Daisy's Devious Deed

Narrator: "Daisy, the new diesel engine, was sulking."

Freight Cars: Cars are waiting in the yard, tackling them with lazy, show the world what I can do, gaily boasts the Daisy, in and out she creeps about, like a big, green crazy, when he pulls the wrong cars out, pop goes the Daisy!

Narrator: "The Freight Cars would not stop singing rudely at her.

Lady was horrified."

Lady: "Shut up!"

Narrator: "She ordered, and bumped them real hard."

Lady: "I'm sorry the Freight Cars were rude to you, Daisy."

Narrator: "Daisy was still furious."

Daisy: "It's all your fault! You made them laugh at me!"

Emily: "Nonsense."

Narrator: "Said Emily."

Emily: "Lady would never do that. We engines have our differences, but we'd never talk about them to the Freight Cars. That would be dis... dis..."

Madge: "Disgraceful!"

Narrator: "Said Madge."

Isobella: "Disgusting!"

Narrator: "Put in Isobella."

Emily: "Despicable!"

Narrator: "Finished Emily.

Daisy hated Lady. She wanted her to be sent away, so she made a plan; she was going to tell lies about Lady.

Next day, she spoke to the Freight Cars."

Daisy: "I see you like jokes. You made a good joke about me yesterday, I laughed and laughed. Lady told me one about Madge. I'll whisper it.

Don't tell Madge I told you."

Narrator: "And she snickered away."

Freight Cars: "Ha ha ha!"

Narrator: "Guffawed the Freight Cars."

Freight Cars: "Madge will be cross with Lady when she knows.

Let's tell her and get back at Lady for bumping us!"

Narrator: "They laughed rudely at the engines as they went by.

Soon, Madge, Emily, and Isobella found out why."

Madge: "Disgraceful!"

Narrator: "Said Madge."

Isobella: "Disgusting!"

Narrator: "Said Isobella."

Emily: "Despicable!"

Narrator: "Said Emily."

Emily, Madge, and Isobella: "We cannot allow it!"

Narrator: "They consulted together."

Emily, Madge, and Isobella: "Yes,"

Narrator: "They said."

Emily, Madge, and Isobella: "She did it to us, we'll do it to her, and see how she likes it!"

Narrator: "Lady was tired out.

The Freight Cars had been cheeky and troublesome.

She wanted a rest in the shed.

The three engines barred her way."

Isobella: "Keep out!"

Lady: "Stop fooling!"

Narrator: "Said Lady."

Lady: "I'm tired!"

Emily, Madge, and Isobella: "So are we."

Narrator: "Hissed the engines."

Emily, Madge, and Isobella: "We are tired of you. We like Daisy. We don't like you. You tell tales about us to the cars."

Lady: "I don't!"

Emily, Madge, and Isobella: "You do!"

Lady: "I don't!

Emily, Madge, and Isobella: "You do!"

Narrator: "Lady Hatt came to stop the noise."

Madge:  "Lady called me a galloping sausage!"

Narrator: "Spluttered Madge."

Isobella: "Rusty yellow scrap iron!"

Narrator: "Put in Isobella."

Emily: "I'm old square wheels."

Narrator: "Fumed Emily."

Lady Hatt: "Well, Lady?"

Narrator: "Lady considered."

Lady: "I only wish, ma'am."

Narrator: "She said gravely,"

Lady: "That I'd thought of those names myself. If the dome fits..."

Lady Hatt: "Ahem..."

Emily, Madge, and Isobella: "She made Freight Cars laugh at us!"

Narrator: "Accused the engines.

Lady Hatt recovered. She'd been trying not to laugh herself."

Lady Hatt: "Did you, Lady?"

Lady: "Certainly not, ma'am. No engine twould be as mean as that!"

Narrator: "Daisy lurked up."

Lady Hatt: "Now, Daisy, you heard what Lady said."

Daisy: "I can't understand it, ma'am. To think that Lady, of all engines... I'm dreadfully grieved, ma'am, but know nothing."

Lady Hatt: "I see."

Narrator: "Said Lady Hatt.

Daisy squirmed, and hoped she didn't."

Lady Hatt: "I'm sorry, Lady, but you must go to Molly's station for a while. I know she will be glad to see you."

Lady: "As you wish, ma'am."

Narrator: "Lady trundled sadly away, while Daisy smirked with triumph."
