dear diary one thing is always possibly

cows eat grass

why does milk white why isn't it green I

asked this because this morning on a

trip from doodle Haven I saw 3 towers

grazing in the field

exactly oh listen it's nice that he

wants you to be safe you know but tell

them it's only dangerous if you're not

careful

women can be in rodeos and something

else I've always wondered do fish sleep

this is a private questions diary and

are meant only for you yes this is just

between us of course it's a private

conversation

yes telling them it's Jones oh are you

talking about on the phone just now

didn't your mother teach you not to fry

into other people's affairs oh yeah I

never listened to the trade see about

her new boyfriend and it's all I'm

going to say we're gonna make

walkie-talkie that a tin cans and string

village a teacher's house is rather full

of himself you know who he might be good

friends with diesel have I told you

about him duck got to know him first

but I'd better begin at the beginning

duck is very proud of being Great

Western he talks endlessly about it but

he works hard too and makes everything

go like clockwork it was a splendid day

the cars and coaches behaved well the

passengers even stopped grumbling but

the engines didn't like having to bustle

about there are two ways of doing things

duck Fulton a Great Western way or the

wrong way

I'm Great Western and don't we know it

they groan the engines were glad when a

visitor came

he purred smoothly towards them sir

topham had introduced him here is diesel

I have agreed to give him a trial he

needs to learn please teach him duck

good morning Purdy's aluminum oil boys

pleased to meet you doc is that James

and Henry and Gordon - I am delighted to

meet such famous engine

the silly engines were flattered he has

very good manners they murmured we're

pleased to have him in our yard duck had

his doubts come on and he said diesel

heard after you

you're worthy top Sir Topham Hatt - you

ordered John diesel looked hurt you're

one of these Sir Topham Hatt thinks I

need to learn he is mistaken we Diesel's

don't need to learn we know everything

we come to a yard and improve it we are

revolutionary Oh said done if you're

rather rep read a thing of me perhaps

you would collect my cars while I fetch

Gordon's coaches diesel delighted to

show off herd away when duck returned

diesel was trying to take some cars from

a siding they were old and empty they've

not been touched for a long time

diesel found them hard to move Oh push

backwards forward oh the cars grown we

can't we won't duck watched with

interest

diesel lost patience he roared and gave

a great heave the cars jerked forward

they scream we can we won't some of

their breaks snapped in the gear jammed

and the sleepers chuckled duck diesel

recovered and tried to push the cars

back but they wouldn't move

duck crane quietly round to collect the

other cars thank you for arranging these

diesel I must go now don't you want this

love no thank you

diesel go and I've taken all this

trouble why didn't you tell me you've

never asked me besides said done you

were having such fun being free whatever

it was you said goodbye

diesel had to help the workmen clear the

mess he hated all the cars were laughing

and singing at him

cars are waiting in the yard tactic them

with these hope to show the world what I

can do

daily boasts the diesel in and out he

creeps about like a big black weasel

when he pulls the wrong cars house pop

goes the diesel growl diesel and

stumbled away to salt in the shed

that's another story but it will have to

wait no no I monster clogged evil to go

clog dancing of course the idea here is

enough spring but you have enough

distance to make it interesting

it's not so much can't keep it there but

I think works

we used to use signal lights that way

the conductor or the brakeman back in

the caboose could signal the engineer in

the front of the brain that everyone was

on board and it was safe to leave most

of all trains whistle each whistling do

something different

one kind of whistle would take on

another time you wish it they I'm back

of

tattletails oh sounds a lot like what

happened to Percy and Duck and naturally

diesel the engine with Attitude listen

and I'll tell you about

[Applause]

it duck and Percy enjoy their work at

the harbor pulling and pushing Cars full

of cargo to and from the

[Music]

key one morning the engines were

exhausted the harbor was busier than

ever so topam hat promised that another

engine would be found to help them huh

it's about time said Percy I ache so

much I can hardly get my wheels to move

agreed duck they waited for the engine

to

arrive it came as a shock when he did

good morning squirmed diesel in his oily

voice the two engines had not worked

with diesel for a long time what are you

doing here gasped duck your worthy top

uh satpam hat sent me I hope you are

pleased to see me again I am to shunt

some dreadfully tiresome

cars Shunk where said Percy suspiciously

where why from here to there heard

Diesel and then again from there to here

easy isn't it with that diesel as if to

make himself quite clear bumped some

cars hard oh screamed the

cars growled

diesel Percy and duck were horrified

they did not trust diesel at all they

refused to work and would not leave

their

shed sir topam hat was enjoying his tea

and iced bun when the telephone ran so

there's trouble in the Harbor Yard I'll

be there right away

diesel was working loudly and alone

cargo lay on the key shifts and

passengers were delay everyone was

complaining about Sir Topham Hatt's

railway Percy and duck was sulking in

their shade what's all this

demanded Sir Topham Hatt we're on strike

sir said Percy nervously yes added duck

beg pardon sir but we won't work with

diesel sir you said you sent him packing

sir I have to give diesel a second

chance required Sir Topham Hatt I'm

trying to help you by bringing diesel

here now you must help me he was the

only engine available Percy and duck

went sadly back to work next morning

things were no better Diesel's driver

had not put his brakes on properly and

diesel started to move he went straight

into Percy wake up there person scowled

easel you have work to do you didn't

even say you sorry to person later

diesel bumped the car so hard that the

loads went everywhere waffle Sir Topham

Hatt's a gasped Percy he won't like it

said God so who's going to tell him I

wonder too goody-goody tattletales like

you I suppose

Percy and duck did not want to be

tattletales

so they said nothing diesel thinking he

could get away with his bad behavior was

ruler than ever

next day he was shunting freight cars

full of China clay he banged the cars

hard into the

the buffers weren't secure was silly

cars were sunk will sir topham hatt

heard the news the cars were hoisted

safely from the sea but the clay was

lost Sir Topham Hatt spoke severely to

diesel the harbor master has told me

everything

things work much better here before you

arrive I shall not be inviting you back

now duck and Percy I hope you won't mind

having to handle the work by yourselves

again oh no sir yes please sir replied

the engine whistling cheerfully they

popped back to work while diesel is so

smugly away

Percy and duck had the same problem you

have with scheming no one likes a

tattle-tale but of course if you see

someone doing something really dangerous

you should tell a grown-up immediately

that's not being a tattletale that's

being sensible what he's doing is wrong

people who I usually get found out but

sometimes you need to give Ally a little

nudge to bring it out in the open

loulou's you treat it the best kind of

trick is when someone tricks himself now

excuse me I must go don't refuse me how

are you home with me everything we say

how to make something up in tricky so

Becky where did you see those fantastic

and truly amazing they didn't say where

they were kidding but they must be his

number in this station wrong let's go

earthquake more like a see me quit Rick

laughing there's a main distinction

okay no upside down looking for choice

and now it's all clean but I didn't do

it and no one else is here

oh please exactly what I was saying

before this place is haunted all right

let's think for a second

now you will bug in this place before

for ghosts now did you find any

ghost-like evidence are here any spook

like noises looking for both

I just wanted to spy on people saw

young man I'm extremely disappointed in

you after what we talked about before

you lie to me I am afraid you are going

to have to be punished and you know what

that punishment is yes the curl is one

thing a spy on people it's something

else entirely different in much worse

the lie to your uncle schemer this is

going to hurt me

Borden's trying to give you well I was

at ministering some punishment this

Jones it seems to my nephew here

well he he left the walkie-talkies all

over the place and he should be learning

to take better care of such

sophisticated electronic equipment you

know what I mean hmm we'll get him down

anyway ha well my nephew here seems to

becoming a believer in the fact is with

trying to people anyway you

like to learn before you learn that

you've got a lot to learn
