Edward, Trevor and The Really Useful Party Transcript

Transcript

 * George Carlin: Trevor the Traction Engine was old-fashioned but he doesn't care. He knows that he is really useful, like his friend Edward the Blue Engine. Early one morning, Trevor was chuffing about the Vicarage Orchard. He had important news for Edward.
 * Trevor: The Vicar says that not all children are able to have holidays by the sea, so he's having a garden party to raise money for his seaside trip. I'm going to be the star attraction.
 * George Carlin: Chattered Trevor.
 * Trevor: Giving rides to all the visitors. The Vicar is putting up posters all about it.
 * Edward: I'd like to help too.
 * George Carlin: Sighed Edward.
 * Edward: But without my rails, I wouldn't be much good at the garden party.
 * George Carlin: It was a beautiful day but Edward was worried.
 * Edward: I wish there was something I can do for a party.
 * George Carlin: He said.
 * Edward: I'd like to be helpful like Trevor.
 * George Carlin: Edward's driver laughed.
 * Driver: You're helpful in your own way, and that's on the railway.
 * George Carlin: Next day, it was Trevor's turn to look disappointed. He had bad news.
 * Trevor: The Vicar's been so busy that he forgot to put up the posters. Now no one will know about the party.
 * George Carlin: But Edward had an idea.
 * Edward: Don't worry.
 * George Carlin: He said.
 * Edward: Everything is going to be all right.
 * George Carlin: Then he explained to his driver.
 * Edward: The Vicar can paste his posters on my cab and coaches, so wherever I go, they'll go too.
 * Driver: Well done, Edward.
 * George Carlin: Said his driver.
 * Driver: I'm sure Sir Topham Hatt would agree.
 * George Carlin: As indeed he did. Edward steamed happily to the stations collecting his passengers.
 * Passengers: Look!
 * George Carlin: They said.
 * Passengers: The Vicar is holding a party. We must go do that.
 * George Carlin: Later Trevor was resting in the orchard shed when Bertie rolled by.
 * Bertie: Hello, Trevor. Why are you dozing there like an old stick-in-the-mud?
 * Trevor: I'm not dozing, I'm resting.
 * George Carlin: Replied Trevor. Then he told Bertie about the Vicar's party.
 * Bertie: I'll be there too.
 * George Carlin: Boasted Bertie.
 * Bertie: I'm not sure people would wanna ride on an old traction engine after traveling in the smart red bus like me.
 * George Carlin: The party day arrived. It had rained heavenly during the night and the orchard grove was soaked.
 * Trevor: Rain and mud won't spoil my day.
 * George Carlin: Said Trevor.
 * Driver: No indeed.
 * George Carlin: Agreed his driver.
 * Driver: We'll stay on the road then we won't get bogged down.
 * George Carlin: Trevor was soon busy trending up and down the quiet country lane, carrying lots of laughing children. He was just turning the corner when he heard Bertie.
 * Bertie: Hello, old timer. I'm taking everyone to the party. People had come from all other the island.
 * George Carlin: Trevor gave Bertie a cheerful whistle, and turned backed toward the orchard. Then there was trouble.
 * Bertie: Help, I'm stuck!
 * George Carlin: Shouted Bertie. His wheels had sunk deep in the orchard mud. Terence the Tractor arrived just in time.
 * Terence: I'm the one who has to plough fields.
 * George Carlin: Laughed Terence.
 * Terence: We better get you out of here.
 * George Carlin: Using strong ropes, Terence and Trevor pulled Bertie cleared the mud.
 * Trevor: This will teach Bertie a thing or two.
 * George Carlin: Trevor chuffered to himself. At last, Bertie was on the road again.
 * Bertie: Thank you, Trevor. You're not a stick-in-the-mud at all.
 * Trevor: No.
 * George Carlin: Smiled Trevor.
 * Trevor: But you were. Just for a little while.
 * George Carlin: That evening, the Vicar arrived to see Edward and his driver.
 * Vicar: Thanks to your good idea about the posters. Hundreds of people payed to come to the party. We've raised lots of money for the children.
 * George Carlin: Edward was very pleased and Trevor fell happily asleep thinking of all the children who would now get to the seaside at last.
