Granpony
Narrator: One winter's night, when the cold wind blew, the engines found it hard to sleep.

Skarloey: What we need...

Narrator: Suggested Skarloey,

Skarloey: Is to listen to a story.

Peter Sam: Yes.

Narrator: Said Peter Sam.

Peter Sam: A mysterious story.

Freddie: But,

Narrator: Added Freddie,

Freddie: It must have a happy ending.

Sir Handel: Driver told me a story,

Narrator: Said Sir Handel, so everyone listened.

Sir Handel: Once upon a time,

Narrator: Began Sir Handel.

Sir Handel: There were three big engines, who lived in their own big shed on their own big railway. Their names were Gordon, Percy and Thomas. Gordon was the oldest, and was named after his grace. He was proud of this, and liked to keep the little engines in order.

Whenever they did anything that Gordon thought wrong, he would say,

Gordon: That would never suit his grace.

Sir Handel: Other engines came and went, but Gordon outlasted them all.

Percy and Thomas used to call him 'Granpuff'. They were fond of him, but they got very tired of hearing all about 'his grace'.

Sometimes they would tease him and chant,

Thomas and Percy: Engines come and Engines go, Granpuff goes on forever.

Gordon: You impertinent scallywags!

Sir Handel: Gordon would say.

Gordon: Whatever are you engines coming to?

Percy: Never mind, Granpuff. We're only young once.

Gordon: Well, you better mind. Unless you want to end up like Diesel.

Thomas: Oh, Granpuff? What ever happened?

Gordon: Diesel,

Sir Handel: Said Gordon,

Gordon: Was a show-off!

He rode roughly and often came off the rails.

I warned him to be careful, but he took no notice.

Diesel: Listen, Gordy,

Gordon: He snarled.

Diesel: Who worries about a few spills?

Gordon: 'We do here,' I said, but Diesel just laughed.

Diesel: He he he he he!

Gordon: Until one day, manager said he was going to make him useful at last. Diesel stopped laughing then.

Percy: Well, why? What did he do?

Gordon: He turned him into a generator. He's still out there behind our shed. He'll never move again.

Sir Handel: After that, Percy and Thomas became really useful engines, and all three were happy together for many years.

Then, hard times came. The mines in the hills closed, and the railway was closed, too. People came to buy the engines.

Passengers: We'll take Percy and Thomas.

Sir Handel: No one wanted Gordon. They thought him 'Too old'.

Percy: Cheer up, Granpuff.

Sir Handel: Called Percy.

Percy: We'll find you a nice railway, and then you can come and keep us in order.

Sir Handel: They tried to be brave and cheerful, but no one really thought their dreams would come true

Gordon's driver and fireman oiled and greased him one last time. They sheeted him snugly, and said good-bye. Then they had to go away and find work. Gordon was alone.

Gordon: Oh, well.

Sir Handel: He sighed.

Gordon: I'll go to sleep. It'll help to pass the time.

Sir Handel: Winter torrents washed soil from the hills. Trees and bushes grew all around. You wouldn't have known a shed was there, let alone a big engine asleep inside.

Peter Sam: That's not a happy ending!

Narrator: Cried Peter Sam.

Sir Handel: Ah,

Narrator: Murmured Sir Handel.

Sir Handel: There will be one, but that will have to wait until next time.

Sleeping Beauty
Narrator: It was a beautiful night on the Island of Sodor. The day's work was done and the engines puffed safely home.

Peter Sam: Sir Handel,

Narrator: Whispered Peter Sam.

Peter Sam: Will you tell us the end of the story?

Sir Handel: You mean the one about Gordon the Big Engine?

Rusty: Exactly.

Narrator: Said Rusty.

Duncan: But please remind us of the story so far.

Narrator: So Sir Handel began and here is the rest of the story he told.

Sir Handel: Gordon was old and lived with two young engines called Percy and Thomas. They teased Gordon and called him 'Granpuff', but they were happy together.

Then, their line was closed down and the young engines went away. Gordon was left alone in the shed. He went to sleep and everything around him changed. But Gordon was never forgotten.

Years went by until one day not long ago, visitors came to see Mr. Percival.

Visitors: We want to find Gordon.

Sir Handel: They said.

Visitors: And make him happy again.

Sir Handel: Maps layed everywhere.

Visitors: If we follow the old line shown here on the map.

Sir Handel: They said.

Visitors: We'll travel north of the village and then into the mountains. And look! There's the sign for the old station. If Gordon's anywhere, he's there.

Sir Handel: Everyone set off to the mountains far away.

The days went by, the search grew harder, but the rescuers wouldn't give up.

Visitors: Let's go this way.

Sir Handel: They said.

But there was still no sign of Gordon.

Visitors: He's here somewhere.

Sir Handel: They said. They scrambled over hills, struggled over ditches

At last their search ended, quite by accident.

(Crash!)

Visitors: We found him! We found our sleeping beauty!

Gordon: Excuse me?

Sir Handel: Enquired Gordon.

Gordon: Are you a vandal? Driver told me vandals break and smash things.

Visitors: Bless you, no.

Sir Handel: Laughed the rescuers.

Visitors: We dropped in because we couldn't find your door. Thomas and Percy will be pleased to see you.

Gordon: So they did remember.

Sir Handel: Sighed Gordon happily.

Then they all set off for Gordon's new home.

Percy and Thomas were ready with a big welcome.

Thomas and Percy: He's here.

Sir Handel: They whispered.

Thomas and Percy: Sh! Sh!

Gordon: You woke me up.

Spike: Grumbled Randolph.

Gordon: In my young days, engines were...

Percy: Seen and not heard, Granpuff, we know.

Thomas: We're all be back at work tomorrow. We're glad you've come back. We can keep you in order now.

Gordon: Keep me in order? Be off with you! Impertinent scallywags!

Sir Handel: But Gordon's old eyes twinkled, and for the first time in years, he smiled as he dozed in the sun.

And that...

Narrator: Said Sir Handel.

Sir Handel: ...is the whole story. Did you like it?

Other Engines: Yes indeed.

Narrator: Agreed the engines.

Other Engines: Especially the happy ending.

Narrator: And soon, they were all asleep too.
