Thomas: Wake up, lazybones, why don't you work hard like me? Thomas likes to tease Gordon with his whistle. He loves playing tricks on them, including Gordon the biggest and proudest engine of all. Thomas thinks no engine works has hard as he does. And when trains come in, he pulls the empty coaches away so that the big engines can go on rest. Always pulling coaches about ready for the big engines can take on long journeys. He's a cheeky little engine with six small wheels, a short stumpy funnel, a short stumpy boiler and a short stumpy dome. Ringo Starr: Thomas is a tank engine who lives at the big station on the Island of Sodor. He went home very slowly, and was careful afterwards never to be cheeky to Gordon again. He just puffed slowly away to rest, and had a long, long drink. Ringo Starr: Poor Thomas couldn't answer, he had no breath. Gordon: Now you know what hard work means, don't you? Next he went on to a turntable thinking of everyone laughing at him and then he ran on to a siding out of the way. Thomas was uncoupled and he felt very silly and exhausted. Ringo Starr: At last, they stopped at a station. Thomas: My wheels will be quite worn out. He was out of breath and his wheels hurt him, but he had to go on. Poor Thomas was going faster than he had ever gone before. He wanted to stop, but he couldn't.Ĭoaches: You can't get away. The train went faster and faster too fast for Thomas. Ringo Starr: Puffed Gordon to the coaches. This time, Gordon start so quickly they forgot to uncouple Thomas. Thomas usually pushed behind the big trains to help them start, but he was always uncoupled first. Ringo Starr: And almost before the coaches had stopped moving Gordon reversed quickly and was coupled to the train. He fussed into the station where Gordon was waiting. People were waiting, but the coaches weren't ready. His fire went out and there was not enough steam. His Driver and Fireman couldn't make him start. Instead of going to sleep again, Gordon thought how he could get back at Thomas. Thomas: Wake up, lazybones, do some hard work for a change - You can't catch me! He was just going to sleep when Thomas came up in his cheeky way. Ringo Starr: One day after pulling the big express, Gordon had arrived back at the sidings very tired. Thomas: Wake up, lazybones! Why don't you work hard like me? Thomas thinks no engine works as hard as he does. He's a fussy little engine too. Always pulling coaches about, ready for the big engines to take on long journeys and when trains come in, he pulls the empty coaches away so that the big engines can go on rest.
