00:00Missing Gator
00:06Percy is a cheery little tank engine who loves working with his friends on the island of Sodor.
00:21One day, Salty noticed Percy standing at Brendam Docks, looking out across the water.
00:28Percy seemed sad about something.
00:32Ahoy there, matey! Thinking of taking up life on the sea, are ya?
00:37Huh? Oh no, Salty. I was just thinking about my old friend Gator.
00:45The monster! The monster! It's coming this way!
00:51It's the monster from the clay pits!
00:54When Gator first came to Sodor, he gave Percy a real fright.
01:03Oh, hello!
01:04Ha ha! That be no monster, Percy. That be an engine!
01:10Hello, Percy!
01:12Hello!
01:14But once Percy got to know him, the two engines quickly became friends.
01:21But now Gator had gone away, leaving Percy missing his friend and feeling sad.
01:28Arr, I bet your friend Gator wouldn't like to see you moping around like this.
01:34Best not to think about him, if you ask me.
01:37Gator's gone, and you've got trucks to pull and other engines to think about.
01:43Oh, Cranky is right. Maybe if I don't think about Gator, I won't feel so sad.
01:51When he pulled heavy trucks up Gordon's Hill, Percy remembered how Gator made it all seem so easy.
02:00Gator's gone, and you've got trucks to pull and other engines to think about.
02:06Oh, Cranky's right. Maybe if I don't think about Gator, I won't feel so sad.
02:12Oh, Cranky's right. Maybe if I don't think about Gator, I won't feel so sad.
02:18Oh, Cranky's right. Maybe if I don't think about Gator, I won't feel so sad.
02:24Oh, Cranky's right. Maybe if I don't think about Gator, I won't feel so sad.
02:29And when he came back to Brendam Docks, he remembered where Gator had waited for his ship to come in.
02:42Being brave is not the same as not feeling scared.
02:47Being brave is about what you do, even when you do feel scared.
02:53Ah, thinking about Gator again, are ye?
02:57Huh? How did you know?
03:00You've been there for half an hour with your trucks coupled up.
03:04You've been there for half an hour with your trucks coupled up.
03:07Keep yourself busy, that'll take your mind off anything.
03:11No truer word, Percy. Keep busy!
03:15Okay then, I'll keep busy.
03:23So Percy decided to stop thinking about Gator, by keeping himself very busy indeed.
03:32Oh! Slow down there, Percy!
03:35Oh, sorry, Stafford.
03:38But I've got to keep busy.
03:44Oh, no!
03:46Oh, no!
03:48Oh, no!
03:50Oh, no!
03:52Oh, no!
03:54Oh, no!
03:56Oh, no!
03:58Oh, no!
04:01Oh, no!
04:05Your attention please, it's the station announcement.
04:10Hello, Percy.
04:12Percy!
04:13Oh, sorry, Thomas.
04:14Mustn't stop, otherwise I'll start thinking about...
04:18Oh, never mind.
04:21Then, Percy was sent to the Earl's Estate to take some very important trucks to the docks.
04:28They were loaded with valuable sculptures and paintings for an exhibition.
04:36Keeping busy, keeping busy, never thinking isn't easy.
04:40Move some more trucks down the line.
04:43Who needs thinking? I feel fine!
04:47Hello, Percy. Your trucks are ready and waiting.
04:50Thanks, Millie. Mustn't stop.
04:55But don't you need to be coupled up?
04:58No, thanks. I've got to keep busy, so I don't think about anything.
05:09Keeping busy, keeping busy, never thinking isn't easy.
05:14Never thinking isn't...
05:16Uh-oh.
05:17Then there was trouble.
05:19The troublesome trucks started racing ahead.
05:26Stop! Wait!
05:30The trucks rattled the points and switched onto the track that led to the old mine.
05:36Oh, no! Stop! Please!
05:39But the trucks were going too fast to stop now.
05:44Come back! Come back!
05:49The entrance to the old mine had only recently been re-boarded up.
05:58But even that couldn't stop them.
06:01Percy slowed down when he saw the dark tunnel ahead.
06:05Hello? Anybody there?
06:10Percy knew that he should go in and bring back the trucks, but he didn't like the look of the mine.
06:26Percy was scared. He didn't know what to do.
06:30He just had to stop and think for a moment.
06:34But of course, what he thought of was...
06:40Being brave is not the same as not feeling scared.
06:45Being brave is about what you do, even when you do feel scared.
06:52Percy remembered what Gator had said to him, and he knew he could do it.
06:57He could be brave. He could go into the dark tunnel.
07:02Hello? Hello, trucks? Where are you?
07:08Deeper and deeper into the tunnel he went, wheel turn by wheel turn,
07:14until at last, Percy saw some shadowy shapes ahead of him.
07:20Oh, Percy! Help! Help! Who's there? We don't like being all alone in the dark!
07:25The trucks were very happy to see Percy.
07:29The trucks were very happy to see Percy.
07:33They were frightened too.
07:35Come on, you troublesome trucks! Let's get you out of here!
07:42Percy had done it! He had rescued the trucks!
07:46Percy knew he shouldn't have rushed off with the troublesome trucks, but then he smiled.
07:53He realised that it was Gator's wise words that helped him to be brave and rescue the trucks all by himself.
08:12Ahoy there, Percy! Not still thinking about Gator, are ye? You know he only makes you sad.
08:19No, Salty. Thinking about Gator makes me happy too. I learned a lot from that engine.
08:25I'm lucky to have Gator as a friend, even if he is far away right now.
08:30Aye, Percy. And who knows, but he might come back to Sodor one day.
08:39I hope so, Salty. I really do.
