Monster Mistake

"I've had a whale of a time!"

- Thomas

Monster Mistake is a magazine story.

Plot
One sunny day, Thomas chuffed cheerfully back to the sheds along the seaside track. Thomas soon stopped being cheerful when he spotted a black hump in the sea. Thomas, sure it's a monster, races away. At the sheds, Thomas told Diesel and the Scottish twins about what he'd seen. Diesel tells him it was the "Sea Monster of Sodor". Thomas, to prove he isn't scared, goes to the seaside track again the next day. As Thomas arrived he got a huge shock; there was a 'giant fish' on the beach. The driver explains that it's a whale that must have got into shallow waters. At the next station, the driver phones for help and soon the whale is eased back into the sea.
