00:00Arthur loves working on the island of Sodor. He is new to the railway and is still learning
00:11his way around. One morning he discovered the fishing village. The sun made the water
00:24sparkle and the seagulls called across the harbour. This was Arthur's favourite place.
00:33That evening the fat controller came to the shed. There's going to be a new line to the
00:38fishing village. I have to decide which engine is going to run it. He paused impressively.
00:46Thomas and Percy looked away. They had enough work to do. Arthur hoped he would be chosen.
00:52Thomas, you will work on the new line. Yes sir, said Thomas, but he really didn't like the smell
01:00of fish. Arthur was disappointed. The fat controller sent him to haul coal to the steelworks.
01:07That evening Thomas was at the washdown when Arthur puffed in. Do I smell a fishy engine? He
01:17teased. Yes, huffed Thomas. Smelly fish, smelly new line. Arthur wished he could go to the fishing
01:24village instead of the steelworks. He'd be much happier than Thomas. The next morning Thomas was
01:36still grumpy. The fishermen had caught lots of fish. Hurry up, said Thomas. I'm a busy engine
01:46and a fussy one too, said the fishermen. Just enjoy the fresh salty smell of the fish, puffed Thomas.
01:54Thomas steamed as fast as he could along the line, but there was trouble ahead. Some faulty points
02:04sent his trucks one way and Thomas onto the old pier rail. The trucks were delighted. He's fallen
02:18in the water. Luckily Thomas wasn't hurt and the fish truck stayed on the tracks. When the fat
02:26controller heard the news he checked his timetable. Arthur is the nearest engine. I'll send him right
02:32away. It was a hot day. The ice that was keeping the fish cold started to melt. I hope someone comes
02:42quickly, moaned Thomas. That fish will go off soon. Arthur was surprised to see Thomas in the tidal
02:52pool. Are you all right, Thomas? No, but I'll be much better when you take these fish away. The
03:00breakdown van will be here soon, called Arthur's driver. Arthur knew he had to hurry. He raced along
03:16the line to the docks and arrived there just in time. Later, Arthur went to see Thomas at the
03:29fitters yard. Thank you for helping me, said Thomas. Thank you, said Arthur. I wish I had the
03:37fishing village line all the time. Then tell the fat controller because I don't like fish. That
03:46evening the fat controller came to the shed. I need an engine to go to the fishing village
03:51while Thomas is being repaired, he said. Any volunteers? Me, Arthur blurted out. And please, sir, may I run on that
04:00line all the time? Thomas doesn't like fish, but I do. Then the line is yours, said the fat controller.
04:07Arthur was delighted. The next morning he puffed into the fishing village right on time. The smell
04:20of fish was everywhere, but he was sure he had the most beautiful line on the island of Sodor.
