to have fun for charity that's what we

thought too but doubts turned into a big

deal mr. Windell gonna lose his money

because he bit I it stinks it sounds

like you're already out of the race

before you're even in it what if Henry

had done that he means to be green

engine but the only Henry I know

oh but Henry didn't have to race against

little skinny no but it was something

just as serious Henry wasn't feeling

well and he couldn't even pull a freight

train he would never win a race in that

condition come on I'll 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 all

I suffered dreadfully and no one cares

rubbish Henry snorted James you don't

work hard enough

Sir Topham Hatt spoke to him - what's

wrong with you Henry you have had lots

of new parts and new paint - what

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 fireman very sad Sir Topham

Hatt was waiting when Henry came to the

platform he had taken off his hat and

coat and put on overalls

Henry managed to start but his fireman

was not satisfied Henry is a bad steamer

he said - Sir Topham Hatt 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 Edwards station oh dear thought

Henry I shall have to go away oh dear oh

dear all he could do was to go slowly

onto a siding and Edward took charge of

the Train Sir Topham Hatt in the fireman

went on discussing Henry's troubles what

do you think is wrong fireman

asked Sir Topham Hatt 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 Hatt but

Henry must have a fair chance

Jane shall go and fetch some

when the Welsh coal came Henry's driver

and fired it 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

wanted 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

I feel fine have you a good fire driver

never better sir and plenty of steam no

record-breaking Warren Sir Topham Hatt

don't push him too hard

Henry were cruel pushing sir I'll have

to hold him back

lovely day he had never felt so well in

his life wanted to go fast but his

driver wouldn't let him steady old

fellow would say there's plenty of time

they arrived early at the station Thomas

puffed in where have you been lazybones

asked Henry oh I can't wait for dawdling

tank engines like you goodbye

whoo said Thomas to the coaches have you

ever seen anything like it

both annie and clarabel agreed that they

never had Henry didn't give up with some

help from his friends he just got better

and so can you

I'll see you at the races

Oh

Oh

crowd there I'm on the school

what happened if you want right it's

just a scrape look at my bike

Oh shucks game you know what I guess

that means you'll be in the race

I mean mr. winkles already lost his bet

oh oh well I am real sorry about that

Dan but those are the breaks you guys

are gonna are you sure you're all right

okay hmm all right then if you need us

you know where you can find this truly

story Jam and knowing I mean that right

mr. conductor what are you doing here

aren't you in the rain I can't go I hurt

my leg good you're like - sure

see I fell off my bike but that's all

under my leg really hey I have an idea

maybe we should start a club call it the

sore leg Club the rules are this you

have to sit and feel sorry for yourself

for missing a r*pe okay remember man I

know someone else who could be a member

of a sore leg Club know Henry from the

island of sodor he'd make a great member

Wow why you mean you didn't hear and

where he'd hurt more than his leg let me

tell you what happened one winter

evening Henry's driver said we'll be out

early tomorrow we've got to take the

flying kipper

don't tell Gordon but I think if we pull

the kipper nicely Sir Topham Hatt will

let us pull the Express

a special coal they gave you is working

well hooray

cried Henry that will be lovely

all kinds of ships use the harbor at the

big station by the sea there are

passenger ships cargo 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 rail women called flying

kipper

Henry was ready at five o'clock there

was snow and frost men hustled and

shouted loading up the crates of fish

the last door bang the guard showed his

green lamp and the flying kipper ready

to go

come on come on don't be silly don't be

silly puffed Henry to the freight cars

the cars shuddered and groan chickity

truck chickity truck alright alright

that's better bad better off Henry

clouds of smoke and steam poured from

his funnel into the cold air and the

fire's light shone brightly hurry hurry

hurry

panted Henry

they were going well the light grew

better signal light shone green as they

pass

the 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 to a siding were frozen

and the home signal should have been set

a danger but snow had forced it down a

freight train was waiting in the siding

to let the flying kipper pass 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

Henry's driver and fireman had jumped

clear before the crash but Henry lay

dazed and surprised

Sir Topham Hatt came to see him the

signal was down sir said Henry

cheer up Henry wasn't your fault

ice and snow caused the accident I'm

sending you to Crewe a fine place for

sick engines they'll give you a new

shape and a larger firebox you'll feel a

different engine and you won't need

special coal anymore won't that be nice

yes sir said Henry doubtfully

Henry like being crew but was glad to

come home

a crowd of people waited to see him a

ride in his new shape he looked so

splendid and strong that they gave him

free cheer he whistled thank you very

much I'm sorry to say that a lot of

little children are off from late for

school

because they wait to see Henry go by

they often see him pulling the Express

he does it so well Gordon is jealous and

that's another story

I have another idea when they hold the

race next time let's hurt our legs again

why would we do that because we're

having such a good time feeling sorry

for ourselves wait I want to miss the

next race soon it sounds like you're not

feeling sorry for yourself anymore and

that means you're out of the soil egg

Club yeah the only thing to do is to

forget the club and try something else

we can start all over and I know just

the place

where's that where else do you start by

going down the anything Tommo

you can roll any troubles like a pig in

mud you can stay home

no one

you figure every

that how embarrassing it is just

that's not new

smartphone say

that's not the way

pick yourself up and dust yourself up

you can bury nothing

you can thank you

and suffering

because you can't fix your friend

not not away

okay

Oh

pop star

you can decide

but you know

but you know about

even let no one denies

and ya know

yourself up dust yourself off star

you gotta stop

it's like the song says dan pick

yourself up dust yourself off and start

the race over again

great you forgot about the rain washes

on the way I can't see Dan hold up your

hand higher there much better thank you

well let's see yeah they come around the

bend it's Kara Becky and little steamy

a little steamy trailing lengths behind

Becky now it's Tara

and Becky little steamy pulling up on

the inside and here they come

Carol eating little steamy pulling up

riding high it's Tara

falling back now this little ski me Kara

and Becky and a little ski me wins by a

curl

I'm afraid so Dan hi Dan

all right okay yes you guess we're so

excited about me winning I didn't even

get into the race

now you lost your money you're sorry

damn it's just a race now look I don't

want this to get around but you know

many motorcycle races I've been in

hundreds you know many have won know

okay schemer you're 20 nickels

now Barney's let me say this I enjoyed

making a wager as two intelligent mature

drug rich I bet that this lug wrench

will fit dance spike oh he said to do

anything to win hey when I said anything

I did not mean anything that means

you're disqualified Ski me and I get my

nickels back here see me Sally did you

breakdance bike but you could have

caused them to have a serious accident

now is that fair no well I think you owe

someone an apology but I wouldn't race

hey won the race

I lost a pile of nickels and more

importantly than that

I lost the pride of the schemer named

I'm really sorry yeah

maybe a lot more sorry when I get you

home take away your bike and straighten

out this curl scheming didn't win the

race didn't I mean Carol won

it sure does it does no question about a

car you won not as the winner I would

like you to have this money for the new

playground but you put this money on dad

not me yeah well I think I just

remembered something Kerry you see the

race was about a playground not about

who won or lost mm-hmm sometimes we get

so caught up out winning that we forget

it's important to just do our best won't

care give her best yeah three
