Fix and Mend

Fix and Mend (originally titled The Clumsy Crane) is a book containing two short stories.

Fix and Mend
Victor is the engine in charge of the Sodor Steamworks. One day, Victor is called away to work at the Docks so Thomas is sent to help Kevin. Victor and Kevin give Thomas instructions but Thomas is too excited to listen. Spencer, Henry and James arrive but Thomas does not listen to what they need. Kevin tries to help but goes too fast and makes a big mess. Victor returns and is not happy. Thomas soon listens and all the engines have their problems sorted.

Best of All
Kevin the Crane helps Victor at the Steamworks. He is rather clumsy though and often drops things. One day, Spencer loudly rushes past the Steamworks. Spencer spends his time boasting to the other engines and Kevin about his greatness. The next day, however, Spencer is very quiet. He had lost his voice and by the next day, he is still unable to speak. Kevin is happy to help fix Spencer, who soon tells the others that Kevin is the best.
