Magical Christmas season 01
Chapter 7: Mavis
Previous Chapter Next ChapterA new engine has just arrived on the island of Sodor.She is a diesel named Mavis.She works at the quarry when ever the weather.One day,Applejack,Edward and Applejack arrived to collect some stone and deliver it to The docks.Mavis was rearranging the trucks.Then,There was trouble.Mavis accidentally bumped the trucks too hard and they came off the rails in a siding.This made Toby cross.
“You need to be more careful.”He said sternly.”We steam engines can handle trucks.”This made Mavis cross as she continued shunting trucks.
“Now,Calm down,Toby.”Said Applejack.
“It was only an accident.”Said Edward.Toby said nothing as he started down the line with his trucks loaded with stone.Later,Mavis was in the sheds when diesel arrived.
“Toby says I’m a fuss pot!”She grumbled.Diesel sensed trouble and was delighted.”He says steam engines can handle trucks and diesels can’t!”
“How absurd.”Said diesel.”Depend upon it,Mavis.Anything engines can do,We diesels can do better.”Diesel knew nothing about trucks.He was only bluffing this.But,Mavis agreed.Soon,Mavis came up with a plan.
“I’ll take the line of trucks,Myself.”She said as she backed up to a line of trucks loaded with stone and set off.”I don’t need that good for nothing Toby to help me.I can do it all by myself.”Further down the line was a crossing on top of a little hill.Toby and Edward always stop before they go up the hill.But,Mavis doesn’t know that.Instead,When she approached the crossing,She stopped on top of the little hill in front of the crossing.All traffic halted.When Mavis tried to move,Her wheels slid on the icy track.And what was worse,The troublesome trucks were holding back.
“Hold back!Hold back!”They giggled.Mavis pulled hard.But,Her wheels kept on slipping.Suddenly,There was a loud cough!Mavis had pulled so hard,Her engine blew out.Cars and busses honked their horns impatiently.Applejack,Edward,And Toby arrived at the quarry when they heard the news.
“I warned her.”Said Toby.
“I think it’s beast if we help her.”Said Edward.
“She’ll be in big trouble when Sir Tophom Hatt finds out.”Replied Applejack.They soon arrived at the crossing to help Mavis.
“Having trouble?”Toby asked.”I am surprised.”He and Edward pushed Mavis back down the hill and into the quarry.Sir Tophom Hatt was waiting for Mavis at her shed.He was very cross.
“Mavis,You have caused confusion and delay!”He said sternly.”You stay in the shed as punishment until you’ve learned your lesson about trucks.”So,Mavis stayed in the shed while Applejack,Edward,And Toby took the train of stone to the docks.
“I hope Mavis behaves well,Soon.”Said Toby.”Don't you?”
