Post by bunniefuu »

Welly what do we say

today well if it isn't the

train that that see if there isn't a

little something

for what do we do for you Judy well I

don't mind saying Miss Jones I had one

boond dog of the morning first off I

woke up to find my dog Ranger either off

or Ben Sten oh no who would do such an

irresponsible thing that's just the half

of us next off I discovered that someone

has been dumping all sorts of garbage on

my back

40 W fresh from the orchard that's why I

brought you some

over come for me oh thank you KY oh

you're always bringing us such wonderful

things what can we do for you well I

just come over to see what time my new

part coming in for my hay wagon it'll be

about 25 minutes 25 minutes good I'm on

my way to M flop diners with this

garbage and a good do for

complaint so is fun when Jenny comes

around always something fun to eat I

don't get what someone would sneak up on

her farm and take her dog and make a

mess did you say mess my my dirty news

sure travels fast what do you mean Mr

Conductor I mean all of that messy

trouble James the red engine is having

on the island of Sodor isn't that what

you're talking

about James in trouble this way trouble

I'd say it was Double Trouble which is

much worse than plain old single trouble

let me show you what I

needan Toby and Henrietta were enjoying

their new job on the island of Sodor but

they do look oldfashioned and did need

new paint

James was very rude whenever he saw them

yes what dirty objects he would

say at last Toby lost patience Jane he

asked why are you Red I am a splendid

engine answer Jane ready for anything

you never see my paint

[Music]

dirty oh said Toby innocently that's why

you once needed boot Laing to be ready I

suppose James went R than ever and

snorted off it was such an insult to be

reminded of the time a bootlace had been

used to mend a hole in his

coaching at the end of the line James

left his coaches and got ready for his

next train it was a slow Freight

stopping at every station to pick up and

set down car James hated slow freight

train

[Music]

dirty cars from Dirty

sidings

[Music]

yes starting with only a few he picked

up more and more cars at each station

till he had a long train

[Music]

at first the freight cars behaved well

but James bumped them so crossly that

they were determined to get back at

him presently they approached the top of

Gordon's Hill heavy freight trains Hal

here to set their breakes James had had

an accident with cars before and should

have remembered this wait James wait

said the driver but James wouldn't wait

he was too busy thinking what he would

say to Toby when they next met

the great car's chance had come hrah

hurrah they laughed and banging their

buffers they pushed them down the

hill on on yelled the Cs I've got the

stop I've got the stop gr

James disaster lay ahead

something sticky splashed all over James

he had run into two tar wagons and was

black from Smoke Box to CAD he was more

dirty than hurt but the T wagons and

some cars were all to

pieces Toby and pery would sent for help

and came as quickly as they

could look here Percy exclaimed Toby

whatever is that dirty object that's

James didn't you know it's James's shape

said Toby but James is a splendid red

engine and you never see his paint dirty

James pretended he hadn't

heard Toby and Percy cleared away the

unheard cause and helped James

[Music]

home sir toam hat met them well done

Percy and Toby he turned to James fancy

letting your cars run away I am

surprised you're not fit to be seen you

must be cleaned at once Toby shall have

a new coat of paint please sir can

Henrietta have one too said Toby

certainly Toby oh thank you sir she will

be pleased all James could do was watch

Toby as he ran off happily with the

KNE Mr Conductor did you tell us that

just so we'd feel better about cleaning

mess on jimny's Farm sometimes a little

trouble causes great

helpful I wish your friend was there to

help Gordon this morning on the island

of Sodor why won't I tell you about

it one morning Thomas was being cleaned

when Gordon

arrived mud had blown all over his smart

blue paint hello Gordon called Thomas

you look as if you've had a mud bath be

a sensible engine and have a shower

instead Gordon snorted I haven't time to

dawle over my appearance like fussy pank

engines

do the wind blew stronger Gordon slow

down called his

driver this made Gordon Crosser still

now I'll be dirty and late dirty and

late he

hits at the next station was a sign all

trains must wash down daily James had

just finished being

clean come on Gordon said his driver

you'll feel better too after a good H

down B said Gordon and angrily let off

steam you're a very naughty engine said

Gordon's driver now James will need

another shower you'll have to wait your

turn till

later good riddens huffed Gordon I'm far

too busy to waste time with

water he finished his journey safely and

steamed into the big station so Cham hat

was waiting so were Gordon's coaches and

the

passengers goodness gracious said sir

toam hat you can't pull the train Henry

will have to do it Gordon you'd better

get clean straight

away Gordon was soon being

washed mind my eyes he

grumbled then he pulled cars for the

rest of the day CR trains CR trains he

sputtered he felt his position deeply

that's for you and you and you cars will

be cars laughed

James they won't with me snorted Gordon

I'll teach

them James got ready to take the express

when Gordon

returned be careful warned Gordon the

hills are slippery you may need help I

don't need help on Hills replied James

hily Gordon thinks he knows

everything earlier a storm had swept

Gordon's Hill blowing leaves onto the

tracks which made them slippery even

though the storm had passed the hill was

still difficult to climb James knew this

the signal showed clear and James began

to go

faster I'll do it I'll do it what he

[Music]

puff halfway up he was not so sure I

must do it I must do it but his wheel

slipped on the

leaves he couldn't pull the train at all

help help whistle James

his wheels were turning forward but the

heavy coasters pulled him backwards

The whole train started slipping down

the hill His driver shut off steam and

put on the brakes Then carefully he

stopped the train

[Music]

Gordon saw everything

Ah well we live and learn Never mind

little James I'm going to push behind

Clouds of smoke and steam billowed from

the snorting engines as they struggled

up the hill We can do it puffed James We

will do it puffed Gordon

At last they reached the top

Thank you Goodbye whistled James Boop

answered Gordon Goodbye

That night Sir Topham Hat came to see

the engines Gordon was miserable "Please

sir," said Thomas "Can Gordon pull

coaches again?" "Now if you understand

that having a wash down is essential to

every engine then yes Gordon you may."

"Thank you," grunted Gordon

"Tirt clean I'm a famous machine." But

no one heard him

[Music]

Gordon found out it's really much easier

to get your work done when things are

clean and in order Wouldn't you agree

What was that

Why didn't you tell them that Oh that's

amazing Mr Conductor I didn't know you

understood dog Of course I do I can

speak every language from elephant to

parakeet You have to be careful with

parakeet They try to bend the truth just

to make what they say rhyme What's the

dog saying I'm afraid he's saying he's

not your dog He comes from Farmer's Dell

and he'd like to go back there

He's the dog that lost this morning

That's wonderful We'll have to call her

up right away Any dog

Do we have to give him back Do we have

to Oh I know how you feel Sometimes in

life you have to make difficult

decisions You know sometimes we have to

do things but take determination and

courage When I was a little girl I found

this beautiful red wagon up on Dumpling

Hill And now something that I always

wanted a red wagon Well I was just so

happy I loved it so much I took it with

me wherever I went until one day my best

friend told me that she lost her red

wagon

Wagon Well I I told her no but

she got inside I knew it

You know what Having a wagon that

belonged to somebody else made it not so

much fun anymore So I did the most

difficult thing I ever had to do I gave

it back

I know Becky I know you like it too But

the farm is where he belongs Stacy's

right That's where he feels his home is

No I don't think I like this

responsibility

Well think about how You're going to

make Kimmy when you call her and tell

her you found her dog Okay

Maybe get to be time to hitch our wagons

to another train

Move out of this Never get to our home

Yeah we could always move into someone's

glove compartment and be a car radio

I'm too old to be in a car radio again

I need steak man I don't want to be all

cramped up

Well like the little lady said this here

is our home and we'll stay in the book
