Rosie and the Breakdown Train

Narrator: "Every single day, they came right to the station to see the railroad and diesel engines."

Fat Controller: "Hello there,"

Fat Controller's Wife: "now remember, don't be too impatient, Rosie,"

Fat Controller: "you can never be as super strong and fast as Gordon or James,"

Fat Controller's Wife: "but you can be a super brave engine,"

Fat Controller: "don't let the crazy Freight Cars tease you and prank you."

Narrator: There were lots of Freight Cars and Rosie worked super hard pushing and pulling them right into place. there was also a super big crane and a peculiar thing that her driver and fireman called the breakdown train."

Rosie's Driver: "That's the breakdown train. it's for lifting super heavy things like railroad engines, diesel engines and Freight Cars."

Narrator: 1 day, Rosie was in the yard and suddenly, she heard a peculiar engine whistling and shouting out loud."

Percy: "Help! save me!"

Narrator: A certain engine came rushing right through, super-fast. the little green saddletank engine was Percy, and he was terrified. his brake blocks were on fire.

Percy: "They're pushing me around! they're pushing me around!"

Freight Cars: "On, on! faster, faster!"

Percy: "Help! save me!"

Narrator: Poor Percy disappeared right underneath the bridge.

Rosie: "I wanna to teach those Freight Cars a super important lesson."

Narrator: Very soon came the emergency alarm.

Rosie's Driver: "Percy's off the line! the breakdown train! hurry up!"

Narrator: Rosie grabbed the breakdown train and off they went. she worked her hardest."

Rosie: "Hurry up! hurry up! hurry up!"

Narrator: "She wasn't pretending to be like Gordon or James, but she really meant it."

Rosie: "Bother those Freight Cars and their pranks. I really hope poor Percy's not injured."

Narrator: "Percy's driver and firemen were feeling him all over to see if he was injured or not."

Percy's Driver: "Never mind that, Percy,"

Percy's Fireman: "It wasn't your entire fault,"

Percy's Driver: "it was those brake blocks that they gave you,"

Percy's Fireman: "we always said that they weren't any good."

Narrator: Rosie pushed the breakdown train alongside her. then she pulled the non-injured Freight Cars outta the way.

Freight Cars: "Oh dear! oh dear! oh dear!"

Rosie: "Serves you right! serves you right!"

Narrator: she was super hard at work, puffing backwards and frontwards all day long.

Rosie: "This can teach you a super good lesson. this can teach you a super good lesson.

Freight Cars: "Of course it can! of course it can!"

Narrator: They left the Freight Cars, then with the breakdown train, they put Percy right back on the line. he tried moving around, but he couldn't. so Rosie helped him back home to the roundhouse. everybody was waiting super patiently for them.

Fat Controller: "Well, Rosie,"

Fat Controller's Wife: "we heard all about it,"

Fat Controller: "and we're super pleased with you,"

Fat Controller's Wife: "You're a super brave engine,"

Fat Controller: "Percy should have some proper brake blocks and a new coat of bright green paint,"

Fat Controller's Wife: "and you should have a station all to yourself."

Rosie: "Oh thanks a bunch, kind sir and ma'am."

Narrator: Now Rosie was as bright and cheerful as can be. she had a station and two coaches. she puffed proudly backwards and frontwards with them all day long. she was never lonesome. Emily and Stanley stop quite often and tell her the super good news. Gordon and James are always in a hurry, but they never forget to loudly whistle to Rosie and Rosie always loudly whistles to them in return.
