00:00Thomas and a Birthday Picnic
00:04All the engines on the island of Sodor were very excited.
00:09The Fat Controller's mother was coming to the island to celebrate her birthday.
00:15The engines chuffed up and down to get ready for the big day.
00:22On the big day, the Fat Controller came to Tidmouth Sheds.
00:27I have decided to take my mother on a birthday picnic.
00:31I want to show her somewhere special.
00:34I can take you to Shen Valley, sir, tooted Thomas quickly.
00:38That is a very good idea, Thomas, beamed the Fat Controller.
00:45Later, Thomas puffed proudly into Knapford Station with Annie and Clarabel.
00:51He was very excited.
00:53Sir Topham Hatt, Lady Hatt and Dowager Hatt were waiting in their birthday best.
01:01The Station Master loaded the picnic baskets and the biggest birthday cake Thomas had ever seen.
01:09Thomas smiled, but the Fat Controller's mother wasn't smiling.
01:14She looked very stern.
01:17She made Thomas feel nervous.
01:21Just then, Percy chuffed into the Station.
01:25You'll have a wonderful time, peeped Percy.
01:29Thomas stopped feeling nervous.
01:31This was going to be the best birthday picnic ever.
01:38Thomas whooshed and wheeshed through the countryside.
01:42Annie and Clarabel clattered and chattered.
01:45Everyone was happy.
01:47Finally, they arrived at the beautiful Shen Valley.
01:52There were woods and streams and green fields.
01:56Thomas was sure the Fat Controller's mother would like this.
01:59It was the perfect place for a picnic.
02:03The Fat Controller, his wife and his mother looked at the fields.
02:08But they didn't smile.
02:10But they didn't smile.
02:13The fields had just been ploughed into thick brown mud.
02:18Cinders and ashes, cried Thomas.
02:21We can't picnic here, said the Fat Controller sternly.
02:24You'll have to have another idea, but hurry up.
02:27My mother's getting very hungry.
02:30Thomas thought very, very hard.
02:33And then he set off.
02:37Thomas pumped his pistons even harder to get to the other side of the island.
02:43He was puffing to the castle.
02:45This is my best idea yet, chuffed Thomas.
02:53At the castle station, the Fat Controller spoke to the station master.
02:57Thomas, said the Fat Controller.
03:00The castle is closed for redecoration and repairs.
03:04Please have another idea and be quick about it.
03:09So Thomas set off from the castle.
03:15He rocked and he rolled.
03:18He huffed and he puffed.
03:21The Fat Controller, his wife and his mother were bounced and bumped inside the carriage.
03:27Thomas went faster and faster, trying to have another idea.
03:32The Fat Controller leaned out of the window.
03:35Enough, Thomas, he boomed. Stop!
03:38Thomas huffed to a halt.
03:43Where are you taking us now?
03:46I don't know, peeped Thomas sadly.
03:49I've run out of ideas.
03:51Then we will have to cancel the birthday picnic, boomed the Fat Controller.
03:55It's too late. Lunchtime has passed and my mother wants to go home.
04:00Thomas hoped he'd have another idea before he got to Knapford.
04:07But as he pulled in, not one idea had dropped into his funnel.
04:13The Fat Controller, his wife and his mother got off the train.
04:18And with a low toot, Thomas chuffed sadly back to Tidmouth.
04:29When Thomas got back to the sheds, the other engines were waiting.
04:34They had heard that Thomas's good ideas had gone wrong.
04:38Nothing went right, moaned Thomas sadly.
04:42Don't worry, peeped Percy cheerfully.
04:45I'm sure the Fat Controller's mother enjoyed the cake.
04:48The cake, gasped Thomas.
04:51I steamed off before they could unload it.
04:54Now the Fat Controller's mother won't even be able to have her birthday tea.
04:59Thomas let out a big whoosh of steam.
05:02Maybe if I think hard enough, said Thomas, another idea will come.
05:08Of course it will, peeped Percy.
05:12Percy wanted to whistle cheerfully, but his whistle wasn't working.
05:16It was blocked with quarry dust.
05:18Blow hard, Percy, like this, said Gordon, and he blew a long low note.
05:25I find two toots better, chirped Emily, and she gave two high toots.
05:31No, no, no, slow and strong is always best, tooted Henry.
05:37That's it, Thomas toot-tooted. Our whistles!
05:42The other engines were puzzled, Thomas beamed.
05:46I've had another idea.
05:49The Fat Controller, his wife and his mother were sitting sadly in the living room.
05:54When the stationmaster rang, they were all to go to Knapford Station.
05:59Thomas and the other engines had a special surprise.
06:05When they arrived at Knapford, they could hardly believe their eyes.
06:10There was bunting and balloons, fine food and the birthday cake.
06:18Thomas gave one toot, and then, one after the other,
06:23the engines hooted and tooted, whistled and blew happy birthday to you.
06:30And for the first time all day, the Fat Controller's mother smiled from ear to ear.
06:40WHISTLING
06:46This is the best birthday picnic ever, smiled our jahat.
06:51Thomas, boomed the Fat Controller, this is your best idea yet.
06:56Thomas was delighted.
