07x06 - What's the Matter with Henry?

- [Narrator] It was

the end of a busy day.

The engines had

been working hard.

They were feeling

pleased and proud.

Except Henry, he

was feeling ill.

"What's the matter

with you Henry?"

Thomas asked.

"My boilers grumbling."

"Maybe it's grumbling

at you," Teased Thomas.

"That's not funny,"

hissed Henry.

"You just don't care."

But Emily saw that Henry was

leaving a puddle

of water behind.

She was worried.

The next morning Sir

Topham Hatt arrived.

"Thomas, Percy, Henry,

I want you to collect

some freight cars and

take them to the docks"

"Yes sir," cried

Thomas and Percy.

Henry watched the

engines puff away.

He didn't feel well.

"Useful engines don't

complain," Henry muttered.

He was leaving water everywhere

as he chuffed towards

the coaling plant.

When Emily saw this she

was more worried than ever.

Then Thomas and

Percy overtook Henry.

"Hurry up Henry," Percy tooted.

"I can't go any faster,"

Henry chuffed miserably.

"You're just being

lazy," teased Thomas.

By the time Thomas

and Percy reached

the coaling plant they

had a naughty plan.

"Please sir," said Thomas

"Henry wants to take

more freight cars."

"He is bigger," added Percy.

The yard manager agreed.

Meanwhile Emily was

talking to Sir Topham Hatt.

"I'm worried about Henry."

"Perhaps his tubes are leaking,"

replied Sir Topham Hatt

"You'd better check."

By the time Henry

reached the coaling plant

Thomas and Percy

had already left.

"Why did Thomas and Percy

leave me so many freight cars?"

Moaned Henry.

"They know I'm

not feeling well."

"We'll still have to take

them," said his driver.

Henry chuffed and

puffed and pulled

his long line of freight cars.

"You can do it Henry,"

encouraged his driver.

But it was no use,

Henry ground to a halt.

Just then Emily arrived.

"Are you all right Henry?"

"No," moaned Henry "I'm stuck."

Henry's fireman uncoupled

the heavy freight cars.

Emily changed tracks and

then hooked up to Henry.

"Oh thank you Emily,"

wheezed Henry.

Emily and Henry

puffed into the docks.

"Well done Emily,"

said Sir Topham Hatt.

"Thank you sir."

Then he spoke to Henry.

"You were brave Henry,

you weren't well but

you still tried to pull

the heavy freight cars."

Thomas and Percy felt ashamed.

"We're sorry

Henry," said Thomas.

"We didn't think you were

really sick," added Percy.

"Go back and collect

Henry's freight cars,"

said Sir Topham Hatt sternly.

"Yes sir," whispered Thomas.

Soon Henry was mended

and back at work.

"You're looking so much

better," said Emily.

"Well they mended my tubes,

but they didn't even look

at my brakes, my gauges,

my squeaky wheels."

Emily smiled.

"All in good time Henry."

Poor Henry.
