00:00It was a baking hot summer on the island of Sodor.
00:06The sun was shining brightly.
00:09James and Toby were taking children to the seaside.
00:13It was a wonderful job.
00:15All the engines liked seeing the children's happy faces.
00:19And they loved hearing them cheer when they saw the sea.
00:23Thomas wished he was taking children to the seaside,
00:27but Thomas was taking a big tank of raspberry syrup to the ice cream factory.
00:36Down on the beach, it was very hot.
00:39And the ice cream lady had run out of ice cream.
00:45So when Thomas arrived at the ice cream factory,
00:48the factory manager was waiting for him.
00:51We have to make lots more ice cream, he cried.
00:54You must go and get the cream, the chocolate and the strawberries.
00:59Thomas was disappointed.
01:01He had lots to collect.
01:03And he wanted to take children to the seaside.
01:06If we get everything in time, said Thomas' driver,
01:10then we can still take some children.
01:13So Thomas rushed to the dairy.
01:17He collected the cream.
01:20And he puffed away quickly.
01:27Next, Thomas had to collect some strawberries.
01:30So he raced through the countryside to Farmer McCole's.
01:37Then Thomas had to stop for James.
01:40Out of the way, snorted James.
01:42Passenger train coming through.
01:44James' carriages were full of laughing children.
01:48They were going to the seaside.
01:51Why does James get to take the children?
01:54Moaned Thomas.
01:57At last, the crossing was clear and Thomas puffed away.
02:01If I'm quick, I can still take some of the children, he puffed.
02:12So Thomas raced as fast as he could.
02:18Soon, Thomas arrived at Farmer McCole's.
02:22Please be quick, Thomas panted.
02:25The farm workers loaded his freight car.
02:29Before long, it was filled with plump, ripe strawberries.
02:33Thank you, Thomas chuffed.
02:36And he raced away.
02:42Next, he had to go to the chocolate factory.
02:45Thomas hurried through the baking sun.
02:48I've still got time to take some children to the seaside, he panted.
02:51Thomas puffed faster and faster.
02:55His wheels clattered and his pistons pumped.
02:58But he puffed so fast, the signalman didn't change the points in time.
03:03Thomas raced down the wrong track.
03:08Thomas raced down the wrong track.
03:15Bother, cried Thomas.
03:20Thomas had to reverse slowly and carefully back to the points.
03:28Then, he had to wait while Toby went past.
03:32Toby was taking more children to the seaside.
03:34They were having a wonderful time.
03:38Everyone gets to take their children except me, moaned Thomas.
03:43At last, the signalman changed the points.
03:50Thomas reversed back onto the track.
03:54And soon, he was on his way once again.
04:01When Thomas arrived at the chocolate factory, it was getting late.
04:12Hurry up, cried Thomas.
04:15If I'm quick, I might still get to take some children.
04:20The workmen loaded Thomas' freight car as fast as they could.
04:25It was soon filled with heaps of chocolatey cocoa powder.
04:29Thomas was ready to go.
04:31But the shunters hadn't released the brakes on the freight cars.
04:37Thomas pulled as hard as he could.
04:40But the freight cars wouldn't move.
04:42I have to hurry, puffed Thomas.
04:45He heaved, he huffed, and he puffed and he heaved so hard.
04:50The coupling broke.
04:52Thomas shot forward.
04:53Cocoa powder flew everywhere.
04:57Now I'll never get to take the children, puffed Thomas.
05:04After a long time, Thomas' freight cars were ready.
05:10The yard manager had released the brakes, and Thomas chuffed carefully out of the yard.
05:17Finally, the track turned left past the old church.
05:30Thomas arrived at the ice cream factory.
05:33He thought his job was nearly done, but he was wrong.
05:37The factory manager was waiting for him.
05:40The ice cream will soon be ready, he said.
05:43You must take it to the seaside for me.
05:45Thomas was very disappointed.
05:48He wished he could take children to the seaside instead.
05:52He wanted to hear them cheer when they saw the sea.
05:58Thomas puffed along the coast to the seaside.
06:01I wish I was taking the children, sighed Thomas.
06:07Percy was waiting at the seaside station, and so were lots of children.
06:16They all cheered as Thomas pulled into the station.
06:20Thomas was surprised.
06:22Why are the children cheering, puffed Thomas.
06:25They're cheering for you, laughed Percy.
06:28They've been waiting for the ice cream.
06:30The children were delighted to see Thomas, and delighted to eat the ice cream.
06:35Thomas loved seeing the children laugh and cheer.
06:40Sir Topham Hatt was waiting with the children.
06:43Today you have worked extra hard, said Sir Topham Hatt.
06:47You are a really useful engine.
06:50Delivering ice cream is a fun job after all, puffed Thomas.
06:55He was very happy.
06:56Sir Topham Hatt.
06:57Sir Topham Hatt.
06:58Sir Topham Hatt.
06:59Sir Topham Hatt.
07:00Sir Topham Hatt.
