- [Narrator] It was an exciting
day on the island of Sodor.
"Good morning!" Called Harold.
(train whistle)
Annie and Clarabel were
full of happy children.
Thomas was taking them to
their annual Sports Day.
Everything was ready
for the day to begin.
"I do hope I'm number one
and win a medal," said a boy.
"It must be splendid to win
a medal," chuffed Thomas.
"After all, I'm
engine number one."
(train engine chugging)
Thomas worked hard all afternoon
but he couldn't stop
thinking about medals.
He imagined himself
wearing a gold medal
on a bright red ribbon.
How smart he would look!
(truck whirring)
"Hello Thomas!" Whistled Percy.
"I'm taking Sir Tophamm
Hatt to sports day."
"You can see the egg and
spoon race," chuffed Thomas.
"I didn't know eggs
and spoons had races."
"Children race with eggs
on spoons." Said Bertie.
"And the winner gets a medal!
I wish I could have a medal!"
"You need to win a race
first!" Whistled Percy.
(train whistle)
"I'll race you, Thomas!
The first one to the
station is the winner!"
"You're on!" Called Thomas.
"Ready, steady,
Go!"
(horn honks)
(upbeat music)
(horn honks)
"Better hurry,
Bertie!" Peeped Thomas.
(train whistle)
Then, Thomas had to stop
to pick up some passengers.
(horn honks)
"Better hurry,
Thomas!" Teased Bertie
as he rattled over the bridge.
(train whistle)
(upbeat music)
Then, Bertie had to stop
at a level crossing.
"Last one there puffs
hot air!" Called Thomas.
Thomas was nearly
at the station.
As he drew near
the playing field,
a signalman flagged him down.
Now, Thomas was really cross.
Bertie was sure to win!
Then he saw Sir Tophamm Hatt.
"Thomas, the sport's day medals
have been left in my office.
You must fetch them at once!
We can't let the children down!"
"Of course not,
sir!" Replied Thomas
and he cuffed away.
(upbeat string music)
Meanwhile, Bertie had
raced into the station.
"I won!" Shouted
Bertie. "I won!"
And he waited
eagerly for Thomas.
He waited and waited.
(upbeat music)
But Thomas had forgotten
about the race.
He was thinking
about the children.
"I can't let them down!
I can't let them down!"
At last, Thomas puffed
back into the big station.
The station master gave Thomas'
driver the box of medals.
(Train whistle)
Then, Thomas set off again.
(upbeat music)
He arrived just in time!
"Well done," said
Sir Tophamm Hat.
"Thank you, sir!" Panted Thomas.
Sir Tophamm Hat presented
the medals to the winners.
"Congratulations!"
"Thank you, sir!"
(cheering)
(car engine)
The next day, Bertie
and the medal winner
arrived with a
surprise for Thomas.
A small boy presented
him with a gold medal
on a red ribbon.
"You were very helpful
at Sports Day."
"So we thought you should
have a medal of your own,"
added the boy.
"My very own medal,"
said Thomas. "Thank you!"
"Three cheers for Thomas,
the number one engine!"
"Hip, hip, hooray!"
(horn honks)
"But I still won the
race," tooted Bertie.
(train whistle)
Thomas just peeped happily.
(upbeat music)
