plane. Many travelers love to watch the dark fields and quiet towns go by before they fall asleep.

Treni za usiku zinarudi tena barani Ulaya leo. Watu wanazipenda kwa sababu zinaokoa muda na usiku wa hoteli. Treni hizo pia ni bora zaidi kwa hewa kuliko ndege. Wasafiri wengi hupenda kutazama mashamba yenye giza na miji tulivu ikipita kabla ya kulala.
