Summary
A brand new tank engine had arrived on Sodor and rushed to the station to see Sir Topham Hatt. Sir Topham Hatt introduced Author to Thomas and Percy. Soon the three engine's were at work in the yard.
Author's first job was to push a train load of fruit to market, then the trucks started singing to Author, who thought it was rude. This gave Thomas a naughty idea, he told Author he must stop the trucks, but Thomas knew he never would.
After Author told the trucks they couldn't sing they were cross with Author, so the pulled him down the hill and he crashed in to the back of Ducks train. There was squashed fruit everywhere. Author was upset because his spotless record was ruined.
Thomas told Sir Topham Hatt what he had done, and he said it was fruitless for him to say anything else, then Harvey arrived and started to clear the mess. Once everything was cleared up Thomas took the loaded trucks away. That evening Author had a washed down, and Thomas said sorry to Author about the accident.
My Thoughts
This episode was, well, fruitless:) I thought it was a good episode with some funny joke's about fruit, but Percy is still asking dumb questions.
