henry was sad.
oh I suffer dreadfully and no one cares. he said mournfully.
what do you think is wrong driver? the fat controller asked.
I think it's the coal, we had a bad lot come in and it is by far the worst. the driver replied.
maybe we can try that welsh coal it might suit henry better. the fat controller observed.
that might be the answer sir, said the fireman.
the next morning when henry woke up his fireman was stoking his fire and preparing it.
he used the welsh coal, first he used small pieces then put larger ones around it.
whoosh, your spoiling my fire, henry stated.
just you wait and see we will have a roaring fire in no time. the fireman stated.
at knaphord station henry was waiting with his train.
hello henry how do you feel? sir topham hat asked.
fine sir. henry answered.
this welsh coal is doing wonders for henry sir, said the driver.
good, now no record breaking please, you will have to hold him back. said the fat controller.
no worries sir, henry won't need holding back, we will keep him in check. said the driver.
good, the fat controller said then climbed on board.
when henry reached Elsbridge he arrived few minutes before Thomas.
hurry up lazybones I can't be kept waiting by silly tank engines like you. and henry was off like a rocket.
whoosh, have you seen anything like that? Thomas asked his coaches.
no we haven't, they replied.
