07x13 - Salty's Stormy Tale

[bunniefuu]

(upbeat music)

- [Conductor] The engines love

working when the sun shines.

One day, Thomas and Percy were

helping Salty at the docks,

but Salty was worried.

"Eh, it may be salty now, matey,

"but there be a storm coming."

(honking)

"It may be sunny now, matey,

"but there be a storm coming."

"There be a fierce storm

on the way, Captain,"

peeped Percy.

Salty knew they were

making fun of him.

He felt sad.

(gloomy music)

Later, Sir Topham Hatt arrived.

"I want you to fetch Fergus

from the smelters yard,"

he said.

"His driver doesn't

know the line."

"Aye aye, sir,"

replied Salty, sadly.

Salty was glad he was

going to the smelters.

He didn't want to stay

where he wasn't liked.

"What's wrong?"

asked Emily.

"Eh, nobody likes to be made

fun of by silly t*nk engines,"

and he huffed away.

Emily knew she had to find

Thomas and Percy immediately.

(serious music)

(train huffing)

"Those be dark clouds, matey,"

whistled Thomas.

(steam hissing)

"There be a fierce storm

on the way, captain,"

peeped Percy.

Emily was cross.

"It's not nice to copy

the way others speak.

"You hurt Salty's feelings."

"We were just having fun,"

said Percy.

"We'll say sorry to him,"

added Thomas,

(train whistling)

(train chugging)

(serious music)

but Salty was no

where to be found.

(raining)

Thomas and Percy were worried.

(playful music)

Fergus was waiting for Salty

when he arrived at the smelters.

"Right on time,"

congratulated Fergus.

"Aye, but there's

a storm coming,"

said Salty,

"We must hurry."

(train chugging)

Soon they were hooked up

and on their way home.

(serious music)

Salty was white about the storm.

(thundering)

It was a fierce one.

The ships at sea depend

upon the lighthouse

to keep them safely

off the rocks,

but now there was trouble.

(sizzling)

(exploding)

(serious music)

"The lighthouse

lamp has gone out,"

cried the captain.

(waves crashing)

Salty and Fergus were

fighting their way

through the wind and rain.

(soft music)

(thundering)

Then Salty saw a lantern ahead.

The lighthouse keeper

was waiting for him.

"Our lighthouse

lamp has gone out.

"Our generator is broken."

Salty had an idea.

"Fergus has a fly wheel.

"It could power the generator."

"Hurry,"

shouted the lighthouse keeper.

(drumming)

(serious music)

Fergus' fly wheel was attached

to the generator shaft.

Without the lighthouse,

the ship was steaming

towards the rocks.

(thundering)

Fergus was working

as fast as he could.

Finally the generator

came back to life.

The lighthouse beam shone

across the stormy sea once more.

(serious music)

"Just in time, hard

to starboard, matey."

Salty's idea had saved the day.

(joyous music)

Fergus worked hard

until first light.

(upbeat music)

(train chugging)

The next morning,

Salty and Fergus chugged

back to the docks.

They were surprised to see

a crowd waiting for them.

"Thank you,"

said the captain.

"You saved our ship."

"Well done,"

boomed Sir Topham Hatt.

(trains chugging)

Salty was very proud.

"We're sorry if we

hurt your feelings,"

puffed Thomas.

"We were only copying you

because we think you're grand."

"Then say no more, me hearties,"

replied Salty, happily.

(soft music)

Now they will all work

together and have fun together,

as good friends should.

(upbeat music)
