Have you ever had
to help an animal?
Back on Sodor, my friends have
often helped animals in need.
Like when Philip had
to stop Gordon
because the sheep were
in danger on the line,
or when Diesel helped
a family of ducklings
get back to their pond.
In the rainforest,
I wasn't very sensitive
to the animals at first.
I kept forgetting
not to be too noisy
and to move around carefully.
But when the bushfire started,
I helped to rescue them.
I learned that animals should
be protected and respected.
After all, they share our home
here on planet Earth.
So if you're a duckling,
a sheep,
or a funny little bear--
[giggling] I mean, a koala--
don't worry.
I'll always keep a place
for you on my coaches.

- It's time to go.
