Spencer The Naughty Diesel

It was a nice day down at Sodor. All the trains were busy taking their loads to and from. Sir Topham Hat asked all the engines to be on their best behavior while he left the station with Toby. They were to listen to Gordon, the wise old engine and do as he said. Gordon was very proud of his new job from Sir Topham Hat and told him, "You can count on me, Sir!" Gordon told a few of the engines their jobs for the day but there are so many engines, there was some miscommunication. Thomas was to pick up passengers at Wellsworth Station but instead Edward, James, Percy, Rusty, Salty, Diesel and Culdee showed up! Oh no! Then there was so much commotion on the tracks, Culdee derailed and fell over on his side. Sir Topham Hat was NOT going to be happy.


Thomas was headed to the Wellsworth Station when he got word that he was to pick up barrels at the dock. Gordon followed him there. "what are you doing Thomas? You're supposed to be picking up the passengers at the station?" "I am?" he replied. "Spencer told me that I was to pick up barrels at the dock!" Gordon grumbled, "No! You are to pick up passengers! Emily is to pick up barrels." Thomas took off quickly to the station.



Just then Emily was spotted by Gordon. Gordon spouted, "where have you been? You need to pick of barrels immediately." "Sorry," Emily replied. Gordon was getting very angry.



Just then Gordon spotted Spencer. "Spencer, why did you tell Thomas to pick up barrels?" asked Gordon. "It was a joke! HAHA!" Laughed Spencer. "Well it's not funny" said Gordon. "I am incharge, Sir Topham Hat said so. You don't do that again!" Gordon said angrily.


When Thomas arrived at the station, it was chaotic. Culdee the purple engine was finally flipped back over and on his way. Everyone else was behind. Finally the passengers were picked up and put on Annie and Clarabel and they were on their way.


Finally, Sir Topham Hat returned with Toby.


"Gordon, the passengers have left and the dock work is all done. Great job." he said. "Thank You, Sir." Gordon said. Spencer, nearby came over and apologized to Sir Topham Hat and Gordon for his dirty trick. "Spencer, you are a naughty little engine." Sir Topham Hat replied. Then he sent all the trains back to the Roundhouse to go to bed.

The End.
