- [Storyteller] In summer,
the island of Sodor gleams
in the sun and every station
is filled with flowers.
Percy had been working at the
docks all day and was tired
of the smell of fish.
"Whew, come on Percy."
said his driver.
"Time to go home."
"Please sir, can I have
a wash down first?"
"Sorry Percy, there isn't time.
Sir Topham Hatt is waiting
for us at the sheds."
"There is to be a festival
of flowers." announced
Sir Topham Hatt.
"This sign saying 'Best Dressed
Station' will be awarded
to the winner.
Please help with
the arrangements."
The engines were excited.
"My favorite station is
Ffarquar." said Thomas.
"Mine is Maithwaite." said Toby.
"Percy, what's yours?"
Percy was too tired
to think properly.
"The docks." he murmured.
"Hah!" sniffed Thomas.
"We can tell."
Toby laughed, "The docks are
full of fish, not flowers."
"Alright then, Arlesdale End."
"That's my home!" replied Toby.
"That's why I like it,
especially when you're there
and not here saying I'm silly."
"Goodnight."
Next morning, Percy was
proud to be sparkly again.
His train of freight cars were
being loaded with vegetables
and flowers.
"These are for Maithwaite."
said his driver.
"They'll display them
on the platform."
On the way, Percy saw Harold.
"Why is Harold buzzing
about?" he puffed.
"I haven't time
for a race today."
"What's that?" said his driver.
"Why bless me, it's a ram."
"Now we'll be late.
I should've known
that Harold was trying
to tell us something."
(ram bleating)
"I've got just the ticket
to get him off the track."
cried the fireman.
"Food."
He found some cabbage leaves.
The ram chomped happily away.
(chewing)
(train whistiling)
"Please can we go now?"
(ram bleating)
When Percy arrived at the
station, his driver told
the station master
what had happened.
"I've heard about this ram.
He's always hungry."
A little while later, the
station was decked with flowers.
"Maithwaite will definitely win
first prize." decided Percy.
He left his coaches and went
to a sighting where no one
could see him.
"(yawns) Time for a
snooze." he thought.
But it wasn't.
(crashing sounds)
"We better see what all
that noise is about."
said his driver.
Percy was shocked.
Flowers were
scattered everywhere.
"It's that ram.
He's made a meal of
the station too."
Then there was trouble.
"We can't get into the waiting
room." the passengers cried.
"Why not?" asked
the station master.
"The ram won't let us."
Everyone looked at the ram
and the ram looked at them.
(ram bleating)
"He's not alone!"
exclaimed Percy's driver.
"Let us out!" begged the boys.
"We're sorry!"
"Well look at that."
Said the station master.
"The boys are the
culprits, not the ram.
He was just making sure
they did no more damage."
"We thought it would
be fun, but it wasn't.
We'll put everything back."
A few days later, Sir
Topham Hatt invited some of
the engines to Maithwaite,
winner of the "Best
Dressed Station" award.
"I'm sorry Toby."
whispered Percy.
"You made the right choice."
Then Sir Topham Hatt
made an announcement.
"There is one more prize for
our good friend, the ram.
Here it is.
And I'll eat my hat
if you don't like it."
Then Harold landed.
The wind from his blades blew
Sir Topham Hatt's hat off.
(ram bleating)
"Well, seems I wouldn't be
able to eat my hat even if
I had to."
Everyone laughed and the
only sound from the ram
was a contented hiccup.
