The farmer came to round the sheep, but they were so frightened that it took him a very long to clear them away from the line. This made Thomas very late and when he tried to start he found that he couldn't. The guard went back to warn the signalman that Thomas is still blocking the line. Soon Thomas was mended and he made his way towards the next station in a hurry. When he arrived he dropped off his passengers and he waited for the guard to blow his whistle and wave his green flag. But there was no guard to whistle or wave the green flag. It turns out that they've left him behind. Thomas felt terrible and thought it was a bad journey. But his driver and the Fat Controller were pleased with him scaring the stray dog. It made him happy and he forgot all about being late.
