Douglas and the Trucks

Douglas and the Trucks is a magazine story.

Plot
Donald and Douglas can usually be found working together but there are times they work seperately. One day, Donald is told to help in the yard which leaves Douglas to pull goods trains. Donald thinks his twin should make two trips with the amount of trucks there are but Douglas insists he is strong enough to take them all together.

The trucks grow cross with the way Douglas treats them as he sorts them together and they decide to try and pay him out. As Douglas begins to speed up along the main line, the trucks start to sway from side to side. It is especially difficult when going around bends as Douglas feels they are trying to pull him off the track but he still slows down to keep them in line.

The harbour soon comes into view and Douglas' brakes are applied. The large amount of trucks begin bumping into Douglas, forcing him to go faster. Douglas begins to get nearer and nearer to the quayside and he shuts his eyes, fearing the worst. However, Douglas is able to stop just in time. The stationmaster jokes with Douglas but Douglas now knows he should take two trips if Donald is not around.
