Emily and Dash

Emily is a gleaming, green engine.
Emily likes to do the best and be the best at all times, and in all places.
Early one morning, Emily roared and raced to Misty Island.
The Fat Controller had a Special for her.
At the logging camp, the Logging Locos were playing their favourite game, Warbling Whistles.
Emily puffed proudly in.
Hello, Logging Locos.
Bash, Dash and Ferdinand chuffed chirpily.
- Hello, Emily.
- The Fat Controller is coming to give me my reward for being Really Useful.
That's right.
Just then, the Fat Controller arrived on Thomas.
Today is the Children's Steam Fair.
Emily, your Special is to take Dash to the fair.
Your reward, Dash, is to be the Star of the Fair.
Bash and Dash whistled and whooped with joy.
Thomas was surprised.
Their whistles warbled like tweeting and twittering birds.
Bubbling boilers! I've never heard an engine tweet like a bird.
The children will be excited to hear you.
Emily had heard the Logging Locos tweeting and twittering too.
She wanted to tweet and twitter like them.
How do you whistle like that? You chuff out your cheeks And you scrunch up your eyes.
Then you huff and you puff.
And the twitters will rise.
Emily watched.
That's easy.
It's very, very hard.
It takes a long, long time - To learn.
- That's right.
Emily sniffed and snorted.
It won't take me a long, long time.
I shall learn on my way to the Steam Fair.
Very, very quickly.
Emily and Dash wheeshed along.
I'll twitter and tweet.
I'll soon find the way.
It can't be that hard, whatever they say.
Emily and Dash huffed up to a junction.
Please show me once more.
Of course I will, Emily.
But be careful.
Twitters and tweets use a lot of Fuel.
Emily wasn't bothered by fuel.
First, you chuff out your cheeks.
Emily chuffed and chuffed until her cheeks were rosy red.
Just then, Gordon steamed grandly by.
He was on his way to the Steam Fair.
Gordon stopped.
Oh, dear, Emily! Whatever's the matter? Emily felt silly.
Gordon grinned.
Dash twittered and tweeted.
My, my, Dash! The children will like that.
That's a special trick.
Emily was cross.
She wanted to do the special trick.
So Emily huffed huffily away.
Emily and Dash clickety-clacked along the track.
I'll twitter and tweet.
I'll soon find the way.
It can't be that hard, whatever they say.
Emily and Dash huffed to a quiet siding.
Please show me again.
Dash was worried.
- Emily, I could run out of - Fuel.
I'm sure you won't.
Very well.
First, you chuff out your cheeks, then you scrunch up your eyes.
Just then, Charlie whooshed by on his way to the Steam Fair.
He screeched to a stop.
And giggled.
Trembling tracks, Emily! What's happened to your face? You look very funny.
Charlie chuckled cheerfully.
Emily felt even sillier.
Dash twittered and tweeted.
Bust my buffers! That's a special trick.
Emily felt even crosser that she couldn't do the special trick.
So she grumped grumpily away.
Emily and Dash rattled and raced.
I'll twitter and tweet.
I'll soon find the way.
It can't be that hard, whatever they say.
Emily and Dash stopped at another siding.
Dash was even more worried.
I can't puff again, Emily.

Dash pumped his pistons.

He hushed to a halt.
Emily, your face is very strange.
I must tell the Fat Controller at once.
Don't do that, Hiro.
Emily gasped and groaned.
Pump your pistons, Dash! We must huff to the Fair.
- Then there was trouble.
- Oh.
Dash couldn't pump his pistons.
Dash had run out of fuel.
Don't worry, Emily.
I'm sure you will twitter and tweet without me.
