Thomas, Percy and others in “A Scarf for Percy”

[tired of the blizzard] All I want is a warm boiler. Fire lighter knows that. He's late!

He's not late. This weather woke us up early.

Gusts of wind swirled around the shed, tossing flakes of snow towards Thomas. Then they swooshed around Percy, too.

Why don't we talk about something else?

Yes, like how silly we'll look when our funnels turn into icicles.

That's not funny. Maybe we'll stop feeling cold if we talk about warm things, like sunshine and steam.

And fire lighters.

[pictures himself in a scarf] Scarves!

Scarves?! That's what you need, Percy. A woolly scarf around your funnel.
