Transcript
Narrator: It was a sunny day on the Island of Sodor. Henry, Edward and Percy were talking about accidents at Tidmouth Sheds they've had when Samson came by to pick up some trucks.

Henry: I've had some pretty nasty accidents over the years, but one accident I'll never forget was when I crashed into a goods train while pulling the Flying Kipper. That was when Sir Topham Hatt sent me to Crewe for a re-built.

Edward: Well, I remember the time a ship's boiler hit me at Brendam Docks, and I almost missed out on taking the Brass Band to their concert.

Percy: And I still remember when I crashed into Mr. Jolly's Chocolate Factory due to some oily rails, and I got covered in sticky chocolate.

Samson: A goods train? A ship's boiler? And a chocolate factory! Wow! Hmmm... I don't think I've ever had an accident before.

Narrator: Later, Samson met up with Thomas at Knapford Station.

Samson: Hello, Thomas. If you don't mind me asking this, have you ever had accidents before?

Thomas: Oh yes, Samson. I still remember that time I crashed into the stationmaster's house when I thought I didn't need my driver anymore. And then there's that time I came off the rails at a difficult bend when a new station was being built.

Samson: Ha! I've never had accidents before. I think I'm the most perfect engine ever.

Thomas: (Chuckles) Really? What about the time you accidentally took Gordon's express coaches to the Blue Mountain Quarry? And then there was the time you thought Sir Topham Hatt's car was scrap.

Narrator: Samson felt annoyed. He said nothing as he puffed away.

Samson (to himself): Okay, so I'm not the most perfect engine ever. But I still have never had any accidents, and I probably never will.

Narrator: A few days later, Sir Topham Hatt came to see Samson.

Sir Topham Hatt: Samson, Arthur needs help with a big delivery of fish. You must help deliver fish around the island.

Samson: Right away, sir.

Narrator: When Samson arrived at the Fishing Village, he could not believe his eyes. There were lots of vans being filled with fish.

Samson: It maybe smelly work, but at least I'll being really useful.

Arthur: Hello. You must be Samson. I'm Arthur. I run this line.

Samson: And I was sent to help you deliver fish around the island.

Arthur: Be careful with these vans, Samson. They're the most troublesome ones on the line.

Samson: I know how to manage troublesome trucks, Arthur. Don't worry.

Narrator: Unfortunately for Samson, the trucks had overheard him. And they decided to teach Samson a lesson. Samson made good time with his fish deliveries.

Samson: Sir Topham Hatt must have known I was the best engine for the job. I mean, I've had no trouble so far, and I'm sure I won't have any trouble at all for the rest of the journey.

Narrator: But when Samson reached Gordon's Hill, the trucks decided to start their fun.

Troublesome Trucks (whispering to each other): Hold back.

Samson: Oh no you don't! I'll get you trucks over this hill if it takes me all day. (Grunting)

Troublesome Trucks: On, on, on!

Samson: What? Noooo!

Narrator: The trucks pushed Samson down the hill as hard as they could. Samson was going faster than he ever had before. And his brakes weren't strong enough to control the trucks. Then there was trouble; some trucks had been buckled by the hot sun. It made the tracks bumpy.

Samson: No! No! (Slow motion) Noooo!

(Samson hits the bumpy tracks and derails in slow motion)

Narrator: No one was hurt, but Samson and his trucks were off the rails, and a strong smell of fish hung in the air.

Samson: Oh! What a pong!

Narrator: Rosie was sent to take Rocky to clear the mess.

Rosie: Are you alright, Samson?

Samson: No, but I'll be happy if I can get back onto the rails, and have the smell of fish washed off me.

Rocky: (Chuckles) You look like you went fishing, Samson.

Narrator: Sir Topham Hatt arrived as well, looking rather cross.

Sir Topham Hatt: Samson, I know the buckled tracks weren't your fault, but you should have listened to Arthur when he was warning you about the vans being troublesome.

Samson: Yes, sir. Sorry, sir. Will listen to other engines from now on, sir.

Sir Topham Hatt: I hope you actually mean it this time.

Samson: Yes, sir. I'm not as perfect as I thought I was. Every engine has accidents, and that includes me. And I would rather deliver fish, and not play with them.

(Everyone laughs, even Samson)
