The Flying Teapot

The Flying Teapot is a magazine story.

Plot
The Fat Controller is anxious to know who's the most useful out of Thomas, James, and Henry. There is a special event happening on Sodor Moor and the winner will get to take passengers to it. Just then, Percy chuffs into the Main Station claiming to have seen a 'flying teapot' floating over the sea, towards Sodor. Thomas was laughing so much at Percy's story that he pulls away without Annie and Clarabel and James forgets to stop at the platform. Henry couldn't stop laughing either and he forgot to take on more coal. The Fat Controller was angry with all of them and gives the special job to Percy.

The special event turned out to be a hot-air balloon rally and there, in the sky, was Percy's flying teapot. He had been right all along and had a wonderful day out.
