you really you must be more careful you rabbits are really something you think
you can Thunder all around the countryside wherever you like without looking out for
pedestrians well apology accepted rabbit next time I'm out for a walk I I think
I'll wear a rabbit catcher the way some engines have cow
catchers a cow catcher is kind of a well it's sort of a here let me show you
one whistle I can't tell my stories without it can I I must have dropped it
I will tell [Music]
you it's not here in the lost and found box I suppose that means it hasn't been
found maybe I should look for my whistle in the lost but not found box maybe a
train took it away by accident after all didn't a train once take a cricket ball
by accident I'd like to tell you that story but I haven't got a
whistle wait yes yes I
have come on think whistles don't just disappear into thin air I must have put
it down somewhere unless of course a ghost took it no that's nonsense even
Thomas the Tank Engine doesn't believe in ghosts not anymore
anyway [Music] what we have here is a mystery to solve
of course some people find Myster is kind of scary even
Percy sorry to bother you Mrs bird well I know that you birds are very
honest it's just that you have been known to borrow shiny metal things and
I'm desperate a conductor without his conductor's whistle is like like a frog
without a lily pad like a hoola without a hoop like like Peter Sam without a
special funnel Mrs bird would you mind

badly behaved than coaches I remember when Thomas was very new he encountered
some really naughty Freight [Music]

squirrels they aren't Dependable creatures what they are is cheeky and
those squirrels are cheekier than most scatter scatter chatter chatter I swear

you we have to do something but what that Windstorm last night completely
wrecked the early bird's nest they need help but how well yes I I suppose
getting all the other birds to Stage a benefit concert would help but would they do it who should I
ask well I know Skylar is a wonderful singer but she'd never do it she's so
stuck up you know who Skylock reminds me of that silly snob of an engine sir
[Music] handle scarlo and reneus work on the
railway that weaves round lakes and and along Mountain sides their coaches are filled with visitors and the engines are
proud to run the line come rain or
[Music]
shine the engines will never let their passengers down but they are old and they Tire more easily
their drivers understood this and they spoke kindly to them there's more than enough work for both of you on this
Railway the manager is sending two more engines to help us run the
line scarlo and reneus were pleased with this news and promised to give the new
engines a big
welcome when sir handle and Peter Sam arrived they found they had much to
learn what a small shed grunted sir handle this won't do it all we're much
too good for this old shack I think it's nice said Peter Sam
huh replied sir hand what's that rubbish sh said Peter Sam that's
scarloey he's famous and then he whispered to scarlo I'm sorry scarlo sir handle's
upset now but he's quite nice really scarloey felt sorry for Peter
Sam now sir handle said the fireman I will get you ready for work I'm tired
let Peter Sam go he'd love it no you're
first sir handle puffed away to fetch his coaches he didn't like the look of them
at all whatever next those aren't coaches they're cattle
cars car s wo Scream the coaches what a horrid
engine it's not what I'm used to clanks her [Music]
handle he rolled to the platform just as Gordon
arrived hello who are you I'm Gordon who are you I'm sir handle I've heard of you
you're an Express engine so am I but I'm used to new coaches not these cattle
cars do you have new coaches I see you do we must have a chat sorry I can't
stop we must keep time you know Gordon was
speechless clouds of steam filled the air as Sir handle huffed and puffed along the
[Applause] line
he was still cross when they reached the top station sir handle was hoping for a rest but his driver thought otherwise
we'll leave the coaches now and fetch some cars from the Quarry cars snorted sir handle cars I won't so
there sir handle was about to cause a great deal of
trouble told you said sir
by the time Workman came to rescue him sir handle was feeling rather silly to make matters worse there stood
sir toam hat his message to Sir handle was brief and blunt I shall talk to you
later then he and the firemen left with Peter Sam sir handle felt sillier
still come on said his driver let's get you back on the
rails when sir handle crawled home he found sir toam hat waiting for him
you're a very naughty engine I hope I can trust you to behave
when you next come out of this shed after hearing that I'm sure sir handle
will aren't you I will call her give me a minute I
have to rehearse a bit Skylark I was wondering if you'd be so
kind as to perform a song or two at a benefit concert to help the early
birds she hung up on me who does she think she is I told you someday that
stuck up Skylark will learn her lesson just the way sir handle
did Sir handle is very proud of his big sturdy Wheels they have broad TI ties
and hold well to the rails but they are [Music] unusual one day the other engines
wouldn't stop teasing him look at his steamroller wheels they
joked be quiet snorted sir handle you're jealous don't worry soothed Peter Sam
the engines all teased me about my special FAL until they learned how useful it is did you hear that Huffs are
handle my wheels are special like Peter Sam's Fun I can go faster than any of you scarlo
had a plan to make sir handle see sense with your grand Wheels sir handle said
scarloey you're just the engine to tackle George who's
George that Steamroller over there replied scarloey
listen the steamroller was making rude remarks about the [Applause]
engines Railways are no good turn turn them into the roads pull them up turn them into roads Railways are no good
turn them into roads pull them up turn them into the roads don't worry said sir
handle leave him to me I'll send him packing George will soon get a run for
his money later that morning George was at the level
[Music] crossing huh you're a handle I suppose
sir handle was standing No Nonsense and you I suppose are George yes I've heard
of you and I've heard of you you Swank around with your steamroll of Wheels
pretending you're as good as me actually I'm better
[Music]
goodbye George chuffer on fuming
later that day sir handle brought a special load down after the last train had
gone when he had reached the road he saw George traveling home sir handle tried
to attract his attention beep George took no notice there was
barely room to [Music]
[Applause] [Music] pass sir handle was cross get out of my
way you great clumsy roadhog huh I don't move for imitation steam rollers you don't know the road
get out of my [Music] way then there was
[Music]
trouble uh-uh cried sir handle that was your fault no it wasn't it was yours
[Music] everyone was arguing about who was to
blame hello hello hello said a policeman ominously and what's going on here this
made everyone stop arguing they set to work clearing up the mess
instead next day the Workman put up a fence between the road and the
railway then they went away taking George with them
sir hangle thought he had made George go [Music]
away he talked of nothing but Steamrollers oh dear whispered scarloey
he's worse than ever I'm sorry my plan was no good never mind said Rusty we
will'll think of something else but they had no need to do that some boys arrived instead they
pointed to the engine and cried look here's sir handle he tried to race a
steamroller but the steamroller nearly beat him sir handle never mentioned
Steamrollers now I know she didn't really hang up on
me because I didn't really call her but a imagine how I'd feel if she
had no we'll have to get someone else to perform what about Old Brown the owl
that who song of his is always a hit we'll call it the who live in
concert he's not too advanced in years to do it remember how old Edward came
through when James needed [Music] help one day James had to wait at the
station till Edward and his train came in this this made him cross late
again Edward laughed and James fumed
[Music] away after James had finished his work he went back to the yard and puffed onto
the [Music]
turntable he was still still feeling very bad tempered Edward is impossible he
grumbled to the others he clanks about like a lot of Old Iron and he is so slow
he makes us wait Thomas and Percy were indignant old iron slow why Edward could
beat you in a race any day really said James I should like to see him do
it next morning James's driver was suddenly
taken ill he could hardly stand so the fireman uncoupled James ready for
shunting James was impatient suddenly the signalman
shouted there was James puffing away down the line all traffic halted called the
signalman then he told the fireman what had happened two boys were on James's
foot plate fiddling with the controls sh they tumbled off and ran when James
started the signalman answered the telephone yes he's here right I'll tell
him the inspector's coming at once he wants a shunter pole and a coil of wire rope what for wondered the
fireman search me but you better get them quickly the fireman was ready when
Edward arrived [Music]
the inspector saw the pole and the rope good man jump
in we'll catch him we'll catch him huffed Edward James was
[Music]
laughing what a lock what a lock he chuckled to
himself suddenly he was going faster and
faster he realized that he had no driver what shall I do I can't stop help
help we're coming we're coming called
Edward Edward was panting up behind with every ounce of steam he had at last he
caught up with
James steady Edward called his driver the inspector stood on Edward's
front holding a noose of rope in the crook of the shunter pole he was trying to slip it over
James's buffer the engines swayed and
lurched at last got him he shouted he pulled the Noose tight gently breaking
Edward's driver checked the engine speed and James's fireman scrambled across and took
control so the old iron caught you after all chuckled Edward I'm sorry whispered
James thank you for saving me you were Splendid Edward that's all right replied
Edward the Eng engin arrived at the station side by side sir toam hat was
waiting a fine piece of work he said James you can rest and then take your
train I'm proud of you Edward you shall go to the works and have your worn Parts
mended oh thank you sir said Edward it'll be lovely not to
Clank I called Owl he sleeps all day but I got his answering machine I left
message but I doubt he'll show up I suppose we could ask cuckoo but
he's so cheeky cuckoo is every bit as cheeky as Thomas the Tank
Engine it was a beautiful morning on the island of Sodor Thomas the Tank engines
blue paint sparkled in the sunshine as he puffed happily along his Branch line with Annie and
clarabel he was feeling very pleased with himself
[Music]
hello Thomas whistled Percy you look Splendid yes indeed boasted Thomas blue
is the only proper color for an engine oh I don't know I like my brown
paint said Toby I've always been green I wouldn't want to be any other color
either added Percy well well anyway Huff Thomas blue is the only color for a
really useful engine everyone knows
that Percy said no more he just grinned at Toby later Thomas was resting when Percy
arrived a large Hopper was loading his Freight Cars full of coal Thomas was still being cheeky
careful he warned watch out with those silly cars go on go on muttered the
cars and by the way when on Thomas those buffers don't look very safe to
me the last load poured down help help cried
Thomas get me out Percy was worried but he couldn't
help laughing Thomas's smart blue paint was cut in cold dust from smokebox to
[Music] Bunker haha chuckled Percy you don't
look really useful now Thomas you look really disgraceful I'm not disgraceful choked
Thomas you did that on purpose get me
out it took so long to clean Thomas that he wasn't in time for his next
train Toby had to take Annie and clarabel poor Thomas whispered Annie to
clarabel they were most [Music]
[Laughter]
upset Thomas was grumpy in the shed that night Toby thought it a great joke but
Percy was cross with Thomas for thinking he had made his paint dirty on purpose
fancy a really useful blue engine like Thomas becoming a disgrace to S toam
hats [Music] Railway next day Thomas was feeling more
cheerful as he watched Percy bring his cars from the junction the cars were heavy and Percy
was
tired have a drink said his driver then you'll feel
better the water column stood at the end of the siding with the unsafe
[Music] buffers suddenly Percy found that he couldn't stop the buffers didn't stop
him either oh wailed Percy help the buffers were broken and Percy
was Wheel deep in coold it was time for Thomas to leave he
had seen everything now Percy has learned his lesson too he
chuckled to
[Applause] himself that night the two engines made
up their quarrel I didn't cause your accident on purpose Thomas whispered
pery you do know that don't you of course replied Tom thas and I'm
sorry I teased you your green paint looks Splendid again
too in future we'll both be more careful of
coal so that lets out Skylark Al and cuckoo is there anyone else to
ask blue jay surely you just you know what blue jay is the bully of the
neighborhood you don't really think he'd offer to help the early birds do you all right I'll ask him but he'll
never do it blue jays as mean as as mean as that
[Music] diesel Stephanie's visit to Sir toam Hat's Railway was coming to an
end we shall miss you said sir topam hat then he turned his attention to all the
other engines my Railway is very busy and I'm pleased with you but you need help a diesel was all that's available
please do your best to avoid any uh disturbances what does that mean
whispered duck that means this diesel is difficult snapped
James and he was the diesel surveyed the
shed not bad I've seen worse at least you're all [Music]
clean the engines glared it's not your fault but satpam hat should scrap you
and get engines like me a fill of oil a touch on the starter and I'm off no bother no waiting they have to fuss
around you for hours before you're ready the engines were
Furious next morning they held an indignation meeting around the turntable
disgraceful disgusting
despicable to say such things to us cried Donald and Douglas it's to teach
him a lesson we'd be wanting now how do we do it their chance came sooner than
expected the diesel was purring comfortably and inspector watched a
fitter making final adjustments the wind tugged at the inspector's hat the diesel was ready look at me duck
and Stephanie now I'll show you something he rolled proudly toward his
coaches then it [Applause]
happened shaking and spluttering the diesel
stopped meanwhile the inspector was looking for his hat the diesel seeed
with Fury as duck and Stephanie pushed him back to the shed my hat exclaimed the inspector you
sucked it through your air intake bother your
hat the heavy trains do out you'll have to take it duck Stephanie will you help
please thank you sir cried Stephanie I'd like a good long run on my last
day the engines were soon ready Gordon will take over from halfway so get the
train to there good luck don't worry smiled Stephanie we'll get there and be
early too the cavalcade moved carefully over
the rails and out to the open line now for a Sprint puffed
Stephanie I'm ready when you are replied
duck soon they were whizzing through Edward [Applause] [Music]
station and next they charged at Gordon's Hill Beyond
[Music] they felt the drag of the heavy coaches
here it was hard
work at last they were running smoothly along the line toward the big [Music]
station hello you're said Gordon that's one in the headlamp for old diesel James
says he's sick as boiler sludge and sulking in the shed serves him right for saying we're out of date and Gordon
chortled away next day everyone Came to Say
Goodbye to Stephanie come back and see us soon whistled the engines and you are always
welcome on my Bluebell Railway too replied Stephanie then he puffed
away what about diesel he'd slipped out while no one was looking but he left two
things behind a rather nasty smell and a battered bowler
hat just listen to that everyone we asked showed up to help the early birds
fine Feathered Friends that's what I call them there's a lesson in this for
all of us I just can't think of what it is

sun to a shining Time Station where Dreams
Come waiting [Music]
there Missy did you ever wake up on an ordinary morning and wish it wasn't just another ordinary morning well this
morning I did I said to myself self I'm tired of coming home to the same old
front door every day it's time for something new and different adventure and
excitement I'm going to paint the door a different color but what color H not red
and green stripes for sure because of what happened to Henry the Green Engine remember
[Music] that once an engine attached to a train
was afraid of a few drops of rain [Music]
it went into a tunnel and squeaked through its funnel and wouldn't come out
[Music]
again the engine's name is Henry his driver and firemen argued with him but
he would not move [Music]
the rain will spoil my lovely green paint and red stripes he
said the conductor blew his whistle till he had no more breath and waved his flag
till his arms achd but Henry still stayed in the tunnel and blew steam at
him I'm not going to spoil my lovely green paint and red stripes for
you then Along Came sopam hat the man in charge of all the engines on the island
of [Music]
Sodor we will pull you out said sir toam hat but Henry only blew steam at
him everyone pulled except Sir Topham hat because he said my doctor has
forbidden me to pull but still Henry stayed in the T
then they tried pushing from the other end so toam hat said 1 2 3
[Music] push but he didn't help my doctor has
forbidden me to push he said they pushed and pushed and pushed but still Henry
stayed in the tunnel at last Thomas came came along
the conductor waved his red flag and stopped him everyone argued with Henry
look it has stopped raining they said yes but it will begin again soon
said Henry and what would become of my green paint with red stripes [Music]
then Thomas pushed and puffed and pushed as hard as ever he
could but still Henry stayed in the
tunnel eventually even sir toam hat gave up we shall take away your rails he said
and leave you here until you're ready to come out of the
tunnel they took up the old rails and built a wall in front of Henry so that other engines wouldn't bump into him
[Music]
all Henry could do was to watch the trains rushing through the other
tunnel he was very sad because he thought no one would ever see his lovely green paint with red stripes
again as time went on Edward and Gordon would often pass
by Edward would say beep beep [Music]
hello and Gordon would say serves you
right poor Henry had no steam to answer his fire had gone
out soot and dirt from the tunnel had spoiled his lovely green paint and red Stripes
anyway how long do you think Henry will stay in the tunnel before he overcomes his fear of the rain and decides to
Journey out again I don't know something's wrong
here I usually like green reminds me of Springtime it's the color of leaves and
grass but this particular green is the color of fish not that I have anything
against fish some of my best friends are fish it's just that after what happened to Henry did I ever tell you about Henry
and the fish on starry nights when the moon is
full and the air still you can hear the sounds of far away ships and distant laughter they Echo over the hills and
through the valley down calm canals and sleepy inlets every engine knows that
these are the sounds that say the harbor is hard at work at the big station by the sea
one night a special load of fish was ordered sir toam hat decided that extra Vans must be added to the train that the
men call the flying [Music] kipper the only Vans available were old
ones they had not been used for a long [Music]
time Henry waited impatiently by the key side as duck shunted them into
position Thomas puffed by with the mail [Music]
train Hello Duck going fishing I'd take care if I were you why Huff duck well
for one thing puffed Thomas remembering his own experience if fish get into an engine's boiler they always cause
trouble and for another fish can be awfully smelly and I know what I'm talking about
good
night Henry grunted dreadfully you'll just have to put up
with it Henry said his driver at least the extra load will mean you can have another engine help us up Gordon's
[Music]
Hill
[Music] meanwhile duck was waiting at Edward's station so that he could help the heavy
train by pushing from [Music]
behind Henry made good
progress when they reached Edward station his driver stopped the train beyond the
[Music] platform then Henry gave a special signal beep beep beep beep I need help
please beep beep replied duck I won't be long duck buffered gently up to Henry's
train he was not coupled on Henry would then be able to run on without stopping
when they reached the top of the hill ready duck and off they
[Music]
[Music]
went soon they reached Gordon's Hill push hard push hard puffed Henry we're
doing it we're doing it replied duck Henry was pulling his train harder
than he realized [Music]
duck felt the weight on his buffer slacking then duck noticed something else there's no sign of a tail lamp he
puffed he whistled but there was no reply meanwhile Henry had noticed something too my Train's getting heavier
he thought to himself I'm slowing down then there was [Music]
trouble [Music]
no one was hurt but a strong smell of fish hung in the [Music]
air next day Workman found the broken tail lamp at the bottom of the
hill sir toam hat spoke kindly to duck the accident wasn't your fault we should
have checked that this tail lamp was fixed on properly we'll soon have you in working order
again thank you sir said duck sadly Thomas told me to be careful about fish
they got me in a right pickle didn't they what do you
think I'm not sure the color blue might make some people feel a little blue I
wouldn't want my friends to get the blues when they come to visit I once met a man who said there was no blue food so
maybe I should try for something more appetizing what's a color you can
eat I know [Music]
orange Gordon was cross why should Henry have a new shape he grumbled a shape
good enough for me is good enough for him he goes gallivanting off leaving us to do his work and comes back saying how
happy he feels it's disgraceful and there's another thing
Henry whistles too much no respect able engine ever whistles loudly at stations
it isn't wrong but we just don't do it poor Henry didn't feel happy anymore
never mind whispered Percy I'm glad you're home again I like your whistling
goodbye Henry called Gordon we're glad to have you with us again but remember what I
said later Henry stopped at Edwards station hello Henry said Edward you look
Splendid I was pleased to hear your happy whistle yesterday thank you Edward smiled
Henry sh can you hear something it sounds like Gordon said Edward and it
ought to be Gordon but Gordon never whistled like that it was Gordon he came rushing down
the hill at a tremendous rate he didn't look at Henry and he didn't look at Edward he screamed straight through the
station and disappeared well said Edward it isn't wrong chuckled
Henry but we just don't do it and he told Edward what Gordon had
said meanwhile Gordon screeched along the line the noise was
[Music]
awful at the station everyone covered their ears sir toam hat covered his ears
too take him away he bellowed and stopped that
noise Gordon puffed sadly away but he wouldn't stop whistling until two
Fitters climbed up and knocked his whistle valve in
place that night Gordon slunk into the shed he was glad it was
empty it isn't wrong murmured Henry to no one
in particular but we just don't do it no one mentioned
whistles next morning Henry was enjoying himself enormously I feel so well I feel
so well he sang Tricky Tru tricky Tru hummed his coaches then he saw some boys on a
bridge beep beep hello he whistled oh he called the boys didn't
wave and take his number they thought it fun to drop stones on him instead they've broken our glass they've broken
our glass cried the coaches the passengers weren't hurt but
they were cross call the police no said the driver leave it to Henry and me what
will you do they asked Can You Keep a Secret yes yes well then said the driver
Henry is going to sneeze at those those [Music]
boys lots of people were waiting at the station just before the bridge they wanted to see what would
happen Henry has plenty of Ashes said the driver please keep all windows shut till we've pass the bridge Henry's as
excited as we are aren't you old fellow Henry felt more stuffed up than
excited soon they could see the boys and they all had stones are you ready Henry said the
driver sneeze hard when I tell you now he
said Well Done Henry laughed his driver Henry went home hoping that next
time he saw Gordon and the boys they would have learned not to be so
mean there doesn't that have a nice circus tenty sort of look of course the
trouble with having a circus tenty looking front door is that it might attract elephants and then where are you
I mean I've got nothing against elephants and I know that some of your best friends are elephants but they are
such picky eaters and they do have a tendency to but here I'll show
[Music] you Thomas the Tank Engine puffed happily along his Branch line with Annie
and clarabel Sir toam hat was waiting on the
platform he looked at his watch well done Thomas you are right on time and
really reliable thank you sir whistled Thomas ooh right on time and really
reliable hummed the coaches but the big engines were not feeling cheerful at all
where's Percy mumbled Henry he's supposed to fetch our coaches we get no rest complained
James he edged angrily onto the turntable and spoke rudely to Henry what's the matter Henry there's no
rain today stop worrying and do some work instead I'm not afraid of getting
wet anymore Huff Henry Anyway You Look Silly enough to be a clown you should join the circus oh whistled Percy so
you've heard the news what news about the circus Percy what are you talking about
the circus has arrived explained Percy I've been shunting special cars sir toam hat needs your help
too the engine soon forgot to be tired and cross
until it was time for the circus to leave then Gordon and Henry were cross all over again when James got to pull
the train [Music]
away a little later sir toam hat returned come along Henry a tunnel is
blocked down the line you must take some workmen to investigate
pushing cars pushing cars grumbled
Henry they stopped outside the tunnel the Workman went
inside it was very dark and quiet but not for
[Music] long help shouted the workmen and they
ran [Music] out we started to dig at the Block but
it grunted and moved one said rubbish said the foreman it's not rubbish it's
big and Alive we're not going in there again right said the foreman I'll ride
in the cars and Henry shall push it out said Henry unhappily he had been
shut in the tunnel for being afraid of the rain but this was worse something big and Alive was inside
Peep Peep I don't want to go in neither do I said his driver but we must clear
the line oh dear oh dear puffed
Henry then there was trouble the block was indeed alive and very strong it
began to push the train backwards out of the tunnel came Henry then the cars and
last of all a large cross
elephant well I never cried the foreman the Workman gave him some
cake he drank three buckets of water and was just about to drink another when
Henry let off steam cried the elephant water went all over Henry
poor [Music] Henry the elephant and his keeper were
soon reunited but Henry was most upset an elephant pushed me an elephant HED
me that night he told the other engines all about it Gordon and James felt sorry
for Henry but still teased him first the rain then an elephant whatever will you
be afraid of next never mind Henry murmured Thomas I think you were Brave today and really reliable
too I don't think so polka dots just aren't me somehow I'm more the waltz DOT
type maybe this door painting wasn't such a good idea after all remember the
unfortunate effect a new paint job hat on
Percy one morning Percy was impatient he was wearing a new coat of paint and
longed for everyone to see it the other engines were still dozing but not Percy driver should be here by
now what's he doing sleeping grunted Gordon but that means I'll be late the
coaches will be waiting and the passengers will get cross rubbish huffed Henry it's still
early added James you just want to show off no I don't never mind mind Percy
said Thomas it'll soon be time for work but be careful or you might run into danger and Duke is not here to save you
duke stuttered Toby you mean our hero a large painting of Duke hung in the
engine shed the very same said Thomas Driver told me the story listen and this
is the story Thomas told them long ago when Peter Sam was still called Stewart
and Sir handle falcon they worked with Duke on his Old Railway but Falcon still had a lot to
learn the manager came to see him Falcon I'm pleased with your work so far now
you must learn a difficult part of the line we call it the Mountain Road Falcon
was excited yes please sir so tomorrow when you have a new coat of paint you
will go on it Duke will explain everything huh thought Falcon Duke's an
old fuss pot next day came listen warned Duke the Mountain
Road is difficult I'll lead no replied Falton I'll lead how can I learn the
route with you lumbering ahead and blocking the view suit yourself said Duke but never mind the view look at the
track the engine set off look at the track puff Duke never
mind The View fusspot fuss poot replied Falcon fuddy duddy fdy duddy fdy
duddy the engine speed grew slower and slower don't dawle don't dawle urged
Falcon no hurry no hurry Huff
Duke soon they approached the tunnel Falcon didn't like the tunnel it was
curved and he couldn't see I want to get out I want to get out he
sighed one moment everything seemed safe but then
suddenly Falcon was derailed and hung dangerously over the
edge Duke bravely held on with all his strength stop shaking he called I can't
hold you if you shake Duke's driver and firemen worked
quickly to make the two engines safe again then came more trouble water cried
Duke's fireman Duke needs water quickly luckily there was a workman's Cottage nearby soon everyone was passing jugs
buckets kettles and sauce band filled with water until Duke's thirst was quenched all the while Duke was building
more strength at last with everyone's help he was able to pull Falcon back onto the
[Music] rails then they started off once
[Music]
more the manager was waiting at the top station he apologized for the accident your Duke
said the passengers is a hero he stood firm like a bulldog and wouldn't let
go Falcon was grateful too thank you for saving me Duke I don't know why you
bothered after I'd been so rude oh well replied Duke you just had a new coat of
paint it would have been a Pity if you'd roll down the mountain and spoiled [Music]
