- [Narrator] Bill and the

Ben, the t*nk engine twins,

work in the clay mines and

quarries near Brendam Docks.

Their work is important,

but it can be hot and dirty.

Sometimes this makes

the twins naughty.

One morning they were

feeling very naughty indeed.

"That's my line of

cars," huffed Bill.

"It's not, it's

mine," snorted Ben.

"Yours is over there."

"It's mine."

"It's not."

"It's mine!"

"It's not!"

Their friend BoCo was worried.

"Stop quarreling you two, or

the only thing you'll have left

"to share is

(trains chug)

(crashes)

"trouble!"

"Silly," snapped Bill.

"Silly yourself," grumbled Ben.

"Bill and Ben, behave

yourselves," said

Sir Topham Hatt.

"It's clear to me that we need

another diesel to help out."

"There is only one available.

"He's new and keen to

make an impression."

"If I were you," whispered BoCo.

"I'd get back to

work right away."

(suspenseful music)

Meanwhile, Sir Topham

Hatt was having doubts

about his own decision.

"I hope the new diesel doesn't

cause even more confusion.

"He's bound to have

teething troubles."

And he was right.

(cheerful music)

"Oh my grease and oil!

"I wasn't expecting this hill!

(cheerful music)

"Oh, what's that?"

(cheerful music)

(whistle blows)

BoCo came to the rescue.

"Sorry," said the diesel.

"I'm all hot and bothered.

"I've got teething

troubles, you know."

The news soon spread.

"Apparently it's

teething troubles,"

confided Thomas to Percy.

(playful music)

"Hey, you two.

"This new diesel's got

a toothache, good luck!"

"Why does Percy wanna wish

us good luck," asked Bill.

"Because he knows we'll need it.

"A diesel with a toothache must

be the worst diesel of all."

Then their manager

spoke to them.

"You will take your

loads to the docks

"and rest there tonight.

"There's a lot of hard

work to do tomorrow."

(cheerful music)

It was dark when the

twins reached the docks.

They left the freight

cars by the quay

and scurried off to the shed.

(trains chugging)

"You do look glum," sighed Duck.

"It's the new diesel's

fault," replied Bill.

"He's got a toothache."

"He hasn't got a toothache.

"He's got teething troubles.

"That means he's new, and

this causes some problems.

"In his case, it's

his cooling system."

(train whistle blows)

Next morning, the twins

heard an unfamiliar whistle.

"Oh no, it's the new diesel."

(train whistle blows)

And it was.

(train chugging)

"Hello, I'll soon

sort this train out.

"You take the front, and

I'll push from behind.

"(laughing) What fun!"

(playful music)

All went well as they set off.

(train whistle blows)

(cheerful music)

Then they came to a hill.

"Come on, come on!

"Push harder you silly

diesel," shouted Ben.

But the diesel couldn't

push any harder.

(cheerful music)

"(pants) I'm overheating again."

(playful music)

(whistle blows)

"Oh paw," snorted Bill.

"(sighs) You know what,"

sighed the driver.

"Let's try and finish

the journey anyway.

"It means we'll have to

pull the diesel as well.

"Can you do it, twins?"

(train whistle blows)

"We'll try!"

(playful music)

And sure enough, they could.

(cheerful music)

That night, Sir Topham

Hatt came to see them.

"Well done, Bill and Ben.

"I've sent the new

diesel back to the works.

"Can you manage alone?"

"Oh yes sir!

"BoCo," whispered Bill.

"I'm sorry we were rude to you."

"And," added Ben.

"The new diesel was

really quite friendly!"

"And you know what friends

do," murmured Duck.

"No, what?"

"They always say good

night to each other."

And so they did, but they

still chatted about the diesel

and his teething

troubles all night long.
