Thomas & Friends: Tale of the Brave Page #4

---

You still look really useful

to me.

Uh, no,

I mean sent to the scrapyard

to collect cars

filled with scrap.

Oh, I see.

Silly us.

Yes, silly us.

Cheer up, James.

Pulling cars isn't so bad.

You can't always do the jobs

you like best.

James was not a happy engine

as he puffed to the scrapyard.

Hello, scaredy-engine.

Seen any monsters lately?

You can tease

if you want to, James,

but there really might be

a monster on sodor, you know.

Ha, puff and nonsense.

There's no such thing

as monsters.

Well,

thomas saw giant footprints

up at the clay pits,

and nobody knows what made them.

Giant footprints?

Huh, I wonder-whoa!

Oh, oh, oh, whoa!

Ahh!

Oh.

Hello, mate.

You came in fast.

Scrap give you a bit

of a fright, did it?

Ha, no.

I'm not scared

of pieces of metal

and rusty old machines.

Is that right?

Well, aren't you the big engine?

Reg is the name.

I'm the scrapyard crane.

Well, I'm James,

and I usually pull coaches.

Well, there's a surprise.

Meanwhile,

Percy had arrived at the docks.

But he didn't expect to find

gator still there.

- Gator.

- Hello.

Are you working on sodor now?

No, Percy.

I missed my ship.

I'm just helping

the dock manager

while I wait for another one.

He needs me to collect some cars

from duck's branch line tonight.

Tonight?

But aren't you afraid

of monsters?

Monsters?

What monsters?

Monsters would probably

be afraid of me.

Wow.

You're brave, gator.

I wish I was as brave

as you are.

You might be braver

than you think, Percy.

I wasn't always as brave

as I am now.

I'm designed to work

in the high mountains, Percy.

That's why my water tanks

are this special shape.

But just because you're designed

for something

doesn't mean you can't

be afraid of it.

And it was a shock for me

to find out

that I was afraid of heights.

One day I was faced with having

to cross a high bridge,

higher than any bridge

I'd ever seen before.

But I was pulling cars loaded

with important supplies.

The villagers needed my help.

I decided I must be brave.

It took everything in me

to cross that bridge,

but I did it,

even though I was scared.

So, you see, being brave

isn't the same

as not feeling scared.

Being brave is about what you do

even when you do feel scared.

Percy, where are you going?

There's something I have to do.

Hello, thomas.

Guess what.

Um, let me see.

Have you been asked to deliver

a giant balloon on a flatbed?

No.

I've decided to be brave

and take the mail train tonight.

Oh, so you're not feeling scared

about monsters anymore?

Being brave is not the same

as not feeling scared, thomas.

Being brave is about what you do

even when you do feel scared.
