04x07 - Peter Sam & the Refreshment Lady

[bunniefuu]

(bright music)

(Thomas and Friends theme)

- [Narrator] Sir Handel

had been naughty,

so Sir Topham Hatt made him

stay in the shed for a while.

Peter Sam was now

busier than ever.

(cheery music)

He had to do Sir Handle's

work as well as his own.

(train whistle)

He was very excited,

and the firemen found

him hard to handle.

"Anyone would think

that he wanted to work!"

said Sir Handel who

was lonely and bored.

"All respectable engines do,"

replied Skarloey.

"Keep calm, Peter Sam,

and you'll do well!"

But Peter Sam was

in such a state

that he couldn't listen.

He collected some coaches

and went on his way.

(cheery music)

But somehow, the

faster he wanted to go,

the slower the journey became.

(train whistle)

When Peter Sam finally

fussed into the station,

Henry was already there.

"This won't do, youngster!"

said Henry.

"I can't be kept waiting.

If you're late tonight,

I'll go off and leave

your passengers behind."

(train whistle)

"Pfft,"

said Peter Sam.

Secretly, he was a little

worried, but not for long.

The conductor blew his whistle

and waved his green flag.

(whistle blowing)

(train whistle)

Peter Sam puffed happily away,

singing a little song.

"I'm Peter Sam, I'm

running this line.

I'm Peter Sam, I'm

running this line."

"What fun it all is,"

he thought as he

journeyed along the line.

(happy music)

The coaches enjoyed

themselves too.

They were growing

fond of Peter Sam.

(serene music)

Every afternoon they

had to wait an hour

at the station by the lake.

The station has a little

shop selling refreshments.

The conductor,

fireman and the guard

buy tea and cakes from

the refreshment lady.

At last, the waiting was over,

and Peter Sam was

sizzling with impatience.

"Beep beep! Hurry up, please!"

he whistled to the passengers.

"How awful,"

he thought,

"if we miss Henry's train."

The conductor was ready

with his flag and whistle.

The refreshment lady was

making her way to the train.

Then it happened.

(chugging sounds)

The conductor says that

Peter Sam was too impatient.

Peter Sam says he was

sure he heard a whistle.

Anyway, he started.

"Stop! Stop! Stop!"

wailed the coaches.

"You've left the

refreshment lady behind!"

"Bother!"

groaned Peter Sam.

"We're sure to miss Henry now!"

The refreshment

lady climbed aboard

and they started again.

(train whistle)

(chugging sounds)

Peter Sam didn't sing anymore.

(cheery music)

Instead, he hurried

along the line

as fast as his wheels and

his driver would let him.

(happy music)

They arrived at the big

station just in time.

"Hurrah!"

said Peter Sam.

He felt very relieved.

"Not bad, youngster,"

said Henry loftily.

But the refreshment

lady was still cross.

"What do you mean by

leaving me behind?"

"I'm sorry, refreshment lady,"

replied Peter Sam.

"but Henry said he

might leave without us."

Then the refreshment

lady laughed.

"You silly engine.

Henry was teasing you.

He wouldn't have gone

without our passengers.

He's a guaranteed connection!"

"Well,"

said Peter Sam,

"where's that Henry?"

But Henry had chortled away.

(mischievous music)
