Summary

Fergus is a small traction engine that work's on Sodor, and one day he was on his way to work at the quarry. On the way Thomas warned Fergus about Bill and Ben's trick's. Bill bashed his truck's hard and some rocks fell on the track, Fergus told him to do it right, but Bill didn't like being told what to do.

Then Ben pushed his trucks to block the line, and now Fergus was stuck. The next day the men were blasting rock, and Fergus told them to wait for the clear signal and to do it right, now Bill and Ben were cross with Fergus. The quarry manager sent Bill and Ben to the docks to collect a rock crusher. At the docks Bill and Ben told each other that the next time Fergus told them to do something right that they would do it wrong.

When they got back to the quarry Fergus warned them that the blasting had made the track by the cliff unsafe, but Bill and Ben went toward it with the rock crusher. Fergus bumped them out of the way just in time, but now he was covered in the rocks. It took a long time to dig Fergus out, and no one worked harder to help than Bill and Ben. Once Fergus was uncovered Bill and Ben said they were sorry, and Fergus said they could all do it right from now on.

My Thoughts

Well after seeing Timothy he reminds be a lot of Fergus because he is basically the same character converted to an engine. Why don't Bill and Ben's driver's control the engine's? And Bill and Ben should have gotten in trouble from a quarry manager or Sir Topham Hatt.
