00:00Bold and brave, it was almost summer on the island of Sodor.
00:09All the engines were busy. They were looking forward to the start of the holiday season.
00:18One morning the Fat Controller came to the sheds.
00:22It's time to get the seaside station ready for the summer visitors.
00:27Thomas, you are to pick up the deck chairs and windbreaks and take them to the beach.
00:33Yes, sir, tooted Thomas.
00:36And he hurried off happily.
00:42You're looking very cheerful, Thomas, oiled Diesel.
00:47Thomas told Diesel all about his exciting job.
00:52Haven't you heard about the curse of the cliffs?
00:56Oiled Diesel, no, tooted Thomas nervously.
01:02Diesel snorted.
01:04Whenever the first engine of the holiday season goes round the headland,
01:09a terrible fog comes down over the cliffs.
01:13Thomas didn't like the sound of that at all.
01:16The engine loses its way and nobody knows where it goes.
01:22Diesel chugged away, leaving Thomas very unhappy indeed.
01:28He wished that he didn't have to go to the beach after all.
01:34Thomas dragged his wheels slowly along the track.
01:39He was very worried.
01:44Finally, Thomas reached the supply shed.
01:49Workers had loaded his trucks with windbreaks and deck chairs.
01:54Thomas puffed slowly on his way.
01:58He was thinking about the curse of the cliffs.
02:03Suddenly, he saw Harold the helicopter.
02:06Harold had bad news.
02:09Thick fog rolling in on the headland, Harold shouted.
02:13Puff carefully, Thomas.
02:16And Harold whirred away over the treetops.
02:20Thomas was now very scared.
02:25What Diesel said about the curse of the cliffs must be true, tooted Thomas.
02:31I shall get lost in the fog and never be seen again.
02:36Thomas puffed fearfully towards the cliffs.
02:41Thomas was approaching a tunnel when he saw Ben.
02:47Ben looked unhappy.
02:51What's the matter? asked Thomas kindly.
02:55I was enjoying myself until I met Diesel, said Ben unhappily.
03:01He told me a monster lives in this tunnel.
03:05Now I'm too scared to go through.
03:08I'm sure Diesel can't be right about the monster, Thomas said.
03:13Why don't I go into the tunnel first, he said.
03:17Then you can follow me.
03:20Thomas puffed slowly into the tunnel.
03:25He heard a strange noise.
03:28Must be brave, must be brave, he told himself.
03:32Thomas was determined not to show Ben he was frightened.
03:36He screwed up his courage and puffed slowly on.
03:41Then the noise grew louder and louder.
03:46Suddenly Thomas saw two eyes peering at him.
03:50Now he knew that Diesel was right.
03:54Bust my buffers, wheezed Thomas.
03:57There is a monster.
04:00Thomas wanted to go back, but he couldn't.
04:04He had to help Ben.
04:06Must be brave, must be brave, he chanted.
04:10Thomas had to go forward.
04:13But as the smoke started to clear,
04:16Thomas saw that the eyes weren't eyes at all.
04:20They were lights.
04:22And the thud, thud, thud wasn't a noise made by a monster.
04:27It came from a machine beside the track.
04:30It came from a machine beside the track.
04:33It was a generator to power the lights.
04:37Then Thomas saw picks and shovels.
04:40He realized that workmen must be working there.
04:44Diesel was wrong.
04:46There was no monster in the tunnel after all.
04:50Soon Thomas came across workers making tea.
04:54Thomas tooted to the workmen happily.
04:59Ben was also very relieved.
05:02You're a very brave engine, said Ben.
05:06Now I can finish my job.
05:09And he puffed away.
05:14Thomas was happy to help Ben.
05:18Then he remembered that he still had to get to the beach.
05:22And he remembered Diesel's warning about the curse of the cliffs.
05:33Thomas felt very nervous as he puffed towards the headland.
05:38So nervous that he stopped.
05:42I can't go any further, Thomas tooted.
05:46And he began to reverse away from the cliffs.
05:50Then he had an idea.
05:53If Diesel was wrong about the monster in the tunnel,
05:57maybe he'll be wrong about the curse of the cliffs, he puffed.
06:04He started to go forward again.
06:08I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, he chuffed,
06:12as he steamed carefully through the mist.
06:16Suddenly the mist rolled away and the sun came out.
06:21Thomas saw that the cliffs were beautiful.
06:24Diesel just wanted to frighten me, Thomas whistled.
06:32Soon the seaside station was up ahead.
06:37At last Thomas reached the station on the other side of the headland.
06:42Thomas knew that soon the beach would be filled with happy holidaymakers.
06:47I should not have believed what Diesel said about the curse of the cliffs, wheezed Thomas.
06:53In future, Thomas decided he would believe in himself.
