a babysitter in sanibel ran happily behind suddenly thomas began to feel a pain in the boiler steam began to hiss from a safety valve in an alarming manner there is too much steam said his driver oh dear moaned thomas im going to burst im going to burst they put out their fire and they struggled to keep going I'm in so much pain I'm in so much pain Thomas hist they pulled up just outside the last station, uncoupled annie and clarabelle and ran to thomas, who were still kissing fit tubers on a side track just out of the way, while the guard was calling on the phone. a motor inspector the driver found notices in big letters which he hung up on thomas front and back danger get out soon the inspector and the fat controller came cheer up thomas they said they will fix you soon the driver told him what had happened so he feed the pipe it's locked said the inspector i'm going to look in the tanks he went up and looked inside and then came down excuse me sir please look in the tank and tell me what you see certainly the inspector replied the Fat Controller climbed up locked and almost fell off in surprise inspector whispered can see fish omg how did your driver get the fish we must have caught them in the river with our bucket replied thomas driver ok thomas so you and your driver have been fishing but the fish are not as it suits you we should get them out.

They all took turns fishing in Thomas's tank while the Fat Controller watched and told them how to do it. well set up the fat controller but the fish doesn't suit him thomas so he mustn't do it again no sir i won't tell thomas unfortunately the motors won't fish it's too awkward
