02x26 - Thomas and the Missing Christmas Tree

[bunniefuu]

Two days before Christmas, many
children were expected on the island.

All the engines were busy.

The Fat Controller wanted
the carol party to be special.

He was waiting impatiently for Thomas.

“Quickly.
Our Christmas tree has arrived.

“You get it. Duck can look after
Annie and Clarabel."

“Will we be able to sing carols?”

"We'll see.”

“It would be nice to sing carols,”
sighed Thomas, as he set off.

Thomas collected the tree,
but snowdrifts lay ahead.

“I mustn't be late.
They are relying on me.”

Thomas tried to move, but he couldn't.
There was worse to come.

Poor Thomas was snowed under.

Meanwhile the other engines waited.

They were grumbling about Thomas.

“Silence. Thomas left the works safely,

“but the telephone lines are down.
He must be stranded."

The engines felt sorry for Thomas.

The twins set off to the rescue.

Suddenly they came to a deep drift.

(Muffled) "Help!"

“Hush. I can hear something.”

“Probably the wind.”

“No, listen.”

(Muffled) “Over here."

“Och, it's Thomas.

“The poor wee engine must be frozen.”

It took time to decide
how to dig away the snow.

Thomas's driver and fireman
joined the rescue.

At last. Thomas and the Christmas tree
were freed from the snowadrift.

Then they set off to finish their journey.

The Fat controller greeted them.

“AS a reward,
you may go and enjoy the carols.

“Be quick, now.”

At the big station, all was soon ready.

“One, two, three."

Like magic, the station
was flooded with lights.

“Ladies, gentleman and children,
three cheers for Thomas and his friends

“who have made this possible.”

There was a strange whirring sound.

Percy and Toby knew who it was.

Harold the helicopter
touched down gently in the snow.

Bringing a surprise - Father Christmas!

Everyone cheered and the party began.

“It's no fun getting stuck in the snow,
but it was worth it for this.

“Happy Christmas, Percy,
happy Christmas everyone!"
