07x19 - Bulgy Rides Again

Post by bunniefuu »

(upbeat playful music)

- [Narrator] In the summertime,

there was no better place to be

than the Island of Sodor.

(whistle blows)

The engines are happy

to show vacationers

the wonderful sights to be seen.

But this year,

there was a problem.

Thomas and Emily were in

the foundry for repairs.

"I need to find a way to

carry more passengers,"

grumbled Sir Topham Hatt.

"We have more vacationers."

"And fewer engines," said Emily.

"A double decker

problem," added Thomas.

"A double decker problem, hmm."

This gave Sir

Topham Hatt an idea.

He drove straight

to Bulgy's Field.

(horn beeps)

Bulgy is a double decker bus.

He was turned into a henhouse

after he caused

a silly accident.

(crumbling)

"Good news, Bulgy.

"I'm putting you

back on the road."

"Thank you, sir.

"I'll be the best bus ever."

Bulgy never liked being

a henhouse anyway.

The next day, he

went to the foundry.

"Bulgy!" exclaimed Thomas.

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm being repaired.

"I'm going back on the road."

"I think you'll be helping

the new farmer", said Emily.

"He needs to deliver his

vegetables around the island."

"Vegetables, hmph.

"I'm going to carry passengers."

Soon, Bulgy was

refitted inside and out.

He looked smart and shiny.

Even James was impressed.

"Ooh!"

When Bulgy returned

to his field,

the hens thought their

old house looked splendid.

"We'll start in the

morning," said his driver.

"You'll stay here tonight."

Bulgy was soon fast asleep.

But the hens missed

their old home.

One by one, they crept aboard.

And went to sleep in

the luggage racks.

Bulgy knew nothing.

The next morning, Bulgy

picked up lots of passengers.

"All aboard!" he tooted.

And set off for the station.

He was driving so smoothly

that the hens didn't wake up.

(whistle blows)

All was well, until

Bulgy turned a corner.

Trevor was pulling a hay cart.

(horn beeps)

"Get out of my way!"

(horn beeps)

He overtook Trevor.

Bulgy swerved.

The hens woke up.

The passengers panicked.

And Bulgy's driver lost control.

The hens were frightened.

They flapped, they squawked.

"Stop!" cried

Bulgy's passengers.

"We want to get off!"

The passengers were covered

in feathers and broken eggs.

They were very cross.

"This bus is full of

hens," they complained.

"We shall tell Sir Topham Hatt."

"It's not my fault,"

sulked Bulgy.

(horn beeps)

Sir Topham Hatt sent

Bulgy to be cleaned.

"Silly hens, silly passengers.

"You can have them both."

"The farmer still needs

help with his vegetables,"

said Emily.

"A vegetable bus?

"Hmm, that's not

such a bad idea."

"And we're back carrying

passengers," smiled Thomas.

Bulgy is happy now.

He has new green paint work

and a smart serving hatch.

Sir Topham Hatt

agreed he could become

the island's only

vegetable stand on wheels.

(whistle blows)

Bulgy likes carrying vegetables.

They don't lay eggs

and they never complain.
