Thomas for Sweden Finale

Thomas returned after 12 long years to Sodor. Although he was no longer a little blue tank engine. Sweden remodeled him to fit one of their favorite lost tender engine, named Anders. He was now near the size of Sam. But all his friends rejoiced with him once they overcame the shock, a surprise that pleased Thomas very much.

It was Christmas time now, a time to let go of all the pain and hurt of the year and be glad and celebrate the new year. Knapford station was bustling as usual with all the engines. As many of the engines were gathering, they all could hear a faint, happy voice singing,

"En Jul när mor var liten

Hörde hon hor någon en kväll

Stod där ute och stampa

Och gav dörr´ n en smäll

In där klev en julbock,

Skäggig och med luden rock

Han tog ur en påse

små paketer opp

Mor, hon fick en docka

Mycket söt och riktigt klädd

Men när bocken hoppa,

Oj vad hon blev rädd

Mor hon har en bror du vet

Han fick också sitt paket

Och i det han fann en

Trumma och trumpet

Nu är bocken gammal

Han är nog båg´ halt och grå

Men han kanske hittat

Hit till oss ändå

Stiger in med påsen stor

Ser sig kring och frågar mor:

"är det här, de glada,

Snälla barnen bor?"

The other engines smiled contentedly. At last, Thomas was home. He was here to stay, and the rest is history. But at times, Thomas still wondered if he heard Anders's voice telling him in the distance, "You were always meant to be a hero."

This is a sneak peek to the end of my story. Hope you all enjoy it!
