how neat and polite I am she's messy and rude she got away with everything when
we were kids like what one night at dinner she took off her shoes and socks
and put her feet in the mashed potatoes another time she took my
drawings and made paper airplanes out of them well she was younger then she wouldn't do that now oh what about the

tell those Thomas stories yes okay tell me a story a new
story well if you really want to hear one oh I do I do I do a good one and
make it exciting calm down and have a monkey in it just a second this is a story about a
toad a break van named toad
Oliver had been to the works to be mended some Troublesome cars tricked him
and the Great Western engine fell into the turntable
well now Oliver was as good as new but he was still worried about cars I'd
rather not use them he puffed to himself but the car sang songs rude and
Loud scruff their leader led the corus Oliver's no use at all thinks he's
very clever says that he can manage us that's the best joke ever when he ERS us
about with the greatest fly we just push him down the
well go Thomas duck and Percy were shocked be quiet they ordered but they
couldn't be everywhere and everywhere they weren't the cars began again Oliver's no use at all thinks he's very
clever says that he can manage us that's the best joke
ever at last the engines gave up we're sorry Oliver they said it's really my
fault said Oliver sadly I shouldn't have fallen in the turntable well toad The
Brak van felt sorry for Oliver
too next morning he spoke to Douglas I'm worried Mr Douglas this disrespect for
engines where is it going to end who knows sighed Douglas I've got a plan Mr
Douglas may I stay here today and help Mr Oliver we are both Great Western and
must stand together certainly toad replied Douglas
and puffed away soon toad was explaining his plan goodness gracious toad I don't think you
should should suggest such a thing to Oliver but Oliver interrupted no duck Toad's right it's
really my fault I must put this trouble right I meant no disrespect you
understand of course not toad anyway driver says the same and he's arranged it with the station Master very well
Oliver conceded duck but I must hurry my passengers will be waiting good
luck so long smiled Oliver bravely but he felt dreadfully nervous in
inside Oliver marshaled the worst cars 2 by two that's the way Mr Oliver whispered
Toad and if you leave that scruffy till last then you'll have him behind you you can bump him if he starts his
[Music]
[Music] nonsense hold back hold back whispered
scruffy and pass the word to the others the silly cars
giggled but Oliver knew what to do there was plenty of sand on the rails and his
wheels gripped splendidly he gave a great heave o groaned scruffy I don't like
this go on yelled duck well done boy well done oh oh will
[Music] scruffy I'm coming
[Music] apart and he
did then there was trouble well Oliver so you don't know your own strength is
that it no no sir said said Oliver nervously satpam hat inspected scruffy as I
thought rottenwood Rusty frames maybe if we put you back together you'll earn
yourself a better
name nowadays Oliver only takes the cars when the other engines are busy but they're always quick to warn
each other take care with Mr Oliver if you play tricks on him you'll never be
the same car again scruffy has learned his lesson and says nothing at
all and so from then [Music]
on good [Music]
night hey schemy look who I got hey it's Sergeant arbar do your mommy know you
took him sh no quiet and nobody's going to know because we're going to put the dog inside the the

did he hasn't lost his touch I told him I'm too old for this if you say so there
are other things I want to do of course I'm growing up naturally does that mean
you're too old for a Thomas story too no well in that
case one evening Thomas brought his last train to the
junction Percy was glad to see him are you on your way to the big station
Thomas yes I am why because I'm going there too I think something's up Toby
looked up at the sky where not up there down here laughed
Thomas how can something be up when it's down Thomas was too excited to
explain bust my buffers look over there Mavis boo Bill Ben Donald Oliver
and Douglas paraded [Music] past gria you3 with Donald aren't we all
a fine sight very Splendid indeed admired Toby
sorry we can't stop sir toam hat wants us all together at the station what is
this about asked Thomas sir toam hat has a plan answered his driver come
on so they followed the other engines to the big station at the end of the [Music]
line silence called sir toam had I have an important letter to read from a
little girl who is 5 years old dear Thomas and all the engines please can I
meet you my friends say they would like to meet you too you could come to my house for tea but my mommy says there
aren't any railway tracks to my house can you come to the Station instead

that there are many girls and boys who would like to meet you therefore we are all going to the big city far
away hooray hooray the engines whistled
silence other engines will be working here while you are away so please show them what to
do as Annie and clarabel were going to the big city too Thomas and Oliver practiced with some other
[Music] coaches
Thomas grew more and more excited too excited for his own good I'm
glad I'm a splendid engine he pucked sir toam hat thinks I'm really useful I had
a race with birdie once I whooshed through the tunnel and stopped an inch from the
buffers then Thomas made his mistake just like this he
[Music] posted
[Music] no one was hurt but Thomas's front was
badly bent they telephoned to Sir toam hat
I'll send up the workmen he said but if they can't mend Thomas in time we'll have to go to the big city without
him poor Thomas 8:00 next morning the engines
waited at the junction Toby and Percy were each on a truck and duck had pushed them into
place behind Edward Gordon James and Henry were waiting to lead off they whistled
impatiently sir toam hat looked at his watch I'll wait one more minute for
Thomas then we have to [Music]
