00:00Percy and Toby were worried. Thomas' recent accident had caused a great deal of trouble, and the Fat Controller was waiting for them with important news.
00:11Here, he said, is Daisy, the diesel railcar, who has come to help while Thomas' arm indisposed.
00:20Please, sir, asked Percy. Will she go, sir, when Thomas comes back, sir?
00:31That depends, said the Fat Controller. Meanwhile, however long she stays, I hope you will both make her welcome and comfortable.
00:41Yes, sir, we'll try, sir, said the engines.
00:44Good. Run along now and show her the shed. She will want to rest after her journey.
00:50Daisy was hard to please. She shuddered at the engine shed.
01:06This is dreadfully smelly. I am highly sprung, and anything smelly is bad for my swerves.
01:14Next, they tried the carriage shed.
01:34This is better, said Daisy, but whatever is that rubbish?
01:39The rubbish turned out to be Annie, Clarabel and Henrietta, who were most offended.
01:46We won't stay here to be insulted, they fumed.
01:50Percy and Toby had to take them away and spend half the night soothing their hurt feelings.
02:06The engines woke next morning feeling exhausted.
02:11Daisy, on the other hand, felt bright and cheerful.
02:14Ooh, ooh, she tooted as she came out of the yard and back to the station.
02:25Look at me, she purred to the passengers. I am the latest diesel, highly sprung and right up to date.
02:33You won't want Thomas' bumpy old Annie and Clarabel now.
02:38The passengers waited for Daisy to start, but she didn't.
02:44She saw that a milk van was about to be coupled to her and was most indignant.
02:50Do they expect me to pull that?
02:54Surely, said her driver, you can pull one van.
02:58I won't, said Daisy. Percy can do it. He loves messing about with trucks.
03:06She began to shudder violently.
03:09Nonsense, said her driver. Come on now, back down.
03:14Daisy lurched backwards. She was so cross that she blew a fuse.
03:20Told you, she said, and stopped.
03:23Everyone argued with her, but it was no use.
03:26It's fitter's orders, she said. What is?
03:30My fitter's a very nice man. He comes every week and examines me carefully.
03:37Daisy, he says, never, never pull.
03:41You're highly sprung and pulling is bad for your swerves.
03:46So that's how it is, finished Daisy.
03:49Stuff and nonsense, said the station master.
03:53I can't understand, said the shunter.
03:55Whatever made the fat controller send us such a feeble, feeble, feeble, spluttered Daisy.
04:01Let me...
04:03Stop arguing, grumbled the passengers. We're late already.
04:08So they uncoupled the van and Daisy purred away, feeling very pleased with herself.
04:14She could now enjoy her journey.
04:17That's a good story, she chuckled.
04:20I'll do just what work I choose, and no more.
04:25But she said it to herself.
