Edward's Reward
Edward was left out of breath and far behind. But he didn’t mind. He had helped Gordon, and that was enough for him.
When Edward finally reached the next station, the driver and fireman were waiting for him. They were very pleased with his hard work.
"Well done, Edward," the driver said. "You were a great help today."
The fireman gave Edward a nice long drink of water, and the driver added, "Tomorrow, I’ll get out my paint and give you a beautiful coat of blue with red stripes. Then you will be the smartest engine in the shed!"
