00:00The biggest present of all.
00:04For all the engines on the island of Sodor,
00:08there are jobs to be done,
00:11visitors to meet,
00:13and friends to greet.
00:17One day, there was a very special friend to greet.
00:22Hero was coming back to Sodor.
00:25He was to help with the summer visitors.
00:28Thomas and Percy waited for him at Brendam Docks.
00:32I'm so excited, my firebox is fizzing!
00:36And my boiler is bubbling!
00:38Hero, our special friend, is coming back to Sodor!
00:42Vroom! Vroom!
00:45Hello, my good friends.
00:49I have missed you.
00:51We missed you too, Hero.
00:54The three engines tooted and hooted with happiness.
01:00Welcome back, Hero.
01:02First, you must go to the steamworks.
01:05Victor will check your engine after your long journey.
01:09Of course, sir.
01:11Every day, I want to be a really useful engine.
01:15Then, you must go to Knapford Station.
01:19I will meet you there.
01:21Yes, sir. Of course, sir.
01:25Hero puffed proudly away.
01:30I want there to be a welcome party for Hero at Knapford.
01:34Percy, you must collect Lady Hat and bring her to the party.
01:39Thomas, you must tell the engines to chuff quickly to Knapford for the party.
01:45Then, the Fat Controller left.
01:48Thomas and Percy were excited.
01:51Oh, my! A welcome party will make Hero very happy.
01:55A welcome present would make Hero even happier.
01:59That's a good idea.
02:01I must go now, Thomas. Lady Hat will be waiting.
02:06Then, Thomas steamed slowly away.
02:11I'm sure I'll find something special for Hero.
02:14I'll look as I puff around the island, telling my friends about the party.
02:22Thomas clickety-clacked along the track.
02:26Something special from Sodor for my new friend.
02:29I'll search the whole island from end to end.
02:32Then, an idea flew into Thomas' funnel.
02:36I'm sure there'll be something special at Farmer McColl's farm.
02:40So, Thomas pumped his pistons and raced to Farmer McColl's farm.
02:46Emily was there. She was collecting straw.
02:49Hero has come back. I'm finding a welcome present for him.
02:53That's exciting. Good luck, Thomas.
02:56Emily puffed away.
02:58Thomas didn't tell her about the party at Knapford.
03:02He was too busy looking for a welcome present.
03:05Thomas saw the big brown barn.
03:09Perhaps Hero would like a barn. He could keep special things safe in a barn.
03:15But the barn is too big.
03:17And Thomas steamed slowly away.
03:22Something special from Sodor for my new friend.
03:25I'll search the whole island from end to end.
03:29Then, another idea flew into Thomas' funnel.
03:33I'm sure there'll be something special at the quarry.
03:37So, Thomas huffed happily to the quarry.
03:41Mavis, James, Toby and Henry were there.
03:44They were busy shunting slave trucks.
03:51Hero has come back. I'm finding a welcome present for him.
03:55That's a wonderful idea, Thomas.
03:58Henry, James and Toby chuffed away to shunt trucks.
04:03Thomas didn't tell them about the party at Knapford.
04:07Thomas looked all around the quarry.
04:11But all he could see was Sodor's slate.
04:15Slate is very special to Sodor.
04:18But slate is too small to be a present.
04:22I must look for something else.
04:24So, Thomas chuffed away.
04:28Something special from Sodor for my new friend.
04:32I'll search the whole island from end to end.
04:35Then, Thomas gasped.
04:37The steamworks! I'm sure there'll be something special there.
04:42So, Thomas chuffed cheerfully to the steamworks.
04:48Hello, Kevin. I'm looking for a welcome present for Hero.
04:53It has to be something special.
04:55Thomas saw an old bell.
04:58I'm sure Hero would like a bell.
05:01Then everyone would hear him coming.
05:03Good idea, Thomas. Good idea.
05:06But when Kevin picked up the bell...
05:09It clanged and clanked.
05:11It rang and rattled.
05:14Trembling tracks. That's too noisy.
05:17Hero will soon be at Knapford to see the Fat Controller.
05:21Bust my buffers. I must hurry.
05:24Thomas raced out of the steamworks.
05:27He didn't tell Victor and Kevin about the party either.
05:31Thomas raced into Knapford Station.
05:34Hero was waiting, all alone.
05:38Thomas gasped.
05:40Cinders and ashes. I haven't found a welcome present for Hero.
05:44And I haven't told anyone about the party.
05:47This won't make Hero happy.
05:50Thomas felt terrible.
05:53Then his boiler bubbled and his wheels whirred.
05:57Hello, Hero. Goodbye, Hero.
06:00And Thomas steamed swiftly out of the station.
06:05Thomas puffed to Farmer McColl's.
06:08Emily, chuff as fast as you can to Knapford.
06:10The Fat Controller is having a welcome party for Hero.
06:13Tell everyone you pass.
06:15Thomas, I've had a marvellous idea for a special present for Hero.
06:20I'm sure he would like a bright, shiny dome.
06:24Victor must have one.
06:26Thomas was stern.
06:28Thank you, Emily. Now is not the time to find presents.
06:31You must hurry.
06:33And Thomas chuffed quickly away.
06:36Mavis, Toby, James and Henry were still at the quarry.
06:40You must all chuff to Knapford as fast as you can for Hero's welcome party.
06:45Thomas, I think I know exactly what Hero would like as a special present.
06:50A new glowing lamp. That would be very special.
06:55Thomas was firm.
06:57Thank you, Henry. Now is not the time to find presents.
07:00You must hurry.
07:02And Thomas pumped his pistons and puffed away.
07:08Kevin, please tell all the engines to race to Knapford for Hero's party.
07:12My friend, Kevin and I have been thinking.
07:15What about a new, shiny buffer for Hero?
07:18I think Hero would find that very special.
07:21Don't you think so, Buzz? Er, Thomas?
07:24Thomas knew what he thought.
07:26I think now is not the time to find presents.
07:29Thank you, but you must tell the engines to hurry. Please?
07:33And Thomas pumped his pistons and puffed away.
07:37Thomas clickety-clack down the track, this way and that, telling his friends all about the party.
07:45Thomas puffed in to Knapford station.
07:48His face was red and his firebox glowed.
07:53Thomas, where have you been? Hero's welcome party is almost over.
07:59I'm sorry, sir. I was trying to find your welcome present, Hero.
08:04Something special from Sodor.
08:07But I couldn't find anything. I'm sorry.
08:11Hero smiled.
08:13Thomas, my friend, you must not worry.
08:17My welcome present is right here.
08:20Being with my friends is the biggest present of all.
08:25And the most special present from Sodor.
08:28There is nothing more special.
08:32Then Thomas smiled and smiled.
08:36He knew Hero was right and so did all his friends.
