Thomas and the Ambulance

Thomas and the Ambulance is a magazine story.

Plot
One day, Thomas meets a young woman in a nurse's uniform at the station. The woman explains that she has just been employed at the hospital and will be accompanying the ambulance when it goes out.

The next day is very rainy and Thomas whistles as he passes Mrs. Kyndley's cottage, expecting the old lady to wave at him like she usually does. But when Mrs. Kyndley does not wave, Thomas' driver goes to inspect. He soon comes running back and informs Thomas that Mrs. Kyndley had slipped down the stairs and hurt her leg. The ambulance has been called and Thomas' driver stays with Mrs. Kyndley until then.

Mrs. Kyndley is placed on a stretcher and helped into the ambulance by the nurse Thomas had met the day before. When the ambulance tries to leave, its wheels have become stuck in the muddy ground. The nurse is very disapointed but Thomas offers to carry Mrs. Kyndley to the hospital in his train. Everyone agrees to the idea and soon, by the next week, Mrs. Kyndley's leg is healed.
