Chapter 1: Thomas Leaves Sodor
It had been twelve years since Thomas had left the Island of Sodor. He had been ordered. The Fat Controller had been notified by the King of Sweden that he needed an engine to help win a war. It would be an honor to have an engine from the little Island to be the one and only. There had been a meeting to choose which engine would be the honorable. Gordon and James of course hoped that they would be chosen, as they claimed they were mighty fine. But that didn't seem to affect the Controller. Instead, to all the shock of the other engines, he chose Thomas. "Thomas," he said, "I chose you because you have been the most trusting and loyal engine for the past year. I think you will be trusted and able enough for you to take the honor of being the only one to go to Sweden and help. I will see you later on when the ship comes." "But Sir," all the big engines protested, "We are the mightiest engines. We pull very important coaches. We are stronger and so much faster. Why don't you choose one of us?" "The decision is final." The Fat Controller said firmly. "Get on with your work." And then he drove off in Winston.
