Thomas The Tank Engine And Friends (1984) s01e03 Episode Script
The Sad Story of Henry (Part 1) (7 min)
Once, an engine attached to a train was afraid of the rain.
lt went into a tunnel and wouldn't come out again! (Toots) The engine's name is Henry.
His driver argued with him but he would not move.
"The rain will spoil my lovely green paint.
" The guard blew his whistle till he had no more breath but Henry stayed in the tunnel and blew steam at him.
"l'm not going to spoil my lovely paint!" Along came Sir Topham Hatt, the man in charge of all the engines.
They call him the Fat Controller.
"We will pull you out," said the Fat Controller.
Everyone pulled except the Fat Controller.
He said, "My doctor has forbidden me to pull.
" But Henry stayed in the tunnel.
They pushed from the other end.
The Fat Controller said, "One, two, three, push!" But he didn't help.
"My doctor has forbidden me to push.
" They pushed and pushed but Henry stayed in the tunnel.
Thomas came along.
The guard stopped him.
Everyone argued with Henry.
"lt has stopped raining," they said.
"Yes, but it will begin again!" said Henry.
Thomas pushed as hard as he could.
(Creaking and squeaking) But still Henry stayed in the tunnel.
Eventually, even the Fat Controller gave up.
"We shall take away your rails and leave you here for always.
" They took up the rails and built up a wall so Henry couldn't get out.
All he could do was watch the trains rushing past.
He was very sad as no one would ever see his lovely green paint again.
Edward and Gordon would often pass by.
Edward would say, "Peep-peep, hello!" And Gordon would say, "Serves you right!" Henry had no steam to answer.
His fire had gone out.
Soot from the tunnel had spoilt his lovely paint anyway.
He wondered if he would ever pull trains again.
But l think he deserved his punishment, don't you?
