00:00It was a glorious day on the island of Sodor.
00:06Villagers, children, even the Fat Controller was excited.
00:11The circus was coming.
00:14The engines were thrilled.
00:17They loved the circus too.
00:19Percy loved the horses.
00:24James loved the clans.
00:31Children gathered on the bridges.
00:34They were waiting to see the circus pass by.
00:38Thomas became more and more excited.
00:44Everyone wanted to collect the circus from Brendam Docks.
00:50The Fat Controller came to Tidmouth Sheds.
00:54He had exciting news for Thomas.
00:57Thomas, you are to collect the circus, he boomed.
01:01Thomas was very happy.
01:04Pulling the circus sounded like wonderful fun.
01:07But if there are too many trucks for you to pull,
01:10you must share the work with another engine.
01:17Percy and James were pleased.
01:19Maybe they'd get to pull the circus after all.
01:24Thomas puffed over to Brendam Docks.
01:30Thomas steamed into the dock.
01:33Cranky was unloading the circus.
01:36Thomas was amazed.
01:38There were trailers and horse boxes,
01:41colourful costumes, coaches and flatbeds as far as the eye could see.
01:47Thomas was so excited his axles tingled.
01:52The acrobats and clowns climbed aboard Annie and Clarabel.
01:58Thomas buffered up to collect the coach.
02:02Do you want a wheel there, matey? asked Salty cheerfully.
02:06Thomas remembered what the Fat Controller had said about sharing the work.
02:10But the band started playing and everybody was cheering.
02:16Thomas thought this was the most wonderful special ever.
02:21Even though the train was very heavy, he didn't want to share it.
02:25No thank you, Salty, he gasped.
02:28I can do it on my own.
02:30And Thomas took the biggest puff he could and slowly pulled away.
02:37Thomas trundled through the countryside.
02:41His pistons pumped and his traction rods rattled.
02:45But Thomas didn't notice he was having far too much fun.
02:51Thomas puffed towards Marron Station.
02:54He had a wonderful surprise.
02:57Passengers and staff waved and cheered as he passed.
03:02The band played on and Thomas blew his whistle in time with the trumpet.
03:07Thomas felt very special.
03:09Pulling the circus was lots of fun.
03:16Thomas stopped by a bridge.
03:18Percy was waiting there too.
03:20Children waved to Thomas and the circus.
03:23Thomas blew his whistle.
03:25Percy was waiting there too.
03:27Children waved to Thomas and the circus.
03:30Thomas blew his whistle.
03:32Percy wanted to join in.
03:34Is there anything I can take?
03:37Percy asked hopefully.
03:39But Thomas wanted to keep all the fun to himself.
03:42No thank you, he gasped.
03:44I can do it all on my own.
03:46Percy watched Thomas and the circus slowly chuff away.
03:51He felt very disappointed.
03:56Thomas puffed on.
03:59The train started to feel heavier and heavier.
04:03His traction rods were rattling more than ever.
04:10Thomas stopped at a junction.
04:12James was waiting in a siding.
04:15James thought the band sounded very jolly.
04:19If you want to uncouple some trucks, he said hopefully,
04:23I could take them for you.
04:25No thank you, gasped Thomas.
04:27I can do it all on my own.
04:29He didn't want to miss out on any of the fun.
04:38Thomas steamed on,
04:40but every huff and every chuff
04:43got harder and harder.
04:50Thomas passed through the next station,
04:52but he was almost out of puff.
04:55Thomas wasn't having fun anymore.
05:04Then there was trouble.
05:06With a horrible creak and a terrible crack,
05:09Thomas's traction rods broke.
05:12Thomas stopped with a jolt.
05:16Suddenly it was very quiet.
05:19Thomas felt very sad.
05:22Thomas's driver telephoned for help.
05:25Even the performers practising in the field
05:28didn't make Thomas feel better.
05:34Thomas wished he had shared the heavy load.
05:39Soon, Percy and James arrived.
05:42James brought new traction rods
05:45and Percy brought hay for the horses,
05:47but Thomas still felt miserable.
05:50I wish I'd shared the work with you,
05:52he said sadly.
05:54Don't worry, puffed Percy.
05:56We can all have fun now, said James cheerfully.
05:59And he was right.
06:01While Thomas's traction rods were replaced,
06:04they all enjoyed watching the circus performers practise.
06:12Then Thomas shared out the trucks.
06:15Percy took the horses,
06:17James took the performers,
06:19then the band started playing.
06:22This is fun, puffed Thomas.
06:27All three engines blew their whistles
06:30and the long and jolly train set off.
06:37Later, the friends watched as the big tent was put up.
06:44Thank you for helping me, puffed Thomas.
06:47Sharing your work makes things much easier,
06:50but sharing the fun is the best fun of all.
06:53And everyone agreed.
