Thomas' Not-So-LuckyDay.
- Wow!
- Whoa, wow!
[whistle blows]
- Ciao, Thomas!
This most special of days
has arrived at last!
[Thomas]
What special day?
Is it Wear Unusual Things
Around Our Buffers Day?
- This is a cornicello,
an Italian good luck necklace.
Today is going to be
a very lucky day indeed!
- It is?
- Of course!
It's Friday the th!
- Oh.
Where I come from,
Friday the th is unlucky.
- Lucky you're in Italy, then!
- Nobody in Italy believes
in silly superstitions
like those anymore.
- What's a superstition?
- A superstition is
something people believe
will bring them
good or bad luck.
[metal clanging]
- Tocca ferro!
[laughs]
- What?
Is that Italian for "Sorry I
bumped into you for no reason?"
- [laughs]
No, it means "touch iron,"
which brings good luck,
and your buffer is made of iron.
- You two spent too long
stuck down that mine.
You're still stuck in the past!
There's no such thing as luck.
If you think positively
that good things will happen,
then you'll have a good day.
[whistle blows]
[harp flourish]
- [gasps]
I hope there aren't
bananas in those cars!
- Why?
What's wrong with bananas?
- Some people believe
carrying bananas is bad luck--
at sea, anyway.
- [Thomas laughs]
That's the most bananas thing
I've ever heard!
But don't worry.
I'm delivering salt.
- [gasps]
[dramatic musical flourish]
Salt?
Do not spill it!
That would be far worse
than carrying bananas!
Very bad luck indeed!
[whistle toots]
Mia, do you believe
in superstitions?
- [laughs]
I don't think so, Thomas.
The best way to make things
go your way is to work hard.
- Now that I can do!
[whistle toots]
Digging for gold again, Ester?
- [laughs]
No such luck, Thomas.
I'm just--
- Brava, Ester!
- Huh? What have I done?
[whistle blows]
- You've turned right.
- Turning right
is very good luck.
- [laughs]
But that's a silly
superstition!
If I keep turning right,
I just go round in circles.
- [laughs]
- [gasps]
Mamma mia!
- Wow!
What good luck!
- What did I tell you?
[whistle toots]
[Thomas]
I wondered whether I'd havegood luck if I turned right.[quirky music]

Stop!
Never go under a ladder!

Once, Percy was havinglots of bad luck,so Stephen gave him his luckyhorseshoe to cheer him up!Percy thought the horseshoewas giving him good luck,but it had fallen off.He was having a lucky daybecause he wasthinking positively.When I was workingon the Italian railway,I thoughtI was having bad luck.Things were not goingvery well.But eventually,my luck changed.You don't need to havea lucky horseshoeor follow any superstitionsto have a good day.
[steam whooshing]
You can have good luck
and bad luck.
I also learned
that by believing good things
will happen to you
and working hard,
you can create your own luck.
