トロッコに乗(の)ること

Ryokichi was a boy who worked at a construction site deep in the mountains. His job was to carry stones and soil, but he was always tired. At the site, there was a trolley for transporting materials. Every time the trolley moved, Ryokichi would gaze at it enviously. He only wished from the bottom of his heart that he could ride it someday.
