what's your

name mat Matthew mat or is it Matthew

matth Matthew and you may call me Mr

Conductor well you're a good worker you

know who'd like you my friend

Thomas Thomas living there with you dear

me no Thomas is a steam engine and he

lives on the island of

Sodor you are interested in trains

aren't you yes yeah

Blended then I'll tell you a story about

my friend

Thomas you do like stories don't you oh

yeah very well but first I have to find

my

[Music]

whistle ah here we

[Music]

go Thomas is a tank engine who lives at

a big station on the island of Sodor

he's a cheeky Little Engine with six

small wheels a short Stumpy funnel a

short Stumpy boiler and a short Stumpy

Dome he's a fussy little engine too

always calling coaches about ready for

the big engines to take on Long

Journeys and when thingss come in he

pulls the empty coaches away so that the

big engines can go and rest

[Music]

Thomas thinks no engine works as hard as

he does he loves playing tricks on them

including Gordon the biggest and

proudest engine of all Thomas likes to

tease Gordon with his whistle wake up

lazy bones why don't you work hard like

me one day after pulling the big Express

Gordon had arrived back at the side in

very time TI he was just going to sleep

when Thomas came up in his cheeky way

wake up lazy bones do some hard work for

a change you can't catch me and off he

ran

laughing instead of going to sleep again

Gordon thought how he could get back at

Thomas one morning Thomas wouldn't wake

up his driver and fireman couldn't make

him start his fire went out and there

was not enough steam it was nearly time

for the express people were waiting but

the coaches weren't

ready at last Thomas

started oh dear oh dear he yawned he

bused into the station where Gordon was

waiting hurry up you said Gordon hurry

yourself replied Thomas Gordon the proud

engine began making his plan to teach

Thomas a lesson for teasing him almost

before the coaches had stopped moving

Gordon reversed quickly and was coupled

to the

[Music]

train get in quickly please he

whistled Thomas usually pushed behind

the big FS to help them start but he was

always on couple first this time Gordon

started so quickly they forgot to on

couple Thomas Gordon's chance had

[Music]

come come on come on pop Gordon for the

coaches

[Music]

the train went faster and faster too

fast for Thomas he wanted to stop but he

couldn't Peep Peep stop

stop hurry hurry hurry laugh Gordon you

can't get away you can't get away laugh

the

coaches poor Thomas was going faster

than he had ever gone before he was out

of breath and his wheels hurt him but he

had to go on I shall never be the same

again he thought sadly my wheels will be

quite worn

[Music]

out at last they stopped at the

station Thomas was uncoupled and he felt

very silly and exhausted

next he went onto a turntable thinking

of everyone laughing at

him and then he R onto a siding out of

the way well little Thomas chuckle

Gordon now you know what hard work means

don't you poor Thomas couldn't answer he

had no breath he just puffed slowly away

to rest and had a long long drink

maybe I don't have to tease Gordon to

feel important Thomas thought to himself

and he puffed slowly

[Music]

home Thomas got a little carried away

with himself it can happen to the best

of

us whoops I must be going goodbye Matt

those corners

Edward who's Edward you don't know

Edward of course you don't know Edward

you didn't know Thomas how could you

know Edward

I'll tell you a story about

[Music]

Edward one day Edward was in the shed

where he lived with the other engines

they were all bigger than Edward and

boasted about it the driver won't choose

you again said Gordon he wants strong

engines like

us but the dri of fireman felt sorry for

Edward would you like to come out today

oh oh yes please said Edward so they lit

his fire made lots of steam and Edward

puffed

away the other engines are very closser

being left

[Music]

[Music]

behind Edward work hard all day the

coaches thought he was very kind and the

driver was very

[Music]

good I'm going out again tomorrow Edward

told the other engines that night what

do you think of

that but he didn't hear what they

thought but he was so tired and happy

that he fell asleep at

once next morning Edward woke up to find

nothing could change Gordon was still

boasting

you watch me little Edward as I rush

through with the express that will be a

splendid sight for you goodbye little

Edward out for me this

afternoon Edward went off to do some

shunting he liked shunting it was fun

playing with FR he would come up quietly

and give them a push then he would stop

and the silly Freight cars would go bump

into each other oh they cried whatever

is

[Music]

happening Edward played till there were

no more freight calls then he stopped to

rest presently he heard a

whistle Gordon was very crossed instead

of nice shining coaches he was pulling a

very dirty freight train a freight train

a freight train a freight train he

grumbled the shame of it the shame of it

oh the shame of it Edward laughed and

went to find some more freight cars then

there was trouble Gordon can't get up

the hill the pter called to Edward's

driver will you take Edward and push him

[Music]

please they found Gordon halfway up and

very cross his driver and fireman were

talking to him severely

you're not trying I can't do it said

Gordon the noisy Freight cars hold an

engine back so Edward's driver came up

we've come to push no use at all said

Gordon you wait and see replied Edward's

driver they brought the train back to

the bottom of the

hill I'm ready said Edward no good

Grumble Gordon they pulled and pushed as

hard as they

[Music]

could I can't do it I can't do it I

can't do it po Gordon I will do it I

will do it I will do it puffed Edward

Edward pushed and puffed and puffed and

pushed as hard as ever he could and

almost before he realized it Gordon

found himself at the top of the hill

I've done it I've done it I've done it

he said

proudly he forgot all about kind Edward

and didn't say thank you Edward was left

out of breath and far behind but he was

happy because he had been so helpful at

the next station he found that the

driver and fireman were very pleased

with him the fireman gave him a nice

long drink and the driver said I'll get

out my paint tomorrow and give you a

beautiful color of blue with red stripes

then you'll be the smartest engine in

the

shed and the very next day he did get a

new coat of paint you're good at small

jobs and you know what a big help that
