Narrator: 1 fine lovely afternoon the manager came to the railroad station to see Thomas and his train engine friends."

Railroad Manager: “Hi there.”

Narrator: he said to Percy.

Railroad Manager: “Remember, Percy, don’t be impatient, you can never be just as strong and fast as Henry, but you can be a clever train engine, oh, and don’t let the crazy Freight Cars tease you.”

Narrator: There were a lot of Freight Cars and Percy worked very hard pushing and pulling them into place and there was also a little trailer and 2 familiar things his driver called the breakdown train.

Percy’s driver: “That’s the breakdown train, Percy.”

Narrator: his driver told him.

Percy’s driver: “It’s are for lifting heavy things, like train engines, coaches, and Freight Cars.”

Narrator: “The very next morning Percy was in the yard and suddenly he heard a familiar train engine whistling and shouting.”

Rosie: “Help me, help me!”

Narrator: A lavender train engine came rushing through much too fast, the train engine was Rosie and she was terrified, her brake blocks were on fire.

Rosie: “They’re pushing me they’re pushing me!”

Narrator: she panted.

Freight Cars: “On, on faster, faster!”

Narrator: the Freight Cars giggled in unison.

Narrator: Rosie was still whistling and shouting…….

Rosie: “Help me, help me!”

Narrator: Poor Rosie disappeared under the bridge and crashed right into a great big wall.

''CRASH! ''

Percy: “I would like to teach those Freight Cars a lesson.”

Narrator: said Percy.

Narrator: Then came the emergency alarm.

Signal Guard: “Rosie’s off the line, the breakdown train, hurry up!”

Narrator: Percy took the breakdown train and off they went.”

Percy: “Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!”

Narrator: he puffed, but he wasn’t pretending to be like Henry, he really meant it.

Percy: “Bother those Freight Cars and their pranks, I hope poor Rosie isn’t injured.”

Narrator: Rosie’s driver was feeling her all over to see if she was injured.”

Rosie’s driver: “Never mind that, Rosie.”

Narrator: she said to Rosie.

Rosie’s driver: “It wasn’t your entire fault, it was those brake blocks they gave you, we always knew they were no good.”

Narrator: Percy pushed the breakdown train alongside, then he pulled the non-injured Freight Cars outta the way.

Freight Cars: “Oh dear oh dear!"

Narrator: the Freight Cars groaned in unison.

Percy: “Serves you right serves you right!”

Narrator: said Percy.

Narrator: Percy was hard at work puffing frontwards and backwards all day long.

Percy: “This’ll teach you a lesson this’ll teach you a lesson.”

Narrator: She tried to move around, but she couldn’t, so Percy helped her back home.

Narrator: The manager was waiting excitingly for them.

Railroad Manager: “Well, Percy………”

Narrator: he said to Percy.

Railroad Manager: “We heard all about it, and we’re very pleased with you, you’re a very brave and heroic train engine, Rosie should have some proper brake blocks and a new coat of lavender paint, and you should have a branch line all to yourself.”

Percy: “Oh thanks, kind sir.”

Narrator: said Percy.

Narrator: Now Percy was as cheerful just as can be, he got a branch line and 2 coaches called Charlene and Katie, he puffed proudly frontwards and backwards with them all day long.
