kwa the United States, a new island was found. The President decided to name it The Island Of Errol, and the news soon spread around the world.
When the engines on Sodor heard about it, they couldn't stop talking about it.
"I wonder if there are trains on there like us." alisema Thomas.
"If there are, they can't be as fast as me." Boasted Gordon.
"And they certainly won't have nicer looks like me." Bragged James.
"Duh, I like muffins." alisema Henry. All the engines gave him weird looks.
"I'd like to see what it looks like." Puffed Percy.
"Me too." Agreed Duck.
"It certainly would be cool to see the new island." alisema Sean.
Later, Sir Tophamm Hat arrived, and gave the engines their assignments. Shortly after they left, a big white car stopped near Sir Tophamm Hat's car. One person stepped out, but the driver stuck out a microphone. "Hello, au as wewe British people would say, 'Good Day.' My name is Mr. Baldwin, and I would like a word with you."
"About what?" Asked Sir Tophamm Hat?
The man that stepped out of the car spoke next, "Mr. Baldwin wishes to buy a few of your engines."
Meanwhile, the same thing happened on Mr. Percival's Railway. Mr. Percival was signing papers kwa his bicycle, when a man in a black suit appeared. "Good morning. May I have a word with you?"
"Certainly." Replied Mr. Percival nervously, "What about?"
"I understand wewe have an engine named Makenzie." How much is she worth?"
Back on Sir Tophamm Hat's railway, Sean, Nikki, and Victoria were bringing passengers into Knapford. "Interesting how Sir Tophamm Hat has the three of us bringing in passengers at the same time." alisema Sean.
"Knapford is a busy place." Remarked Nikki.
"Almost as busy as New York City." alisema Victoria, but Sean, thought that wasn't true. "Being an engine that's taken trains into the Big City before, I know how busy it gets. Especially at Grand Central Station."
Sir Tophamm Hat came to see the three engines. "I'd like wewe three to go to Tidmouth Sheds at once." So they did. Mr. Baldwin was still in his car when the three engines arrived. "Excellent. wewe are Sean, Nikki, and Victoria, correct?"
"Yes sir." Replied the engines.
"Then wewe are the ones that I want. Are wewe familiar with the Island Of Errol?"
"I heard about it, but I never went there." alisema Sean.
"That's where the three of wewe are going. From now on, wewe work on my railway. Now go to the wharf, and collect Makenzie. She'll be waiting on a flatcar. Once wewe get her, go to the docks."
"Right away." alisema the engines. They went to the wharf, where Mr. Percival was waiting with Makenzie on the flatbed. Sean coupled up to the front, while the two female engines coupled up on the back. "Well done wewe three. Now take us to the docks." alisema Mr. Percival.
Sean blew his horn as he pulled the flatcar to Brendam Docks. Nikki, and Victoria pushed from behind.
When they arrived at the docks, Sir Tophamm Hat, and some of his engines were waiting. There were Thomas, Percy, James, Gordon, Duck, Oliver, Bill, Ben, Salty, and Porter.
"Have fun on The Island Of Errol." alisema Thomas cheerfully.
"First Gator leaves, now wewe three." alisema Percy sadly.
"Hey, wewe forgot about me." Remarked Makenzie.
"Oops. Sorry."
Before Sean was being loaded onto the ship, he spoke to Gordon. "The express is all yours. I never did replace you."
"Sir Tophamm Hat was right after all." alisema Gordon with relief.
Sean alisema goodbye to the other engines before Cranky loaded him onto the ship. Of course, he needed help from two other cranes since Sean weighed a lot. "You Americans are too heavy!" Shouted Cranky, "But I'm sorry to see wewe go."
inayofuata to be loaded onto the ship, were Nikki, Victoria, and Makenzie respectively. The ship left the docks, and the engines went back to work.
"What's wrong Gordon?" Asked Thomas.
"Even though I was jealous about that Amtrak diesel, I'm going to miss him."
"Me too Gordon. Me too. In fact, I'm going to miss them all."

The End
After studying the mini booklet the past night, my mother and I decided to ride the tram bus going back to Vevey. We showed the visitor card to the driver, who then allowed us to take our seats. It was a relaxing ride. When we arrived, we went to a small shopping center to eat lunch. We also explored the department store and supermarket, where we bought some take-out food, chokoleti bars, and juice. After the mall closed for the day, we went around the neighborhood for a couple of hours before going back to the hotel. My father returned from his work and asked how our siku was. We told him that we had lots of fun together, to which he responded, "I am very happy to know that wewe are enjoying the place." Soon, it was time to go to bed. Before I slept, my mother told me that we will be visiting Montreux tomorrow.
April 2, 2010
Today is the start of our first trip to Switzerland and our very first trip to the continent of Europe. Everything is all set. We have our passports with the visas ready, our hotel has been booked, and we have arranged for a car service to take us to the airport. I was very excited for this trip. Our flight path includes a stopover in Singapore, since there are no direct flights going to Switzerland from the Philippines. The airline that we rode is Singapore Airlines. When we touched down in Singapore, we had to stay there overnight as the flight going to Zurich is on the inayofuata day. We stayed in a cheap, low quality hotel called Grand Chancellor, which is located in the Little India district. After checking in, we ate chajio, chakula cha jioni outside and did some shopping in a nearby mall. We got ready to sleep right away once we got back to our room, as we had to wake up early for the flight tomorrow...

The Island Of Sodor, 1976
It was a very foggy morning on the Island Of Sodor. Henry was going as fast as he could with the flying kipper. It was hours behind schedule.
