Thomas and Gordon
Thomas is a tank engine, who lives at a big station on the Island of Sodor. He's a cheeky little engine with six small wheels, a short stumpy funnel, a short stumpy boiler, and a short stumpy dome.
He's a fussy little engine too always pulling coaches about ready for the big engines to take on long journeys. And when trains come in, he pulls the empty coaches away so that the big engines can go and rest.
Thomas thinks no engine works as hard as he does. He loves playing tricks on them, including Gordon the biggest and proudest engine of all. Thomas likes whistling rudely at him. "Wake up lazy bones! Why don't you work hard like me?"
One day after pulling the big Express, Gordon had arrived back at the sidings very tired. He was just going to sleep when Thomas came up in his cheeky way, "Wake up lazy bones do some hard work for a change. You can't catch me." And off he ran laughing.
