00:00It was a beautiful day on the island of Sodor.
00:06Thomas was bringing his friend Alfie to a demolition site.
00:16Hello Thomas, rattled Jack.
00:19Hello Jack, puffed Thomas.
00:25I guess everyone likes demolition, said Thomas.
00:29I love demolition, said Alfie.
00:32It's when we get to knock buildings down.
00:35That's supposed to be fun, asked Thomas.
00:38The best fun, cried Alfie, and he swooped down the ramp.
00:43Look out, small fry, boomed Max.
00:46I'm not a small fry, said Alfie crossly.
00:50He didn't like being teased about his size.
00:54Later that morning, Alfie was happy that the foreman had sent him to work with Ned.
01:01Ned wouldn't make him feel small.
01:05But as Alfie pulled up, Ned swung his bucket.
01:09Watch out, cried Alfie.
01:11Sorry, said Ned, I didn't see you, you're smaller than you look.
01:16This made Alfie feel even smaller.
01:19Later, Alfie was working hard.
01:23Hurry up, half pint, teased Monty.
01:26No half pint, greased Max, it's small fry, ha!
01:31Alfie was upset.
01:38At the workman's tea break, Thomas could see that Alfie was unhappy.
01:44What's wrong? he asked.
01:47What's wrong? he asked.
01:49I don't like being small, complained Alfie.
01:52As long as you're useful, said Thomas helpfully.
01:56It doesn't matter what size you are.
01:58Alfie thought about this for a moment.
02:03Break's over, shouted Kelly.
02:06Back to work.
02:09That afternoon, Alfie was determined to be really useful.
02:16He was helping Oliver demolish a building.
02:24Oliver's giant scissor claw grabbed the top of the wall.
02:35Stop, cried Alfie, I can hear something.
02:39Everyone stopped work.
02:43But no one could hear a thing.
02:46I already checked inside, said the foreman.
02:49Small fry is hearing things, sneered Max.
02:53I did hear something, I really did.
02:56The foreman looked inside again and he was surprised.
03:00There's a mother cat in here and she's got kittens.
03:04We must rescue them, said Alfie.
03:07The building isn't safe, said the foreman.
03:10I can't send my men in there.
03:12I'll go, said Alfie bravely, I'm small enough to fit in.
03:16In no time, Alfie wriggled inside.
03:23The building creaked and plaster flew.
03:26Alfie held up his scoop for the cat and the kittens to jump in.
03:32Here, kitty, kitty, Alfie coaxed.
03:36But the cat and the kittens didn't move.
03:39Suddenly the upper wall started to crumble.
03:43Hurry, kitty, kitty, Alfie cried.
03:46But it was too late.
03:48Quick as a wink, Alfie covered the cat and her kittens with his scoop.
03:52And just in time.
03:57Phew!
03:59Phew!
04:02The cat and the kittens were safe.
04:05Well done, said Miss Jenny.
04:07It's a fine family of kittens.
04:10I couldn't have rescued them if I'd been any bigger, said Alfie.
04:14You may be small, said Kelly, but you've got a big heart.
04:18And a really useful scoop, said Thomas.
04:23Alfie was proud.
04:25And he never complained about being small again.
