(happy music)
(playful music)
- [Narrator] It was holiday
time on the island of Sodor.
(train whistling)
All the engines were
working happily.
(zippy music)
except for James.
- Why should a
splendid engine like me
take messy coal cars
instead of coaches?
Percy or Oliver should do it!
I'm too important!
- [Narrator] Thomas was cross.
- James, why don't you
think about something
or someone else for a change?
You'll be surprised
at how much better
you'll feel if you do.
- Oh, please!
Being important
is the only thing
for me to think about!
Ha!
(train whistling)
(train chugging)
(plane engine buzzing)
- [Narrator] "That plane's
making a great deal of noise,"
said Percy to Oliver.
"His name's Tigamoth,"
replied Oliver.
- "And it's flying
around telling everyone"
"about the fair that's
arriving today."
(brakes screeching)
- What are you two doing here?
- Sir Topham Hatt
wants us to pick up
a very special load
from the harbor.
- And I think it's got
something to do with the fair.
(train whistling)
- [Narrator] Then
they puffed away.
(train chugging)
Meanwhile, James was collecting
quarry cars from the yards.
"Dustier and
dustier," he grumbled.
Then he saw Mrs. Kindly.
- She looks miserable.
- [Narrator] "What the
matter?" asked James's driver.
- My sister has rung to tell me
she can't come to stay with me.
I was so looking
forward to her visit.
- [Narrator] Sir Topham Hatt
soon heard the sad news.
- We must cheer her up.
Send Harold the helicopter
to pick her up immediately.
(triumphant music)
- [Narrator] A
few minutes later,
there was a surprise
for Mrs. Kindly.
"All present and
correct," called Harold.
- I'm here on a flying visit.
Hurry aboard Mrs. Kindly,
and fly the sky with me.
Compliments of Sir Topham Hatt.
- Oh how lovely!
- [Narrator] "Harold's made
my paint dustier than ever,"
muttered James.
But he was happy
for Mrs. Kindly.
She was soon flying
high with Harold.
- I've never seen the
island like this before.
It's wonderful.
(ebullient music)
(train chugging)
- [Narrator] Meanwhile, Percy
and Oliver were at the docks,
Cranky the crane was unloading
an old tramp steamer.
- Hey down there, you two.
I'm playing lucky dip
in the tramper's hold
and all these are for you.
(seagulls cawing)
(upbeat music)
- [Narrator] "Wooden
Horses!" Percy exclaimed.
"For the carousel ride!"
- It's going to be a
very exciting fair.
- [Narrator] "It is
indeed," whistled James.
- Sir Topham Hatt has ordered me
to stop pulling coal cars
and go to the station instead.
Something to do
with Mrs. Kindly.
Goodbye.
(train chugging)
- [Narrator] "Well what do you
think of that?" cried Percy.
Mrs. Kindly was waiting for
James with Sir Topham Hatt.
- Now this is your
very special treat.
James will take you
on a mystery ride
then I shall meet you
at your destination.
(train whistling)
(train chugging)
- [Narrator] James
took Mrs. Kindly
along her favorite coastal
route to Tidmouth Bay.
(ebullient music)
When he arrived there,
a big surprise
awaited Mrs. Kindly.
(trilling music)
"Oh!" She cried.
- You've brought me to the
fairground, how lovely!
- [Narrator] Best of all,
Sir Topham Hatt invited her
to make the announcement.
- I declare this
fairground open!
(drums rolling)
(twinkling)
- [Narrator] Mrs. Kindly had
the first ride on the carousel.
(jaunty big band music)
"You were quite right
Thomas," James whispered.
- Making someone happy
does cheer you up.
- [Narrator] Then together they
watched the fun of the fair.
