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

curl

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

someone an apology but I wouldn't 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
