Thomas and the cheeky trucks

Each night as a little girl, The boss would read me a bed time story. One of my favourites was Thomas The Tank Engine. Inspired by Thomas, I've decided to write my own modern day version, so sit back and enjoy.






"Thomas!" said the Fat Controller, "Today you will pull trucks. A long train is waiting for you"
Thomas had never pulled trucks before and was nervous.

"Come along, come along" Thomas said.
"No, bugger off!", said the cheeky trucks. "We want a real engine, not a wimp like you", but Thomas didn't care and pulled the trucks from the Singapore station.
The trucks kept putting on their brakes and saying, "Give up, give up, you stupid git", but Thomas just kept going, happily whistling away pulling them along his Singapore branch line.

At last they reached Bukit Timah Hill. Thomas pulled hard, then began up the hill. The trucks tried to resist but Thomas puffed & pulled & puffed & pulled and pulled a little again, until he had reached the top of Bukit Timah Hill.

"I've done it, I've done it", Thomas panted. Then Thomas unlinked the trucks, which started to roll back down. "See you in hell", said Thomas, who watched the trucks build up speed and crash into a bridge pillion. The trucks groaned in agony as they exploded into tiny pieces.
Thomas never had any trouble with trucks again.

It's so nice to have a happy ending, don't you think boys & girls? Sweet dreams.
