That afternoon Thomas had to collect some tape for the bridge. Thomas puffed into the yard and back up to the paintbrush. The diesel was in the yard too. Now I'll show Thomas his best diesel whistle. And he gave the truck some extra hard shunt. Paint pots flew into the air and splattered down all over Thomas. There was green paint, yellow paint and red paint. Thomas looked very silly indeed. Stripey boiler, laughed diesel and he rolled away. I'll show those diesels puffed Thomas. So the next time Thomas saw Ari, he gave him a biff. And when Ari saw James, he gave him a bump. Soon the diesels and the steamy's were biffing and banging and being bumped all over the island. The engines were in a terrible mess. Everyone needed a good wash down and no work had been done.
