Transcript

 * Narrator: One day, Norman wanted to rest. But The Barber was talking to some engines. He was telling them about the time he had braved bad weather to save The Policeman.
 * The Barber: It was raining hard. Water swelled under my hair. I couldn't see where I was going, but I struggled on.
 * Dodge: Oh The Barber, You are brave!
 * The Barber: Well, It wasn't anything really. Water is nothing to a Barber with determination.
 * Splatter: Tell us more, The Barber!
 * Norman: What are you Purple and Green Diesel and a Barber doing here? This shed is for Diesel's Policemen. Go away!
 * Norman: Silly Things!
 * The Barber: They are not silly.
 * Narrator: The Barber had been enjoying himself.
 * Norman: They are silly and so are you! "Water is nothing to a Barber with determination" Huh!
 * The Barber: Anyway.
 * Narrator: Said The Cheeky Barber.
 * The Barber: I'm not afraid of water. I like it!
 * Narrator: He ran off to the harbour singing: Was an engine attached to a train, was afraid of a few drops of rain.
 * Norman: No one ever lets me forget the time I wouldn't come out of the tunnel in case the rain spoilt my paint.
 * Narrator: Hufffed Norman.
 * Narrator: The Angry Policeman was looking at a board on the key.
 * The Angry Policeman: Danger! We mustn't go past it! That's orders!
 * The Barber: Why?
 * The Angry Policeman: Danger means falling down something. I went past danger once. And fell down a mine.
 * The Barber: I can't see a mine.
 * Narrator: He didn't know that the foundations of the key had sunk. Roads now slumped down to the sea.
 * The Barber: Stupid Board
 * Narrator: Said The Barber.
 * Narrator: The Barber made a plan.
 * Narrator: One day he whispered to the Coaches.
 * The Barber: Would give me a bump when we get to the key?
 * Narrator: The Coaches had never been asked to bump a Barber before. They giggled and chattered about it.
 * The Barber: The animator doesn't know my plan.
 * Narrator: Chuckled The Barber.
 * The Coaches: On, On, On!
 * Narrator: Laughed the Coaches.
 * Narrator: The Barber thought they were helping him.
 * The Barber: I'll pretend to stop at the barber shop and the Coaches will push me pass the board. Then, I'll make them stop. I can do that whenever I like.
 * Narrator: Every wise Barber knows that you cannot trust Coaches.
 * Coaches: Go on! Go on!
 * Narrator: And bumped The Barber's Animators of the footplate.
 * The Barber: Oh!
 * Narrator. Said The Barber sliding pass the board. The Barber was frantic.
 * The Barber: That's enough!
 * (SPLASH!)
 * Narrator: The Barber was sunk.
 * Diesel: You are a very disobedient Barber!
 * Narrator: The Barber knew that voice.
 * The Barber: Please Diesel! Get me out Diesel! I'm truly sorry Diesel!
 * Diesel: No The Barber. We cannot do that until high tide. I hope it will teach you to obey orders.
 * The Barber: Yes Sir.
 * Narrator: It was dark when they brought floating cranes to rescue The Barber. He was to cold and stiff to move by himself.
 * Narrator: Next day he was sent to do works on Norman's Goods Train.
 * Norman: Well, Well, Well...
 * Narrator. Chuckled Norman.
 * Norman: Did you like the Water?
 * The Barber: No.
 * Norman: I am surprised. You need more determination, The Barber. Water is nothing to a Barber with determination, You know? Perhaps you will like it better next time.
 * Narrator: The Barber is quite determined. But there will be no next time.
