[Music]

listen Gordon was resting in a

siding sometimes he thought it's really

tiring to be such a large and splendid

engine one does have to keep up

appearances

soep Peep Peep beep hello lazy bones

whistled Henry what cheeks roted Gordon

that Henry is too big for his wheels P

he speaking to me like that me who has

never had an

[Music]

accident all jammed whistles and burst

safety vales accidents

asked Percy

innocently no indeed High Spirits might

happen to any engine but to come off the

rails like Henry did well I asked you is

it right is it

decent then it was Henry's turn to take

the express Gordon watched him getting

ready be careful Henry you're not

pulling the flying kipper now mind you

keep on the rails today

[Music]

Henry RS off in a hop and Gordon yawned

and went to

sleep but not for long wake up Gordon

said his driver a special trains coming

from were to P it is it coaches or

Freight cars cars said his driver cars

said Gordon

Gordon's fire was slow to starts so

Edward had to push Gordon for the turn

to get him facing the right

way I won't go I won't go Grumble

[Music]

Gordon don't be silly don't be silly

[Music]

fored at last Gordon was on the

turntable the movement had shaken his

fire it was now burning nicely and Mak

seing

steam Gordon was crossed and didn't care

what he did he waited till the table was

halfway around I'll show them I'll show

them he

his he moved slowly forward to jam the

table but he couldn't stop himself and

slithered into a ditch oh she his get me

out get me out

not a hope said his driver and fireman

you're stuck you silly great engine

don't you understand

that they telephone their Topham hat so

Gordon didn't want to take the special

train and ran into a

ditch what's that you say the specials

waiting tell Edward to take it please

and Gordon oh leave him where he is

we'll get him out

later on the other side of the ditch

some little boys were chattering Co

doesn't he look silly they'll never get

him

out they began to sing silly old Gordon

fell in a ditch fell in a ditch fell in

a ditch silly old Gordon fell in the

ditch all on the Monday

morning Gordon lay in the ditch all day

oh dear he thought I shall never get

out but that even they lifted G G and

made a road of sleepers under his wheels

to keep him from the mud strong ropes

were fastened to his back end and James

and Henry toing hard managed to bring

him to safety

[Music]

late that night Gordon crawled home a

sadder and wiser

engine does that mean that Gordon would

ever be bossy again well not for a while

[Music]

Mr Conductor how can schemer make such a

big mistake and still be like he always

is he's not sorry or anything well he

may not have learned anything but you

have learned about helping

people and Gordon has learned the same

thing lucky thing for Thomas that he did

too but let me begin at the

[Music]

beginning one day Thomas was at the

junction when G shuffled in with some

Freight

cars remarked Thomas what a funny

smell can you smell a smell I can't

smell a smell said Annie a funny musty

sort of smell said Thomas no one noticed

it till you did grunted Gordon it must

be yours not long ago he had fallen into

a dirty ditch enjoyed teasing him about

it Annie clarel do you know what I think

it is it's

ditchwater before Gordon could answer

Thomas puffed

away Annie and claraval could hardly

believe their ISS he's dreadfully rude I

feel quite ashamed I feel quite ashamed

he's dreadfully rude and to Thomas they

said you mustn't be rude you make us

ashamed but Thomas didn't didn't care a

[Music]

bit that was funny that was funny he

chuckled he felt very pleased with

himself Annie and clarabel were deeply

shocked they had great respect for

Gordon the big

Engine Thomas left the coaches at the

station and went off to the M for some

[Music]

cause long ago miners digging for lead

had made tunnels under the ground their

roofs are strong enough to hold up cars

but not the weight of engines a large

notice want them not to enter the area

danger engines must not pass this

board silly old board thought Thomas he

had often tried to pass it but had never

succeeded but this morning he had made a

plan the fireman went to throw the

switch now for my plan for Thomas

bumping the cars fiercely he Jed his

driver off the fo plate and followed

them into the side come back his

[Music]

driver fire and smoke said Thomas I am

sunk and he was oh dear dear he said I

am a silly

engine and a very naughty one too I saw

you said Sir Topham hat please get me

out I won't do it

again I'm not sure we can't lift you out

with a crane the ground's not firm

enough H let me see I wonder if Gordon

could pull you out yes sir said Thomas

but he didn't want to meet Gord Gordon

just

yet down a mine is he left Gordon what a

[Music]

joke poop poop little Thomas we'll have

you out a couple of

[Music]

Puffs strong cables were fastened

between the two engines

are you ready

[Music]

heave it was a lot harder than they all

thought but at last Thomas was free I'm

sorry I was cheeky said Thomas that's

all right Thomas you made me laugh

replied

Gordon I'm in disgrace so am I said

Thomas why so you are Thomas shall we

form an alliance you help me and I'll

help you right you are agreed

Thomas good that settled Rumble

Gordon and buffer to buffer the Allies

puffed

[Music]

home so you see even Gordon can learn to

help someone besides himself do you

think he will stranger things have

happened not that I can think of
