Thomas & Friends: Tale of the Brave Page #5

---

Gator told me that.

Good luck, Percy!

Thank you, thomas.

Be careful out there.

Monsters are hard to see

in the dark.

Don't you worry about me.

Why are you teasing Percy

like that, James?

I'm teasing Percy because

he's a scaredy-engine, Emily.

Ah, there you are, James.

Don't settle down.

I need you to pull

the flying kipper tonight

and deliver fresh fish

for the morning.

But that's henry's job.

Henry has taken a heavy goods

train to the mainland.

He won't be back

before tomorrow.

Well,

why can't Emily do it or thomas?

I don't like pulling cars.

I'm asking you, James.

You can't always do the jobs

you like, you know.

Be careful out there, James.

Monsters can be very hard

to see in the dark.

Percy was very happy

to be pulling

the mail train again.

Thomas is right.

There's no such thing

as monsters.

And gator is right too.

I can be brave.

That's not a monster.

That's just a haystack.

Those aren't monsters, either.

They're just trees...

not scary at all.

Percy didn't feel

scared about monsters anymore.

He felt brave,

while James, on the other hand,

felt grumpy.

It's not fair.

First I'm sent to work

at the scrapyard.

And now Henry gets to go

on holiday to the mainland,

while I have to spend the night

pulling smelly fish.

Ugh.

Yuck.

You look like you're in

a sunny mood again, James.

Hmph, well it's not sunny.

It's nighttime.

Hello.

Ah! oh!

Not again.

Ahh!

Ohh!

James was so frightened

that he missed the red signal,

hit the points,

came off the rails,

and ended up in a pond.

Oh!

Pthew!

Are you all right?

I didn't mean to give you

a fright.

Oh, James.

Heh, I see you met gator.

Heh.

The next day,

Percy was very happy,

not just because he had taken

the mail train again

and not because of what

had happened to James

but because his new friend,

gator,

was now working

on sir topham hatt's railway.

Later that day,

James arrived

at knapford station.

Here he comes.

The other engines

thought what had happened

to him was very funny, indeed.

Gator may have

a sloping water tank, James,

but that's nothing to be

frightened of.

Percy got a fright too

when he first saw gator.

Thank you for taking

the flying kipper for me, James,

only you're meant to deliver

the fish,

not throw them back

in the water.

I'll show them who

the scaredy-engine is.

That night when Percy set out

to take the mail train...

James set out

into the night too.

And he wasn't taking

the flying kipper.

Percy was back into his routine.

Everything was going fine.

He stopped in the stations

and waited

while the mail sacks

were loaded and unloaded,

and he didn't see anything

that worried him at all.
