Hello, Nia.
Is something wrong?
- Oh, hi, Edward.
I'm looking for a covered car.
I left it here
when I went to get refueled,
and when I came back,
it was gone.
[laughter]
- Oh, all right, Bill and Ben,
where have you hidden
Nia's car?
- Don't ask me. [laughs]

Have you ever played a game
that got out of hand?
Sometimes a game
can stop being fun
or even hurt someone's
feelings.
One time, Diesel
played a trick on Paxton
by getting all the diesels
to hide from him.
Paxton was very upset
and thought all the diesels
had left the island.
Another time, I was racing
with Max and Monty.
It was good fun.
Until they took the game
too far.
They raced
over the railway line
and could have caused an
accident.
Bill and Ben thought their
game of Hunt the Car
was very funny
until they were the ones
who couldn't find their car.
Edward was trying to teach them
that it's not a good game
unless everyone who's playing
can enjoy it.
- Come on, Thomas!
- It's time to go.
- See you next time!
