- [Narrator] Every summer, the
island of Sodor is very busy.
Holiday makers love to sightsee
and when the weather is fine,
there is no better
place to visit.
Some people like to
go to the mountains.
Others like the valleys.
Children love the seaside.
One morning, Thomas was
puffing along the line
that runs by the coast.
His two coaches,
Annie and Clarabel,
were packed with children
going to the beach.
Everyone was happy.
(train whistle toots)
Percy was taking some
freight cars to the harbor.
"Hello, Thomas.
"You look cheerful.
"I wish I could
take children today
"instead of freight cars."
"They're the vicar's Sunday
School," explained Thomas.
"I'm busy this evening,
but the station master
"says I can ask you to
take the children home."
"Of course I will",
promised Percy.
Later, Percy saw Harold.
"Sorry Percy, can't
talk, I'm on high alert."
"Why?"
"Bad weather's due.
"My help's always needed.
"Mind how you go, Percy."
"Humph!"
Huffed Percy.
"As long as I've
got rails to run on,
"I can go anywhere,
"in any weather, anyhow.
Goodbye."
(train puffs)
"Be careful," warned Edward.
"There's a storm coming."
A promise is a
promise, thought Percy.
No matter what the weather.
The children had a lovely day,
but by teatime, dark
clouds loomed ahead.
(thunder roars)
Annie and Clarabel were
glad when Percy arrived.
He was just in time!
The rain streamed
down Percy's boiler.
"Ugh", he shivered, and
thought of his nice dry shed.
(train puffs)
(whistle blows)
(train puffs)
(suspenseful music)
Percy struggled on
past coastal villages
and into the countryside.
The river was rising fast.
"I wish I could see,
"I wish I could see",
complained Percy as he
battled against the rain.
More trouble lay ahead.
(water bubbling)
"Oh", hissed Percy.
"The water is sloshing my fire!"
Percy's driver and fireman
had to find some more firewood.
"I'll have some of your
floorboards, please,"
said the fireman
to the conductor.
"I only swept the
floor this morning,"
grumbled the conductor,
but he still helped.
Soon Percy's fire
was burning well.
He felt warm and
comfortable again,
then he saw Harold.
Oh dear, thought Percy.
Harold's come to laugh at me!
(parachute whistles)
(parcel thumps)
Something thudded
onto Percy's boiler.
"Ow,"
exclaimed Percy.
"He needn't throw things!"
"It's a parachute",
laughed his driver.
"Harold's dropping
hot drinks for us."
"Thank you Harold",
whistled Percy.
"Good to be of service",
replied Harold, and buzzed away.
The water lapped Percy's wheels.
(engine chuffs)
Percy was losing steam again,
but he plunged bravely on.
(engine chuffs)
"I promised," he
panted, "I promised!"
He made one more big
effort and at last,
exhausted but triumphant,
he brought the train home.
(train whistle toots)
"Well done, Percy",
cheered Thomas.
"You kept your promise,
despite everything."
Sir Topham Hatt
arrived in Harold.
First he thanked
the men, then Percy.
"Harold told me
you were a wizard.
"He said, he can beat
you at some things,
"but not at being a submarine.
"I don't know what you
two get up to sometimes,
"but I do know that you're
a really useful engine."
"Oh, sir", whispered
Percy happily.
