Transcript
Narrator: It was Christmastime in TVland. And everywhere in the land was busy. Everywhere expect for the Big Harbour. It was usually closed for the winter, so the tugboats didn't have any loads to take. Despite that, some people still wanted to see the engines in the winter. So sometimes, Theodore and his friends will come out of the sheds for people to see them.

Baddeck: I'm glad we can still come out of the sheds, even though we're not usually working at this time of the year.

Theodore: Yeah, it's too bad we don't have a Christmas tree by our sheds. I've heard most sheds on the land have one.

George: Maybe I can find a tree for our shed.

Guysborough: You?

George: Yes.

Guysborough: But our harbour is closed for the winter, and there really aren't any good trees by the line for a Christmas tree.

George: What if I try looking elsewhere?

Digby: How are you going to look for trees elsewhere, George?

George: I'll ask one of the bigger engines if they can take me to find a tree? I'll ask the next engine that comes into the station.

(Wade arrives at the port)

George: Wade, can you help me with something, please?

Narrator: Soon, RS Mr. Conductor and Mighty Moe arrived to lift George onto a flatbed. Wade was going to take him to find a Christmas tree.

George: Thank you all for helping me. I don't suppose any of you know where I can find a good Christmas tree for our port, do you?

RS Mr. Conductor: Why don't you try Misty Island, George? They have some trees that are perfect for Christmas trees. I've collected Christmas trees from there a few times before.

George: Thanks, RS Conductor. Please take me to Misty Island, Wade.

Wade: Um... okay.

Narrator: But as they traveled along, Wade was nervous.

Wade: George, I've never been to Misty Island, but I've heard other engines say that it's a strange place.

George: I'm sure it'll be fine, Wade. Just give it a try.

Narrator: They soon passed through the search and rescue centre, went through the tunnel and arrived on Misty Island.

Booker: Hi, there!

Sheldon: Welcome to Misty Island! I'm Sheldon.

Booker: I'm Booker.

Cletus: I'm Cletus Spuckler.

Brandine: And I'm his wife Brandine.

George: Hello. I'm George, and I'm a harbour tugboat.

Wade: And my name is Wade. I've heard about this place. It looks a bit strange to me.

Cletus: Misty Island is not strange. It may seem different from TVland, but the sights are just as good.

George: I'm looking for a Christmas tree for my port on the Big Harbour.

Booker: Well, we might be able to help you with that.

Wade: No, thanks. We can find a tree ourselves. We'll find one and be out of here in no time.

George: Wade, wait! What are you doing?

Wade: I don't like this place at all. I just want us to find a tree and head back to TVland as quickly as possible.

Narrator: Wade was so worried about being on Misty Island for the first time that he raced around the island very fast. He passed from good trees, but George was unable to find one that he liked.

George: Wade, you need to stop. I can't have a good look at the trees we've passed.

Wade: I... I... think I know a good tree that you can use for your port.

Narrator: So Wade stopped by a little tree.

George: You're joking, right? That's not a good Christmas tree. We need one that's bigger than that.

Wade: Okay, okay. I may know another tree that we can take.

Narrator: As Wade raced along again, he decided to shut his eyes.

Wade: This island won't be so strange if I just close my eyes and not open them again until we leave.

George: What? Wade? You need to watch where you're going.

Narrator: Then they came to a junction where the points were switched a siding. And then there was trouble.

George: Wade! The siding!

Wade: (opens his eyes) What? Oh my!

(Wade breaks hard, but bumps into the buffers)

Narrator: Luckily, no one was hurt, but George was very upset.

George: Wade, I came here to find a tree for my friends, not to race around with you.

Wade: I'm truly sorry, George, but I didn't want to be on Misty Island for long because I was a bit scared.

George: But you're not alone. I was with you. And the logging characters could have helped us. Does Misty Island really seem strange when friends are with you?

Wade: You know, you're right. It doesn't seem so scary when I have friends by my side.

(The logging characters arrive)

Brandine: What happened here?

Wade: It's kind of a long story, but I was trying to find George a good Christmas tree. I'm sorry if I was rude to you earlier, but can you please help us?

Cletus: Of course. Just follow us, and we'll lead you to the best Christmas trees on Misty Island.

Narrator: So Wade and George followed Cletus, Booker, Sheldon and Brandine.

Wade: You know, when you take your time and see all the sights here, Misty Island really is a nice place to visit. I do like it here after all.

George: So your eyes are wide open, Wade?

Wade: Indeed they are, George.

Narrator: At last, they found the perfect tree.

George: Thank you all for your help.

Booker: You're welcome, George. If you can, please come back to Misty Island.

George: I'll try. And if you can, please visit us at the Big Harbour Port. That's the where our harbour starts. Oh, and merry Christmas.

Sheldon: Merry Christmas to you as well!

Narrator: When Wade and George arrived back at Kirk Machan station, the mountain engines were glad to see them and their Christmas tree.

Foduck: That's a very nice tree.

Hank: Yes. Thank you, George. And thank you, Wade.

George: You're welcome. We had a good time, didn't we Wade?

Wade: Well, I was a bit scared at first, but I did enjoy myself in the end.

Narrator: The tree was soon decorated.

Theodore: That's the best Christmas tree I've ever seen!

Guysborough: Here, here! Thanks again, George. You've a very good tree finder.

George: Who wants to sing a Christmas carol?

(All the vessels hoots in delight)

Foduck, Hank, Theodore, Baddeck, Guysboroguh, George and Digby: We wish you a Merry Christmas! We wish you a Merry Christmas! We wish you a Merry Christmas! And a Happy New Year!
