03x19 - One Good Turn

[bunniefuu]

(bright music)

(cheery piano music)

- [George] Bill and Ben are

the most mischievous engines

working on Sir Topham

Hatt's Railway.

They're kept busy

pushing and pulling cars

up and down the

line that runs from

the China Clayworks

to the harbor yard.

They like to have fun together,

and often play tricks

on the workmen.

But sometimes their teasing

ways can get them into trouble.

One morning Sir Topham

Hatt came to see them.

Important goods have

arrived in the big yard,

Bill and Ben, I need to you

to help the other engines.

Oh yes, of course,

Sir, replied the twins.

They set off happily on

their important mission.

BoCo was resting in

the yard when suddenly

he heard a pair of

familiar whistles.

Mmmm, sighed BoCo,

here comes trouble.

Sir Topham Hatt told us you

were tired, teased Bill,

he asked us to take

all your cars for you!

You two never stop, do you?

But I'm wise to your pranks,

and we do need help here.

The twins were soon busy

pushing and pulling the

heavy cars into place.

(industrious music)

At last, the day's

work was done.

They twins now became excited,

they were going to use the

turntable for the first time.

Bill went first.

This is fun! He shrieked to Ben.

He didn't want to

move off at all.

The foreman stopped

the turntable.

Please make way for the

other engines, he ordered.

Bill did so, but the

foreman had accidentally

stopped the turntable

in the wrong place.

Bill was on the wrong track,

and there was Ben puffing

directly toward him!

The engines came

to a grinding halt.

They gazed grimly at each other.

I was here first, said Bill!

But you're in my

way, protested Ben.

You'll have to back up again!

I won't!

You will!

I won't!

Sit Topham Hatt came

to stop the noise.

If you don't behave, I shall

not allow you here again.

The next day Ben

was still grumpy.

That Bill, imagine getting

in my way on the turntable.

He's a really silly engine!

The way I heard it, signed BoCo,

it sounded like you

were both to blame.

You must have

heard it all wrong!

The twins grumbled about

each other all day.

(train chugs)

Even kind Edward lost patience.

All this grumbling spreads

bad atmosphere in the yard.

You're quite right,

and that's why I've

come up with a plan.

BoCo whispered his

plan to Edward.

Then his driver told

Sir Topham Hatt.

I'll start making

arrangements right away.

The next morning he called

Bill and Ben into the yard.

BoCo is taking a special

train to the harbor,

his regular heavy goods train

is waiting on the siding,

you can pull it together.

But!

Protested Bill and Ben,

who were still not

speaking to each other.

Good, I knew I could

rely on you two.

I'll take the train

myself, huffed Ben.

Go right ahead, said Bill.

Ben was coupled up to the

train of freight cars,

but they were too heavy

for him to move alone.

(train chugs)

Go on, teased Bill!

I can't, said Ben!

Then suddenly,

both twins laughed.

I don't think we'll take turns

this time Ben, said Bill.

I think we'd better

pull together.

Ben was delighted, it was

good to be helping each other.

Best of all, it was good

to be friends again.
