00:00It was a windy day on the island of Sodor.
00:08Trees were blown, leaves were scattered, and the Fat Controller's hat flew away.
00:16The engines were looking forward to the annual Sodor Flash.
00:23At Tidmouth Sheds, the Fat Controller had news of an important special.
00:28It must get to Maithwaite Station before the world-famous opera singer Alicia Botti arrives, he boomed.
00:36Alicia Botti was coming to open the flower shop.
00:41The engines were very excited.
00:44They all wanted to collect the special, but the Fat Controller gave the job to Percy.
00:50Percy was delighted.
00:54But after the Fat Controller left, Gordon and James were sniffy.
00:59It can't be that special, boasted Gordon.
01:02Or the Fat Controller would have sent me.
01:05Oh, me, added James.
01:07A red engine would be just the thing.
01:10Percy wondered what the special could be.
01:13He steamed out of Tidmouth Sheds as fast as he could.
01:22Percy arrived at Brendan Docks just as Cranky unloaded his special.
01:28Percy was disappointed to see it was a roll of carpet.
01:36What's so special about a carpet? he wished gloomily.
01:40Maybe it's a magic carpet, said Salty.
01:44I've heard tell of them that can fly.
01:47Do you know any magic words? said Salty.
01:51You mean like please? asked Percy hopefully.
01:55No, Percy, said Salty.
01:58Other magic words like hey, presto, otis, pokus and abracadabra.
02:05Cranky had lowered the carpet onto Percy's flatbed.
02:08It doesn't look very magic, said Percy sadly.
02:14But as Percy puffed away, the carpet unrolled as if by magic.
02:22Percy puffed as quickly as he could.
02:30He had to stop at a junction. Gordon was waiting there.
02:35When Gordon saw what Percy's special was, he sniffed louder than ever.
02:40A carpet! No wonder the fat controller gave the job to a small engine.
02:45Just then the wind whistled and whirled and the carpet flew into the air.
02:51Look, Percy cried, it is a magic carpet, it can fly.
02:57That's not magic, snorted Gordon. That's just the wind.
03:04Murdoch passed by pulling a long train.
03:10And the carpet suddenly dropped onto one of his trucks.
03:15It is a magic carpet, wailed Percy, and it's going without me.
03:23Percy chased after Murdoch.
03:26Wait for me, he cried, please wait.
03:30But Murdoch didn't hear Percy.
03:35Murdoch passed through Marron Station.
03:38James was taking on passengers.
03:41Help! Percy cried.
03:43Murdoch has got my magic carpet.
03:46There's no such thing as a magic carpet, puffed James.
03:50Just then the carpet lifted off Murdoch's truck and glided onto Toby's roof.
04:00See, cried Percy, it is magic, it can fly.
04:06Percy raced after Toby.
04:20Until finally Toby pulled into Kelsthorpe Station.
04:26Percy pulled in as fast as he could.
04:29Wait, cried Percy.
04:32And Toby didn't move, but the carpet did.
04:35It flew off Toby and landed on the tracks.
04:40Help, cried Percy, my magic carpet.
04:45Gordon was even less impressed than before.
04:48Still trying to make your little job look important, he grumbled.
04:53Then there was trouble.
04:56Thomas was coming and he was on the same track as the carpet.
05:01So Percy and Gordon blew their whistles as loud as they could.
05:06But Thomas couldn't stop in time.
05:09I'll say a magic word, cried Percy.
05:13Hey presto, hocus pocus, abracadabra, he cried.
05:18But the carpet didn't move.
05:20Please, puffed Percy hopefully.
05:24Suddenly the wind whistled and the carpet flapped.
05:27It lifted off the tracks and floated onto Percy's flatbed.
05:34It is magic, gasped Gordon.
05:37And I'm going to be late, puffed Percy.
05:42Percy's driver had tied the carpet down.
05:45And Percy steamed off as fast as he could.
05:55Percy puffed in to Maithwaite station.
05:58The Fat Controller was waiting for him.
06:01Percy told him about the magic carpet.
06:03It tried to get away, he gasped, and caused confusion and delay.
06:08The Fat Controller laughed.
06:11Oh, oh, oh, there is no such thing as a magic carpet, he boomed.
06:16But you, Percy, are on time and a really useful engine.
06:20Percy felt very proud.
06:24Soon the carpet was unloaded and put into place.
06:29Gordon arrived with Alicia Botti.
06:35And the flower show was an enormous success.
06:41And even though the Fat Controller had said the carpet wasn't magic,
06:46Percy and Gordon were not so sure.
06:50And even though the Fat Controller had said the carpet wasn't magic,
06:55Percy and Gordon were not so sure.
