- [Narrator] It was an icy

day on the island of Sodor.

The engines were

working very hard.

They didn't mind the cold

because they had

toasting hot fireboxes

to keep them warm.

(cheerful music)

(train whistle)

(train chugging)

That evening Sir Toppham

Hat came to the sheds.

"There's a big freeze

coming tonight," he said.

"James and Percy are

to deliver extra coal

"to the stations."

"Yes, sir," they said eagerly

and Sir Toppham Hat drove away.

"You better hurry,"

teased Thomas,

"or scary Jack Frost

might get you."

"Who's Jack Frost?"

Percy whistled nervously.

"Don't be so silly,"

sniffed James,

"Jack Frost is not scary."

"Yes he is," teased Thomas.

"He is all white with

a big spiky face."

"Rubbish," said James.

James knew Jack

Frost wasn't scary.

Poor Percy wasn't so sure.

(suspenseful music)

(owl hooting)

Percy shivered, "Jack

Frost is not scary.

"Jack Frost is not scary.

"Jack Frost is not scary."

(suspenseful music)

Meanwhile, James

popped along his route.

"Silly Percy," he thought,

"All steamed up

over Jack Frost."

(train chugging)

Percy made his last delivery.

The stationmaster was

very pleased to see him.

"Oh, Percy," he cried,

"We need twice as much coal

to last through this freeze."

"Don't worry," Percy said,

"This is my last stop.

You can have mine."

"So Percy's driver

parked him in a siding

with only a lantern for company.

"Do you think scary Jack Frost

will find me?" said Percy.

(suspenseful music)

"Jack Frost is not scary,"

chuckled his driver.

"And don't worry.

"Elizabeth will bring you some

more coal in the morning."

And then his driver and

fireman went home to bed.

(wind howling)

Late at night, the

icy wind howled.

It started to snow.

(wind howling)

Soon Percy's face was so cold

an icicle hung from his nose.

"Oh, b-b-b-b-bother,"

Percy stuttered.

But it didn't sound like Percy.

It was so cold, he could

hardly make a sound.

(wind howling)

At last James was on his

way back to the sheds.

In the fog, he saw shadows

and strange and scary shapes.

"Scary Jack Frost," he

whispered nervously,

"Bah!"

(train whistle)

(mysterious music)

"Hello, J-J-J-James?"

muttered Percy, icily.

"Scary Jack Frost!" cried James,

and he raced away as fast as

his wheels could carry him.

He didn't stop until he

got back to the sheds.

The next morning, Elizabeth

brought plenty of coal.

"Oh, my dear," Elizabeth

chuffed to Percy,

"It looks like Jack

Frost really got you."

The fire lighter

started Percy's fire.

Soon his ice mask melted away.

(wonderous music)

"So scary Jack Frost is only

frost," tooted Percy, happily.

Soon he was as warm as toast.

(high pitched train whistle)

When Percy arrived at the

sheds, James was bragging

to the other engines.

"I saw scary Jack Frost

last night," James huffed,

"He even knows my name."

"He also knows that you

ran away," teased Percy.

And all the engines

whistled, including James.

But Percy's was the

loudest whistle of all.
