00:00A brand new tank engine was racing across the island of Sodor.
00:06He was very excited, and he didn't want to be late.
00:17Right on time, said the Fat Controller.
00:20Thomas and Percy looked at the big tank engine. He was very smart.
00:26This is Arthur, said the Fat Controller. He's here to shunt trucks and pull freight.
00:32Nice to meet you, puffed Arthur politely.
00:35And he's got a spotless record, the Fat Controller added.
00:39Er, what's a spotless record? whispered Percy.
00:43It means he's never been naughty or made a mess, replied Thomas.
00:50The three engines were soon at work.
00:53Thomas and Percy were bumping trucks.
00:56They knew this was naughty, but they were having fun.
01:01Join in, Arthur, said Thomas.
01:04No, thank you, wished the new engine. He'd never been naughty before.
01:09Arthur's first job was to push a trainload of fruit to market.
01:13The trucks started to sing.
01:15A root to toe, we want to go, the fruit's going off because you're too slow.
01:20How rude, huffed Arthur.
01:23This gave Thomas a naughty idea.
01:26The Fat Controller doesn't like the trucks singing, said Thomas.
01:29You must stop them.
01:31Thank you, said Arthur. I will.
01:35Arthur was glad he could keep the trucks in order.
01:39He'll never stop the trucks from singing, laughed Thomas.
01:45Arthur chuffed cheerfully through the countryside.
01:49Soon the trucks started singing again.
01:52Chug, chug, chuff, you tug and huff, but you're so rusty you can't even puff.
01:57Stop singing, huffed Arthur. Trucks should do as they're told.
02:03The troublesome trucks were cross.
02:06If they couldn't sing, they would teach Arthur a lesson instead.
02:13We'll show him, they giggled. He can't push us around.
02:17Arthur struggled over bridges.
02:22And he huffed and puffed through tunnels.
02:27He came over the top of a big hill.
02:30You can't catch us, laughed the trucks.
02:34Weesh!
02:36But there was trouble ahead.
02:38Duck had stopped at the crossing at the bottom of the hill.
02:41Arthur's driver applied the brakes, but it was too late.
02:47Squashed fruit flew everywhere.
02:57Arthur was upset.
02:59His spotless record was ruined.
03:06Beep, beep! What a mess, puffed Thomas.
03:10The Fat Controller was very annoyed.
03:14What happened here?
03:16The trucks were singing. I told them to stop, but they made me go too fast.
03:23Please, sir, it's my fault.
03:25Thomas told the Fat Controller what he had done.
03:28Arthur, it's fruitless for me to say more, but Thomas, you must help clear up this mess.
03:37Harvey arrived with the breakdown crane.
03:43He could see there was a lot of work to be done.
03:53Everyone worked hard and Thomas took the loaded trucks away.
03:59That evening, Arthur was having the squashed fruit cleaned out of his funnel.
04:05I'm sorry I played a trick on you, said Thomas.
04:08Thanks for owning up to it, replied Arthur.
04:11Maybe spotless records are made to be broken, smiled Thomas.
04:15And then mended again, finished Arthur.
04:18Just as he was about to leave, the truck stopped.
04:22Spotless records are made to be broken, smiled Thomas.
04:25And then mended again, finished Arthur.
04:28Just like friendships.
