00:00Thomas and the Storyteller
00:05It was an important day on the island of Sodom.
00:10A new library was going to be opened.
00:13Everyone was excited.
00:15There was going to be a ceremony
00:17with a brass band, a red carpet,
00:20and boxes and boxes of books.
00:23All the children and all the grown-ups loved reading books
00:27and listening to stories.
00:29A famous storyteller was going to tell the children
00:33a special story.
00:37All the engines wanted to collect the famous storyteller,
00:40but the Fat Controller chose Thomas.
00:43Thomas was excited.
00:45You must show the famous storyteller
00:48the special sights of Sodom.
00:51Then she can make up a special story.
00:54She must arrive at the grand opening on time.
00:58Yes, sir, tooted Thomas excitedly.
01:01I know all the best sights.
01:05Thomas puffed over to Brendam Docks.
01:08He wanted to do a good job.
01:12Thomas arrived at the docks.
01:16He looked all around for someone famous,
01:20but all he could see was a lady with a notepad
01:24and a big box of biscuits.
01:26Are you the famous storyteller? Thomas asked.
01:30I like to think so, said the lady.
01:33You must be Thomas the Tank Engine.
01:35Will you please show me the sights of Sodor?
01:38Of course, tooted Thomas happily.
01:42So the famous storyteller hopped on to Thomas's footplate,
01:47and Thomas puffed away.
01:52Pirate's Cove is not far from here.
01:55I shall take you there first, whistled Thomas.
01:59Pirate's Cove was full of caves and secret tunnels.
02:03Legend had it that pirates used to bury their treasure there.
02:07You could make up a jolly good story about pirate treasure,
02:12wished Thomas happily.
02:14But on his way there, Thomas saw James.
02:18James was in trouble.
02:21My coupling rod has snapped and I'm a guaranteed connection.
02:26My passengers have to arrive at Maithwaite Station on time.
02:31I'm sorry, Thomas puffed to the famous storyteller.
02:35I cannot take you to Pirate's Cove.
02:38I have to help my friend.
02:45So Thomas buffered up to James and his passenger train
02:50and chuffed away.
02:53Thank you, Thomas, cried James.
02:59Thomas arrived at Maithwaite just in time.
03:05The ruined castle is just over the hill,
03:08said Thomas to the famous storyteller.
03:11Now I will take you there.
03:15Thomas puffed as fast as he could.
03:21The ruined castle had tall turrets and a great big door.
03:27The old kings and queens of Sodor used to live there.
03:31You could make up a jolly good story about kings and queens,
03:35puffed Thomas happily.
03:37But on his way there, Thomas saw Emily in a siding.
03:41Thomas saw Emily in a siding.
03:43She was looking sad.
03:45She was taking flour to the bakery but her whistle had broken.
03:50It wasn't safe to work without it.
03:52I'm sorry, puffed Thomas to the famous storyteller.
03:56I cannot take you to the ruined castle.
03:59I have to help my friend.
04:03So Thomas buffered up to Emily and took her to the bakery.
04:08Thank you, Thomas, cried Emily.
04:17Thomas arrived at the bakery just in time.
04:21Emily was pleased and Thomas puffed away.
04:28Misty Valley is not far from here, chuffed Thomas.
04:32Now I will take you there.
04:36He had heard Misty Valley was full of magic.
04:41You could make up a jolly good story about magic, puffed Thomas.
04:47But on his way, Thomas saw Percy, a rich man.
04:53But on his way, Thomas saw Percy, a river had flooded its banks.
04:59Percy was up to his buffers in water and his firebox had gone out.
05:05I'm sorry, whistled Thomas to the famous storyteller.
05:09I cannot take you to Misty Valley.
05:12I have to help my friend.
05:14Thomas chuffed into the water.
05:18The water came right up to his footplate.
05:22The famous storyteller had to stand on her box of biscuits to keep her feet dry.
05:28Thomas bravely buffered up to Percy and he pushed his friend out.
05:35Thank you, Thomas, cried Percy.
05:40But now it was time to go to the grand opening and Thomas was late.
05:46Cinders and ashes, whistled Thomas.
05:49I haven't had time to show any sights at all.
06:00Thomas arrived at the new library station.
06:04The Fat Controller was waiting.
06:07We didn't visit any sights, puffed Thomas sadly.
06:12I had to take James's passengers to Maithwaite Station,
06:16Emily's flower to the bakery and pull Percy out of the water.
06:21But it's a wonderful idea for a story, cried the famous storyteller.
06:26I shall write all about your day, Thomas, and how you helped your friends.
06:32She was very excited.
06:36She cut the red ribbon in front of the new library and declared it open.
06:44Then the children and the engines all listened as the famous storyteller
06:50told them the story of her wonderful adventures with Thomas
06:54and his friends on the magical island of Sodor.
