that poor woman who missed her

train Mr Conductor where have you been

I've been off to the island of Sodor

visiting Henry you remember Henry the

Big Green Engine and what have you been

up to Stacey feels bad because the woman

passenger got mixed up and thought Mr

Stacey's feeling bad is she Henry the

Green Engine has been feeling poorly too

he couldn't seem to get anything right

and everybody said it was his fault let

me tell you about

it one morning Henry was feeling very

sorry for himself sometimes he could

pull trains but sometimes he felt he had

no strength at

[Music]

all I suffer dreadfully and no one cares

rubbish Henry snorted James you don't

work hard

[Music]

enough sir toam hat spoke to him too

what's wrong with you Henry you have had

lots of new parts and new paint too but

they've done you no good if we can't

make you better we must get another

engine instead of you to do the work

this made Henry his driver and his

fireman very

sad

[Music]

sir topper half was waiting when Henry

came to the platform he had taken off

his hat and coast and put on

overall Henry managed to start but his

fireman was not satisfied Henry is a bad

steamer he said to S toam hat I build up

his fire but it doesn't give enough

heat Henry tried very hard but it was no

good he didn't have enough Steam and

came to a stop outside Edward's

station oh dear for Henry I shall have

to go away oh dear oh

dear all he could do was to go slowly

onto a sing and Edward took charge of

the

train so top him has in the F went on

disting in Henry's trouble what do you

think is wrong fireman asked Sir Topham

hat excuse me sir he answered but the

fact is the coal is wrong we've had a

poor lot lately and today it's worse the

other engines can manage they have big

fire boxes Henry's is small and can't

make the heat with Welsh coal he'd be a

different

engine it's expensive said Sir Topham

hat but Henry must have a fair chance

James shall go and fetch

some

[Music]

when the Welsh coold came Henry's driver

and fan were excited now we'll show them

Henry old

fellow they carefully made his fire

putting large lumps of coal like a wall

around the outside then the glowing

middle part was covered with smaller

lumps

you're spoiling my fire complained

Henry wait and see said the fireman

we'll have a roaring fire just when we

want it the fireman was right when Henry

reached the platform the water was

boiling nicely and he had to let off

steam how are you Henry beep beep

whistle Henry I feel fine have you a

good fire driver never better sir I'm

plenty of steam

have you a good fire driver ever better

sir and plenty of steam no record

breaking warn sir topam hat don't push

him too hard and you won't need pushing

sir I'll have to hold him

[Music]

back

Henry had a lovely day he had never felt

so well in his life he wanted to go fast

but his driver wouldn't let

him steady old fellow he would say

there's plenty of

time they arrived early at the station

Thomas popped

in where have you been lazy bones asked

Henry oh I can't wait for dling tank

engines like you

[Music]

goodbye said Thomas to Annie and clal

have you ever seen anything like it both

Annie and clal agreed that they never

[Music]

had so you see it wasn't Henry's fault

at all and his new Co feared him light

up I wish there was something we could

do to cheer

thank you what cheers you of when you're

down I know when you make up Fun rhy Fun

For Girls Fun For Boys clever rhymes of

just like toys why don't you make up

some rhymes for Stacy oh great here the

once this train that was quick as a swe

um um I can't think of anything that

rhymes a s it went off its track and had

a great

crash that's no good Matt and T you need

some assistance allow me to offer some

rhyme rules for instance to tickle the

mind with the sound of a rhyme say what

you wish with a rhythm in time the words

Will Spring forth of the drop of the

[Music]

D that woman is nowhere to be

found I'm sure she's going to miss her

wedding

station for trains it runs pretty well

and on one mistake you never should D if

it w for you there'd be no train station

you think you deserve a standing

ovation oh that was wonderful you know

what I'm going to do I'm going to find

paper and pen and write a poem for

[Music]

you

steamer you see steamer drop a dime I

still need to make rhyme a rhyme that's

and quite Snappy makes everybody glad

and happy not me I hate to rhyme I think

they're just a waste of

time is that a rhyme that I just heard

makeer play on work this is silly

they're quite contagious this rhyming

business is

outrageous I'll play a song and clear my

head and stop this rhyming business

[Music]

[Music]

dead oh come on nickel alert Nick alert

oh everybody up come on we are like on

now you're on oh what are we

playing what's wrong with this

confounded thing I paid good money to

hear it

sing that's not what I meant by what

Shake is this is not a boom

box did one of you kids break this too

box you didn't touch it well I'm going

to have to get my tools and I hate

fixing things because fixing things is a

waste of time and as we all know time

is

time is money

[Music]

honey when that dude comes back we

better have our gig together you dig

like to

Leo that guy is bad

new and

like what's all the commotion the juke

box is broken te is getting close to S

uh that Juke he's a delicate

machine the way old schema is about he's

likely to ruin

her you

know hurrying and rushing is the cause

for most of the accidents in this world

if people would just slow down a little

take their time sing things through

there' be a lot few accidents that's why

we have rules on the railroad they're

mostly in little books like this you see

the railroad is like a big family where

everybody has their responsibilities and

jobs to do sometimes you don't know

exactly why there's a rule for this or

that but you know you have to follow

them so there isn't a train right for

some of a big mistake all the rules are

just to help real people who the right

things and avoid risk of

situations like I said most of that is

simple common sense of course some

people never

learn it's exactly the same here at the

station when you're working on the

railroad or even when you doing

something fun in your own

backyard you have to work extra hard to

keep from having an

accident careful thought and taking your

time that's the ticket to things safe

and

sound now I've got to go do my job and

face this railing before some passenger

in a hurry falls off the

platform take the time and not rush then

they get things

right now that be some heavy advice is

everybody ready

ready

set go a one a two a

lovely all kinds of ships use the harbor

at the big station by the Sea there are

passenger ships cargo ship ships and

fishing boats also come here they unload

their fish on the key some of it goes to

shops in the town and the rest in a

special train to other places far away

this is the Train the railen call the

flying

snow and frost men hustled and shouted

loading up the crates of fish the last

door bang the guard showed his green

[Music]

Henry Thousand steam poured from his

funnel into the cold earth and the

fire's light shone brightly "Hurry hurry

hurry," panted Henry

[Music]

They were going well The light grew

better Signal light shone green as they

pass Then a yellow signal appeared ahead

His driver prepared to stop but the home

signal was down All clear Henry Away we

go They couldn't know the switches from

the main line siding were frozen and the

home signal should have been set to

danger but snow had forced it

down A freight train was waiting in the

siding to let the flying kipper pass and

the driver and fireman were drinking

cocoa in the caboose "The kipper is

due," said the conductor "Who cares?"

said the fireman "This is good cocoa."

The driver got up "Come on firemen back

to our engine." They got out just in

time

[Music]

Henry's driver and fireman had jumped

clear before the crash but Henry lay

dazed in

surprised Sir Topham Hat came to see him

The signal was down sir said

Henry Cheer up Henry It wasn't your

fault Ice and snow caused the accident

I'm sending you to crew a fine place for

sick engines They'll give you a new

shape and a larger firebox You'll feel a

different engine and won't need special

coal anymore Won't that be nice yes sir

said Henry doubtfully

[Music]

Henry liked being a crew but was glad to

come

[Music]

home A crowd of people waited to see him

alive in his new shape He looked so

splendid and strong that they gave him

three

cheers He whistled Thank you very much

I am sorry to say that a lot of little

children are often late for school

because they wait to see Henry go by

They often see him pulling the express

He does it so well that Gordon is

jealous But that's another story

poem I wrote for you When I was glum and

feeling low you brought me your rhymes

ups and mistakes It's best to learn of

what went wrong and think about it hard

and you'll never make the same mistakes

again But once the learning part is done

you should move on and have some fun
