Thomas chugged
by the river.
He saw children fishing.
“Peep, peep,”
Thomas said.
The children waved.
“I wish to fish,”
said Thomas.
“An engine fishing,”
the Driver said.
“That is funny!”
Each day Thomas
saw the children.
Each day Thomas
wished to fish.
One day
Thomas stopped.
“Oh, dear!” he said.
“My boiler hurts!”
The Driver looked
in the boiler.
It was empty.
The Driver filled
Thomas’ boiler
with water
from the river.
Soon they were
chugging along.
Thomas stopped again.
“Hee hee!” said Thomas.
“My boiler feels funny.”
The Driver looked
in the boiler.
It was not empty.
There was water
in the boiler.
That was not all!
There were fish, too!
Thomas had an idea.
He peeped loudly.
The children came
to see Thomas.
The children could fish
in the river!
The Driver could fish
in Thomas!
And that is what
they did.
“Peep! Peep!”
Hooray for Thomas!
Lost at Sea!
