07x10 - Toby's Windmill

Post by bunniefuu »

(upbeat music)

- [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.

(upbeat music)
