Everyone enjoys working at Brendham Docks.
One day, Thomas, Percy and Cranky were waiting for an important cargo ship.
Cranky could see the ship was far away on the horizon.
"The ship will be late," he told Thomas and Percy.
Thomas had an idea.
"Let's play a game while we wait," he puffed.
"What shall we play?" Peeped Percy excitedly.
"Hide and Peep," tooted Thomas.
It was his favourite game.
"You go and hide Percy, "and when I find you, I will peep loudly!" "You'll never find me," puffed Percy.
"I'm the best hider ever!" "I'm the best finder," boasted Thomas.
Cranky looked down at them.
"Can I play?" he asked.
"You're too tall to hide," Thomas laughed.
Cranky felt left out.
Percy puffed away to hide.
Thomas steamed off to find his friend.
Thomas puffed past platforms, steamed by sidings, and wheeshed alongside warehouses.
But Percy was very good at hiding.
Thomas couldn't find him anywhere! Thomas puffed into a large warehouse.
He thought Percy might be hiding there.
When he got inside, he couldn't see him.
Suddenly an idea flew into Thomas's funnel.
He decided he would play a trick! Thomas pretended he knew where Percy was hiding.
(TOOTING) "Found you," peeped Thomas.
He looked around to see where Percy was.
Percy puffed out of his hiding place.
He could see Thomas hadn't really found him.
(WHISTLE BLOWING) Percy whistled loudly.
Thomas was surprised.
"You tricked me!" Percy puffed.
"You didn't know where I was at all!" Thomas felt silly.
"I'm sorry," he wheeshed.
"I'll hide again," huffed Percy.
"But no more tricks.
" And he chuffed away.
Thomas waited.
Then he steamed off to looked for Percy again.
But Percy was very good at hiding, and Thomas couldn't find him anywhere.
"Bother," huffed Thomas.
Suddenly another idea flew into his funnel.
"I'll pretend that the Fat Controller has arrived!" "Percy!" tooted Thomas loudly.
"The Fat Controller is here!" But the Fat Controller wasn't really there.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise.
Percy had been hiding at the top of the coal hopper.
Thomas was surprised! "Bust my boiler," puffed Percy.
"Where is he?" Percy couldn't see the Fat Controller anywhere.
"Found you," peeped Thomas cheekily.
Percy saw that Thomas had tricked him again.
"That's not fair," he wheeshed.
"I'm sorry," Thomas chuffed.
"Hide again.
This time I won't trick you.
" Percy puffed away to hide again.
Thomas waited.
Then he started to look for his friend.
Thomas still couldn't find him, but he did find the dock manager! The manager was also looking for Percy and Thomas.
"The ship has docked and Cranky is unloading the cargo.
" "Collect your deliveries," he told Thomas.
Thomas peeped loudly for Percy.
"Percy! The ship has docked," he tooted.
Percy heard Thomas, but he thought it was another trick! Percy decided to stay hidden.
"Cinders and ashes," cried Thomas.
"Percy thinks I'm playing another trick!" Percy would be in trouble if he didn't collect his trucks.
"If only I hadn't tricked Percy before.
" He raced over to Cranky.
"Where's Percy?" cranked Cranky.
"Percy is still hiding.
I'm not a good finder after all.
" "And I'm too tall to be a good hider," creaked Cranky.
Thomas remembered Cranky was so tall he had seen the cargo ship far out at sea.
"But you'd be a good finder!" Tooted Thomas.
Thomas asked Cranky to see where Percy was hiding.
"Or Percy will get into trouble," puffed Thomas.
Cranky didn't want them to get into trouble.
Cranky looked over warehouses, across platforms, and down onto sidings.
And there he saw Percy! "I've found him," cranked Cranky proudly.
Thomas raced over to Rocky.
(WHISTLE BLOWING) "Found you, Percy," he peeped loudly.
"Rattle my rods," puffed Percy.
He was very surprised.
"You are the best finder after all.
" "No, I'm not," Thomas puffed sadly.
"I had to ask Cranky to find you.
"He's so tall he could see you.
" "You tricked me again!" Before Percy could get cross, Thomas told him about the cargo trucks.
"It's time for our deliveries," Thomas whistled.
"We must hurry.
" Percy and Thomas steamed back to their cargo trucks.
Percy was happy his friend had found him.
Soon they were ready to leave.
"Thank you, Cranky," Thomas chuffed.
"You are the best finder!" Cranky was very pleased.
"And Percy," Thomas puffed, "you are the best hider ever!" And the two friends steamed happily away.
