00:00Emily knows best.
00:05The island of Sodor has many beautiful sights.
00:09There are green fields and hills,
00:12and many beautiful castles.
00:19The engines of Sodor love to visit them all.
00:24One day, Emily was dropping visitors at the ruined castle.
00:28Once upon a time, a queen had lived there.
00:32Queens are in charge and tell everybody what to do.
00:36I'd like to be a queen, thought Emily.
00:43Down the hill from the castle, Toby and Percy arrived.
00:48They were to show the queen what to do.
00:51When Percy arrived, they were to shunt trucks.
00:54Percy had never worked there before.
00:57Look at the castle, peeped Percy excitedly.
01:01I wonder who lived there?
01:03A king and a queen, said Toby.
01:06They ruled the island and told everyone what to do.
01:11Percy stirred at the castle.
01:14He was dreaming of kings and queens.
01:19Percy called Toby.
01:21Come along, we've got a lot to do today.
01:30Waiting for passengers is boring, huffed Emily.
01:35Then she remembered that Toby and Percy were working near the castle.
01:40It would be much more fun to visit them, she said.
01:45Toby and Percy were waiting to be coupled up when Emily chuffed in.
01:53She was very excited about the castle.
01:56Percy, she whistled.
01:58I've had an idea, let's play a game.
02:02Percy looked pleased.
02:04I'll be the queen and I'll tell you what to do today, she said.
02:08It'll be fun.
02:10Percy liked the idea of having fun,
02:13but Toby thought Emily's idea was silly.
02:17You have to be clever to be a queen, he said wisely,
02:21and know the right thing to do.
02:23I always know what to do, huffed Emily.
02:27Toby laughed.
02:29That made Emily cross.
02:32I'll show Toby that Queen Emily knows best, she wished.
02:38Toby was now coupled up to his trucks.
02:41Percy thought his trucks looked troublesome.
02:44Don't worry, said Toby.
02:47I'll be back soon.
02:49If you can't manage the trucks, wait for me and I'll tell you what to do.
02:54And Toby steamed slowly away.
03:00The troublesome trucks started to moan and groan.
03:04They clattered and chattered.
03:06Percy knew they were going to be trouble.
03:10Emily had been watching Percy.
03:13If I want to be a queen, I must tell Percy what to do, she thought.
03:18Because I know best.
03:20Percy was shunting his trucks as hard as he could,
03:24but they wouldn't move.
03:26They were being very difficult.
03:28Emily chuffed to a halt.
03:31Emily chuffed to a halt.
03:34Percy, she whistled loudly.
03:37I am queen today. I will tell you what to do.
03:41Percy was worried.
03:43Toby usually knew best.
03:46Take these trucks along my track, said Emily.
03:49It's faster and the trucks won't complain.
03:52Toby will be pleased when he sees how quick you are.
03:55Percy wanted Toby to be pleased.
03:58I'll do as you say, Queen Emily, he tooted.
04:02Emily was pleased with herself.
04:04She watched as Percy blew a big wheesh of steam.
04:09Percy puffed and he chuffed and the troublesome trucks sped off.
04:20Emily let out a wheesh of steam.
04:22She did know best.
04:28But suddenly there was a terrible noise.
04:36As the dust cleared, Emily saw what had happened.
04:42The trucks had run into Mavis, who was waiting on the track.
04:46Luckily, no one was hurt.
04:49But her load of stone had spilled all over the lines.
04:53And one of the trucks had come off the rails, knocking over a telephone pole.
04:58Percy, cried Mavis, you're not supposed to be on this track.
05:04Emily was shocked.
05:06Then there was another loud crash.
05:10It was Toby.
05:12His wheels had struck the telephone pole and he was derailed.
05:17Emily knew this was all her fault.
05:20But she didn't know what to do.
05:22The telephone line was down so no one could call for help.
05:27Mavis couldn't move.
05:29She was stuck amongst the trucks.
05:31And Percy couldn't move either.
05:34I'm sorry, Toby, cried Emily.
05:38I can't be a queen.
05:40I don't know what to do.
05:41I don't know best.
05:43Toby wheeshed out a great cloud of steam.
05:46I know what to do, he cried.
05:49Emily, you must go and get help.
05:52Emily knew Toby was right.
05:55She steamed off as fast as she could.
06:03Emily whooshed to a halt at Maithwaite Station.
06:06She told the station manager what had happened.
06:09Quickly, he phoned for help.
06:20Soon Toby had been lifted back up onto the rails.
06:25He wasn't hurt but his cowcatchers would need to be repaired.
06:30Emily chuffed into the shunting yards.
06:34The fat controller was very cross.
06:37Emily, he boomed.
06:39You have caused confusion and delay.
06:41Luckily, Toby knew what to do, he added sternly.
06:46I'm sorry, Emily said.
06:49Knowing the right thing to do isn't as easy as I thought, she chuffed.
06:53In future, I'll leave that job to a king or a queen or to Toby.
