Time for a Story

Time For a Story is a Season 13 episode.

Plot
The Fat Controller announces that the library is holding a story time for the children and he needs an engine to deliver the storybooks. Thomas is so excited that he does not wait for the books to be tied in place! Whilst going along a bumpy track, the trucks derail and spill all the books in to Farmer McColl's field. The books look so brightly coloured in the sunshine he goes and collects to children and takes them to the field where they have a storytime picnic.

 * The storybooks should've being transported in vans - not open-topped trucks.
