Summary

One day Toad was happy singing, but then Duck came by and said he should do his work quietly. Then as they passed the beach Toad spotted a wale, but Oliver didn't believe him.

In the yard Toad told Thomas about the wale, but Oliver told Thomas he imagined it. But on the way back Oliver stopped by the beach and saw the wale. Then they went to alert the Sodor Search & Rescue Center.

Once they got back to the beach they dug trenches around the wale and Flynn and Belle sprayed it to keep it wet. Oliver went to Knapford Station and all the engines were there talking about the wale. Then Toad told Sir Topham Hatt his idea to take the wale to Brendam docks because the water was deeper there, and Sir  Topham Hatt thought it was a great idea, and he called the Sodor Search & Rescue manager right a way.

Thomas fetched Rockey and he soon lifted the wale on to a flat bed, then at the Docks Cranky lifted the wale back in the water and it swam away. Once the wale was gone every time Toad passed by Bluf's Cove Toad remembered the wale with a song.
