Go, Train, Go! (3 page)
Authors: Rev. W. Awdry
But Thomas must go slow.
There are logs on the track.
The crane engine clears the logs.
Clickety-clack, clickety-clack,
around the logs goes Thomas
faster than fast.
There is mud up ahead!
The judge wants to go slow.
“Slow, little engine.
Slow, slow, slow.
Watch out for the mud!
Whoa, train, whoa!”
But Thomas cannot go slow.
Thomas goes faster than fast.
Into the mud …
Splish! Splash!
Thomas goes fast.
Past a town,
fast, fast.
Past a dog,
faster still.
Fast at last!
Nothing can stop him,
nothing at all.
No goat.
No dark.
No cow.
No log.
No crane.
No mud.
No town.
No dog.
This is the fastest
that Thomas can go!
Screech! go the brakes.
“Good job, Thomas!
We made it here at last!
You are a little engine,
but you go so fast!”
Here comes the judge!
The train show begins.
