- [Narrator] There are
many beautiful places
on the island of Sodor.
The engines love the
pretty watermill,
the peaceful canals, and
the castle on the lake.
(train chugging)
Toby's favorite place
is the old windmill.
The windmill is worn, it
cannot make much flour now.
Toby loves to watch
the sails go around.
And the miller is his friend.
- [Miller] Good morning, Toby.
- [Narrator] One day,
Toby was collecting
a load of flour to
take to the market.
But he was so busy watching
the windmill's sails
that he forgot to look
where he was going.
(crashing)
All the flour was ruined.
And the miller was upset.
- [Miller] If I
can't sell my flour,
I'll have to shut
down the windmill.
- [Narrator] I'm
sorry, sighed Toby.
Harvey arrived to put the
trucks back onto the track.
Toby was sad.
- [Toby] What will the Miller
do if his mill shuts down?
- [Narrator] It's a
shame, said his driver.
- [Driver] But we
must hurry Toby,
there's a storm on the way.
(thundering)
- [Narrator] Toby
couldn't sleep that night.
It wasn't the thunder and
lightening that kept him awake.
He was still worrying
about the miller.
That stormy night
the old windmill was
struck by lightening.
(dramatic music)
The next morning, Toby chuffed
carefully along his branch line.
The storm had torn
trees from the ground.
And the farm buildings
had been damaged.
Then Toby saw the most
shocking sight of all.
The windmill is
broken, he cried.
This means the end
of my business, said
the miller, sadly.
- [Miller] I can't afford the
timber to make the repairs.
- [Narrator] Toby
really wanted to help.
- [Toby] There must be a way.
- [Narrator] Suddenly his
driver saw a fallen tree ahead.
Harvey and Terence were
clearing the track.
Sir Topham Hatt was cross.
- [Sir Topham Hatt]
This storm has caused
confusion and delay.
Remove this tree immediately.
- [Narrator] But
Toby had an idea.
- [Toby] Please sir, the
windmill has been broken.
The wood from this
tree can mend it
and make it work again.
- [Narrator] A splendid
idea, agreed Sir Topham Hatt.
Toby proudly took the
tree to the miller.
(upbeat music)
The miller was delighted.
- [Miller] Now we can build
our windmill back up again.
It will be good as new.
- [Narrator] Toby watched
as the work began.
It took a long time.
But at last, the
windmill was completed.
Sir Topham Hatt
was most impressed.
The miller was grateful.
- [Miller] Thank you Toby,
your idea saved my windmill.
- [Narrator] Toby
beamed happily.
Now the windmill produces
more flour than ever before.
And Toby makes twice as many
deliveries to the market.
He never tires of watching
the sails go around.
And he is very proud
that the miller
now calls it Toby's Windmill.
