[narrator reading title]

Hiro is one of the strongest engines on the Island of Sodor.

But he'’s also very polite and kind.

[duck quacking]

[train whistling]

After you, Thomas.

Looks like you need a wash.

Thank you, Hiro.

[train whistling]

[narrator] One morning, Diesel was shunting

some Troublesome Trucks in the yard.

[laughing]

Now get in line, you silly trucks, and stay still.

[train whistling]

[narrator] Edward had delivered trucks of milk,

butter, and cheese for Hiro to collect.

Right, now it'’s your turn.

Stop biffing the trucks, Diesel!

You'’re spilling the milk.

It'’s the only way to get these Troublesome Trucks

to do what you want, Edward.

So mind your own business.

Oh.

[train whistling]

[narrator] A little later, Hiro arrived.

Good morning, Diesel.

Good morning, trucks.

[trucks laughing]

Oh, Hiro, don'’t be such a Mr. Nice Engine.

These trucks are nothing but troublesome,

and you need to show them who'’s boss.

[loud bang]

Ow

No, Diesel, these trucks are no trouble.

I am master of the railway.

[narrator] Hiro collected the trucks and puffed away.

[whistles]

[train whistling]

But he didn'’t know that Diesel had already spilled the milk.

It wasn'’t long before the trucks

started to become troublesome.

[trucks laughing]

Biff and bash, biff and bash!

[Hiro laughing]

You can try and be troublesome little trucks,

but I am master of the railway.

[narrator] The Troublesome Trucks made Hiro

bump and judder.

But he just kept puffing,

all the way to Knapford Station.

Where Sir Topham Hatt was waiting for him.

At last, the supplies for the cafeteria.

[narrator] The men worked to unload bread,

and butter, and cheese.

Let'’s not forget the milk.

[narrator] But when Sir Topham Hatt opened the door

to the milk truck...

the milk poured out.

No, no, my trousers!

Oh. sir, I'’m so sorry, sir.

I-I-I don'’t know what happened.

But the Troublesome Trucks have been very troublesome today.

I hope you will be more careful on your next job, Hiro.

Yes, sir. I will, sir.

And it looks like my next job

will be to get my trousers cleaned.

[narrator] Hiro felt very bad about what had happened

to Sir Topham Hatt'’s trousers.

Later, as Hiro was picking up more cream and butter

at Brendam Docks, he saw Diesel again.

What'’s the matter, Hiro?

Oh, Diesel, while I was delivering Troublesome Trucks

this morning, Sir Topham Hatt opened the truck door

and milk spilled out all over his trousers.

I feel so ashamed.

[Diesel laughing] See? I told you trucks were trouble.

You should have shown them who'’s boss

and given them a biff.

No, Diesel, biffing the trucks is never the right way.

It is always best to be polite and kind.

[train whistling]

[narrator] Hiro was coupled up to the Troublesome Trucks.

But Diesel was cross.

He thought Hiro should listen to him.

One day he'’ll learn.

[narrator] Then Diesel had a very naughty idea.

Instead of adding a brake van to Hiro'’s train,

he was coupled up to the end of the line

of Troublesome Trucks.

[train whistling]

[narrator] Hiro puffed away,

pulling the Troublesome Trucks and Diesel with him.

Hiro'’s trucks were biffing and bashing as he went.

[trucks laughing]

Biff and bash, biff and bash!

[narrator] Hiro was still polite and gentle.

But he hadn'’t noticed that Diesel

had been coupled to his train.

I'’ll show Hiro what Troublesome Trucks can do.

[narrator] The next time Hiro puffed up the hill,

Diesel put on his brakes to help the trucks go slowly.

[tires screech]

[Troublesome Trucks giggle] Hold back! Hold back!

[narrator] Hiro is a very strong engine...

but Diesel is strong too.

And Hiro had to puff very hard

to get to the top of the hill!

When they came down the other side,

Diesel helped the trucks to go as fast as they could.

[Troublesome Trucks giggle] Faster! Faster! Faster!

[narrator] The Troublesome Trucks were having fun!

Wow! What'’s going on ?

[narrator] Hiro had never known these trucks to be so troublesome!

Although he still didn'’t say anything.

Be polite and kind.

Remember... you are the Master of the Railway.

[narrator] This made Diesel even more cross.

[Trucks laughing]

-Stop that! -[Trucks laughing]

Biff and bash! Biff and bash!

Right! That'’s it! No more, Mr. Nice Engine!

I am Master of the Railway!

[tires screech]

That will show you!

[narrator] Hiro stopped so suddenly,

that three big barrels of cream flew into the air...

Not again!

[narrator] ...and splattered all over Sir Topham Hatt...

and Edward...

and Hiro.

My trousers!

Oh, no!

[narrator] Sir Topham Hatt was covered in cream,

he was very cross indeed.

Hiro! You have caused confusion and delay!

And terrible trouble to my trousers!

I'’m so, so sorry, Sir...

[narrator] Diesel tried to sneak away...

[Thomas whistles]

...but Thomas pulled up behind him.

Diesel! Where are you going?

Hiro, why was Diesel pushing you and your Troublesome Trucks?

Diesel! Was it you?

Were you the one biffing and bashing me?

And he spilled your milk this morning, Hiro!

Diesel!

Um... sorry.

I am very disappointed in you, Diesel.

You must learn the proper way to look after Troublesome Trucks.

But, Sir! Uh, yes, Sir!

And the best engine to learn from is Hiro!

Yes, Sir.

[narrator] Hiro was very proud.

Hiro worked with Diesel

to help him learn how to deal with Troublesome Trucks.

[giggling]

-I'’ll show ya! -No, Diesel!

You must be polite and kind.

And one day you might also be

a Master of the Railway!

[laughs sheepishly] Nice trucks!

-Good trucks! -[laughs]

[laughs]
