" (NARRATOR READING) It was the day of the children's midsummer party.
Thomas was on his way to Brendham Docks.
He was to meet the Fat Controller and the Great Magician.
The Great Magician was going to do a magic show at the party.
As he pulled into the docks, the Fat Controller was waiting, with the Great Magician.
"At the end of the party, the Great Magician "is going to do a big trick," boomed the Fat Controller.
"The Grand Finale," said the Great Magician.
"And I need some special things for it.
" Thomas thought this was very exciting.
"You'll collect them," added the Fat Controller.
"And if you do your job well, "you can be in the magic show!" Thomas was happy.
He really wanted to be in the magic show.
The Fat Controller told him to listen carefully.
"First, go to Maithwaite to pick up a blue box.
"Then go to Maron station to pick up a red carpet.
"Lastly, go to Knapford to pick up a yellow sheet.
" Thomas wasn't listening.
He was dreaming about being in the magic show.
"Can you remember that?" Asked the Fat Controller.
"Yes, sir!" puffed Thomas.
And he chuffed away.
When Thomas arrived at Maithwaite, Elisabeth was making a delivery.
"I'm going to be in a magic show.
"I've come to collect something for the Grand Finale!" "How jolly!" steamed Elisabeth.
On the platform was a new red phone box.
"That must be it!" whistled Thomas.
And it was loaded onto his flatbed.
"Next stop Maron station!" Thomas tooted.
Thomas puffed into Maron station.
Bertie was dropping off holidaymakers.
"Hello!" chuffed Thomas.
"I'm going to be in a magic show!" "That's nice," said Bertie.
"What are you doing here?" "I'm here to pick up something for the Grand Finale!" On the platform was a stack of yellow deckchairs.
"That must be it," whistled Thomas.
The deckchairs were loaded.
And off Thomas chuffed.
When Thomas arrived at Knapford station, Henry was there.
"I'm going to be in a magic show!" "That's exciting," wheeshed Henry.
"Why have you come to Knapford?" Thomas couldn't remember.
"I've to collect something for the Grand Finale.
"Something blue!" "There's a big blue flag over there.
" "That must be it!" whistled Thomas.
The blue flag was soon loaded onto his flatbed.
And Thomas puffed off to the party.
Thomas was sure the Great Magician was going to be pleased.
Thomas arrived at the party.
The children were very excited.
They couldn't wait for the magic show to start.
"I've everything you asked for," puffed Thomas.
"The red phone box, the yellow deckchairs "and the big, blue flag.
" The Great Magician was very cross! "You brought the wrong things.
"I need my red carpet, my blue box and my big yellow sheet!" "Without them, I can't do my Grand Finale!" Thomas felt awful.
He had been daydreaming.
He hadn't listened properly.
He'd puffed to the right places, but picked up the wrong things.
"I'm sorry," he wheeshed sadly.
"I've been a silly engine.
" The magic show was about to start.
Then an idea flew into Thomas's funnel.
"Help me unload the flatbed, "then I'll pick up all the right things.
" In no time, Thomas was unloaded.
He knew he would miss the magic show, but he had to be back in time for the Grand Finale! First, he went to Maithwaite station.
"Blue box," he whooshed to himself.
And there he saw the big, blue box.
Thomas was pleased.
Soon it was loaded, and Thomas raced off! Next, he chuffed to Maron station.
"Red carpet, red carpet," he puffed to himself.
Sure enough, there was a red carpet, ready to be loaded.
Thomas was very happy.
Lastly, he steamed into Knapford.
"Yellow sheet," he sang to himself.
And there was the big, yellow sheet! It was quickly loaded onto his flatbed.
And he raced back to the party! He arrived back just in time for the Grand Finale! He had missed almost all of the magic show, but was pleased that he'd done his job properly.
The Great Magician began the Grand Finale.
"Abracadabra!" (PEOPLE CHEERING) Thomas was amazed! The children clapped and cheered.
