- [George] Bill and Ben are
the most mischievous engines
working on Sir Topham
Hatt's Railway.
They're kept busy
pushing and pulling cars
up and down the
line that runs from
the China Clayworks
to the harbor yard.
They like to have fun together,
and often play tricks
on the workmen.
But sometimes their teasing
ways can get them into trouble.
One morning Sir Topham
Hatt came to see them.
Important goods have
arrived in the big yard,
Bill and Ben, I need to you
to help the other engines.
Oh yes, of course,
Sir, replied the twins.
They set off happily on
their important mission.
BoCo was resting in
the yard when suddenly
he heard a pair of
familiar whistles.
Mmmm, sighed BoCo,
here comes trouble.
Sir Topham Hatt told us you
were tired, teased Bill,
he asked us to take
all your cars for you!
You two never stop, do you?
But I'm wise to your pranks,
and we do need help here.
The twins were soon busy
pushing and pulling the
heavy cars into place.
(industrious music)
At last, the day's
work was done.
They twins now became excited,
they were going to use the
turntable for the first time.
Bill went first.
This is fun! He shrieked to Ben.
He didn't want to
move off at all.
The foreman stopped
the turntable.
Please make way for the
other engines, he ordered.
Bill did so, but the
foreman had accidentally
stopped the turntable
in the wrong place.
Bill was on the wrong track,
and there was Ben puffing
directly toward him!
The engines came
to a grinding halt.
They gazed grimly at each other.
I was here first, said Bill!
But you're in my
way, protested Ben.
You'll have to back up again!
I won't!
You will!
I won't!
Sit Topham Hatt came
to stop the noise.
If you don't behave, I shall
not allow you here again.
The next day Ben
was still grumpy.
That Bill, imagine getting
in my way on the turntable.
He's a really silly engine!
The way I heard it, signed BoCo,
it sounded like you
were both to blame.
You must have
heard it all wrong!
The twins grumbled about
each other all day.
(train chugs)
Even kind Edward lost patience.
All this grumbling spreads
bad atmosphere in the yard.
You're quite right,
and that's why I've
come up with a plan.
BoCo whispered his
plan to Edward.
Then his driver told
Sir Topham Hatt.
I'll start making
arrangements right away.
The next morning he called
Bill and Ben into the yard.
BoCo is taking a special
train to the harbor,
his regular heavy goods train
is waiting on the siding,
you can pull it together.
But!
Protested Bill and Ben,
who were still not
speaking to each other.
Good, I knew I could
rely on you two.
I'll take the train
myself, huffed Ben.
Go right ahead, said Bill.
Ben was coupled up to the
train of freight cars,
but they were too heavy
for him to move alone.
(train chugs)
Go on, teased Bill!
I can't, said Ben!
Then suddenly,
both twins laughed.
I don't think we'll take turns
this time Ben, said Bill.
I think we'd better
pull together.
Ben was delighted, it was
good to be helping each other.
Best of all, it was good
to be friends again.
