[laughing]

Whoo-hoo!

[engine chugging slows]

Have you ever lost something

really important?

One time, Rajiv lost

the thing that he believed

made him

a very special engine.

[whistle toots]

All aboard for a big adventure!

"Crowning Around."

Ooh, check out my crown!

I'll be royally awesome!

Ooh.

Ahh.

Shiny.

[birds chirping]

[growls]

[growling]

[sighs] Today is going

to be a good day.

Good morning, India!

[both laugh]

Good morning, Thomas!

It's not

a very good morning for me.

I've got icky breaks.

Oh, dear,

that's terrible!

[whistle toots]

Good morning to you all!

Notice anything

different about me?

Um, you've grown a little

taller over night?

You've changed your round

wheels to square wheels?

No!

Check out the crown!

I've had it polished!

See how shiny it is!

[sighs] Maybe you should

concentrate on your jobs

instead of showing off

that crown all the time.

Thank you, Shankar,

but I can get my jobs done

and look gorgeous

at the same time.

[chattering]

[chattering]

[monkeys chattering]

Shoo!

Pesky monkeys.

Today of all days.

Stay away

from my beautiful crown.

-[clanking]

-Ah!

What was that?

-[chattering]

-[yells] My crown!

Give it back.

I need it!

Ooh...

Where did it go?

Where did it go?

My crown!

Disaster...

Disaster...

My crown...

It's... it's... gone!

I'm nothing without it.

-Eww.

-Eww.

Eww.

[birds chirping]

[blows raspberry]

[whimpers]

Oh, I'm useless

without my crown.

It did look great on you,

Rajiv,

but you don't need it.

I do need it,

and I can't do anything

until I've got it back.

What about your jobs?

Not without my crown!

The crown could be anywhere,

Thomas.

-[clanking]

-[whistle blows]

[Thomas]

Ashima and I tried really hardto find Rajiv's crownand do all his jobs, as well.

[chattering]

[whistle toots]

[brakes screeching]

[horn honking]

[Thomas]

We asked everyone and anyoneif they'd seen Rajiv's crown,but it was nowhere to be seen.

[whistle toots]

Shankar, have you seen

Rajiv's crown?

No, I've been too busy

doing all his jobs.

[Ashima] Then it must be

lost for good.

[jangling]

[whistle toots]

-Did you find it?

-No, sorry Rajiv.

We've asked everyone

and looked everywhere.

[yawns]

We're tired, Rajiv.

We've been doing your jobs

as well as our... [yawns]

own.

-[snoring]

-I'm good for nothing

without my crown.

[drowsily]

That's not true, Rajiv.

Yeah, you're...

you're still a very...

[yawning] useful...

Great. Now I've lost my crown

and put everyone to sleep.

-I'm totally useless.

-[horn blaring]

Look out!

I can't stop!

My brakes aren't working!

[gasps]

Shankar! Look out!

-[grunts]

-[muttering]

What's going on?

[yelling]

[brakes grinding]

[grunting]

[sighs]

[sighs]

Phew.

Thank goodness for Rajiv.

Rajiv, thank you.

I... I just reacted.

You needed help so I--

[Shankar] Did you see that?

Rajiv saved me!

You're a hero, Rajiv!

And you did it

without your crown.

I... I guess I did.

[chuckles]

Morning, Rajiv.

How are you feeling

about your crown?

I'm okay.

I would love to have it back,

but I've realized I can be

just as brilliant without it.

[clearing throat]

Rajiv.

I heard about yesterday,

that you were very silly,

and wouldn't do

any of your jobs.

Oh, yes.

Sorry about that,

Charubala, ma'am.

And everyone.

I... I was--

Busy being a hero?

Yes, I heard about that, too.

So it gives me great pleasure

to give you something

equally deserving

of your bravery.

My crown!

You found it!

Thank you.

Thank you!

Don't I look incredible?

Get me back on that railway.

Have you ever lost something

that you thought

you couldn't do without?

Sometimes it can feel like

you'll never be the same.

Percy thoughthis lucky horseshoewas makinggood things happen.But after dropping ithe realized it wasn'tthe lucky charmthat was making hima really useful engine.He was just really useful.Rajiv thought he was uselesswithout his crown.But when he saved Shankar,he realized he didn't needhis crown to be useful.

Rajiv learned that it's

what's inside that counts,

and that

the most important thing

-is to believe in yourself.

-[whistle blows]

Come on, Thomas!

It's time to go!

See ya next time!
