[000:00:04;838] Storyteller:
[000:00:04;838] ON THE ISLAND OF SODOR,
[000:00:06;573] IT WAS WINTERTIME.
[000:00:08;742] SNOW LAY THICK ON THE GROUND.
[000:00:12;479] ONE MORNING, THOMAS AND CHARLIE
[000:00:12;479] WERE SHUNTING FREIGHT CARS.
[000:00:16;583] "'ONE BIFF, ONE BASH
[000:00:16;583] AND THERE'S NEVER A CRASH.'
[000:00:21;155] THAT'S WHAT BASH,
[000:00:21;155] DASH AND FERDINAND SAY."
[000:00:24;024] "THAT'S FUNNY, THOMAS!
[000:00:26;326] "ONE BIFF, ONE BASH...
[000:00:29;295] ( Crashing )
[000:00:31;231] AND THERE'S ALWAYS A CRASH!"
[000:00:33;867] THOMAS AND CHARLIE
[000:00:33;867] GIGGLED AND JIGGLED.
[000:00:37;070] THE FREIGHT CARS
[000:00:37;070] RUMBLED AND GRUMBLED.
[000:00:40;107] "SNOW'S FUN, THOMAS!
[000:00:42;409] I LIKE SNOW!"
[000:00:44;144] "I LIKE SNOW,
[000:00:45;712] "BUT I DON'T LIKE
[000:00:45;712] WEARING MY SNOWPLOW!
[000:00:49;015] "SIR TOPHAM HATT HAS TOLD ME
[000:00:50;550] I MUST GO AND PUT IT ON
[000:00:50;550] RIGHT AWAY."
[000:00:53;153] "I'LL TELL YOU A JOKE, THOMAS.
[000:00:55;522] THAT'LL MAKE YOU HAPPIER!"
[000:00:57;390] THOMAS LIKED CHARLIE'S JOKES.
[000:00:59;993] "YES, PLEASE, CHARLIE."
[000:01:01;595] "WHAT DO SNOWMEN
[000:01:01;595] HAVE FOR BREAKFAST?"
[000:01:05;999] "I DON'T KNOW."
[000:01:07;968] "SNOWFLAKES!"
[000:01:09;636] ( Laughs )
[000:01:11;871] "THAT'S FUNNY!"
[000:01:13;040] ( Laughs )
[000:01:14;174] AND THOMAS CHUFFED AWAY,
[000:01:14;174] CHUCKLING.
[000:01:17;610] ( Whistle Toots )
[000:01:19;112] HENRY WAS HUFFING
[000:01:19;112] DOWN GORDON'S HILL.
[000:01:21;714] HE WAS STEAMING VERY SLOWLY.
[000:01:24;551] HENRY WASN'T HAPPY.
[000:01:27;220] "HELLO, HENRY,
[000:01:27;220] WHAT'S THE MATTER?"
[000:01:29;823] HENRY HEAVED HEAVILY.
[000:01:31;958] "IT'S THE SNOW.
[000:01:33;993] "I DON'T LIKE THE SNOW.
[000:01:36;262] "I SLIP.
[000:01:37;331] "I SLIDE.
[000:01:38;432] "I SLITHER.
[000:01:39;966] IT MAKES MY WHEELS WOBBLE."
[000:01:42;235] "SNOW'S FUN, HENRY!"
[000:01:44;470] "NO, IT ISN'T!
[000:01:46;606] "I HAVE TO TAKE COAL CARS
[000:01:46;606] TO BRENDAM.
[000:01:49;475] "IF I PULL A LONG, HEAVY TRAIN,
[000:01:52;478] "I MIGHT TOPPLE OFF THE TRACK.
[000:01:55;348] "SO I'M TAKING A FEW AT A TIME.
[000:01:59;052] IT WILL TAKE ME ALL DAY."
[000:02:01;822] CHARLIE SMILED.
[000:02:04;024] "OOH, I'LL TELL YOU A JOKE,
[000:02:04;024] HENRY.
[000:02:06;326] THEN YOU'LL LAUGH ALL THE WAY."
[000:02:09;162] "NO, THANK YOU, CHARLIE.
[000:02:11;431] I HAVE A LOT TO DO."
[000:02:13;667] CHARLIE WATCHED HENRY
[000:02:13;667] PUFF AWAY.
[000:02:16;603] HENRY LOOKED
[000:02:16;603] WORRIED AND WOBBLY.
[000:02:19;272] THEN AN IDEA
[000:02:19;272] FLEW INTO CHARLIE'S FUNNEL.
[000:02:23;143] "I CAN SHOW YOU SNOW IS FUN!"
[000:02:27;580] CHARLIE CLICKETY-CLACKED
[000:02:29;149] ALONG THE TRACKS.
[000:02:30;683] "I KNOW WHERE
[000:02:30;683] THERE'S THE BIG SNOWMAN
[000:02:33;220] "ON HENRY'S TRACK TO BRENDAM.
[000:02:36;023] OOH, I CAN PUFF THERE
[000:02:36;023] BEFORE HENRY!"
[000:02:40;793] CHARLIE PUFFED INTO A SIDING.
[000:02:43;763] SOMEONE HAD BUILT
[000:02:43;763] A LARGE SNOWMAN THERE.
[000:02:47;300] "I WILL HIDE HERE.
[000:02:48;902] HENRY WILL NEVER SEE ME NOW."
[000:02:51;838] THEN CHARLIE HEARD
[000:02:54;040] THE SLOW CLICKETY-CLACK
[000:02:54;040] OF HENRY'S WHEELS ON THE TRACK.
[000:02:58;412] CHARLIE WAS EXCITED.
[000:02:59;780] ( Giggles )
[000:03:00;880] HENRY PUFFED UP TO THE SNOWMAN.
[000:03:04;418] ( Charlie Laughs )
[000:03:05;786] "HELLO, HENRY!
[000:03:07;821] SHALL I TELL YOU A JOKE?"
[000:03:09;856] HENRY STOPPED SUDDENLY.
[000:03:11;958] HENRY WAS SURPRISED.
[000:03:14;160] "WHO SAID THAT?"
[000:03:15;962] HENRY LOOKED AROUND.
[000:03:17;997] HE COULDN'T SEE ANOTHER ENGINE.
[000:03:20;033] HE COULD ONLY SEE THE SNOWMAN.
[000:03:22;436] ( Chuckles )
[000:03:23;503] "I DID.
[000:03:25;071] WHAT SORT OF BALL
[000:03:25;071] DOESN'T BOUNCE?"
[000:03:28;074] HENRY STUTTERED,
[000:03:28;074] HENRY STAMMERED.
[000:03:30;877] "UM..."
[000:03:31;945] HE'D NEVER MET
[000:03:31;945] A TALKING SNOWMAN BEFORE.
[000:03:34;714] "I DON'T KNOW."
[000:03:37;917] "A SNOWBALL!"
[000:03:40;153] THE SNOWMAN LAUGHED.
[000:03:42;088] HENRY WOBBLED.
[000:03:44;057] "OH ME, OH MY.
[000:03:46;626] A LAUGHING SNOWMAN!"
[000:03:48;862] AND HENRY STEAMED QUICKLY AWAY.
[000:03:51;765] CHARLIE WAS PUZZLED.
[000:03:53;767] "PERHAPS HENRY DIDN'T THINK
[000:03:53;767] THAT JOKE WAS FUNNY.
[000:03:57;170] "I'LL WAIT UNTIL HE PUFFS BACK
[000:03:57;170] FOR MORE COAL CARS.
[000:04:00;640] "I HAVE ANOTHER JOKE.
[000:04:02;609] I'M SURE HENRY
[000:04:02;609] WILL FIND THAT ONE FUNNY."
[000:04:06;780] CHARLIE WAITED.
[000:04:08;882] HENRY HUFFED SLOWLY
[000:04:08;882] ROUND THE BEND.
[000:04:11;952] CHARLIE SMILED.
[000:04:13;954] HENRY LOOKED AT THE SNOWMAN.
[000:04:16;656] HENRY LOOKED WORRIED.
[000:04:18;324] "HELLO, HENRY.
[000:04:20;460] I HAVE ANOTHER JOKE FOR YOU."
[000:04:23;363] HENRY GASPED AND GULPED.
[000:04:25;832] HE LOOKED AROUND.
[000:04:27;433] THERE WAS STILL
[000:04:27;433] NO OTHER ENGINE THERE.
[000:04:30;103] "WHAT DO SNOWMEN
[000:04:30;103] EAT FOR LUNCH?"
[000:04:33;907] HENRY STUTTERED.
[000:04:35;442] HENRY STAMMERED.
[000:04:36;710] "I--I REALLY DON'T KNOW."
[000:04:40;280] "ICEBERG-ERS!"
[000:04:40;280] ( Laughs )
[000:04:42;582] THE SNOWMAN LAUGHED.
[000:04:44;751] HENRY WOBBLED.
[000:04:46;086] "OH ME, OH MY.
[000:04:49;422] THIS IS VERY STRANGE."
[000:04:52;559] AND HENRY
[000:04:52;559] HUFFED HURRIEDLY AWAY.
[000:04:55;795] CHARLIE SIGHED.
[000:04:57;631] "I WAS SURE HENRY WOULD FIND
[000:04:57;631] MY TALKING SNOWMAN FUNNY.
[000:05:02;602] "OH, I HAVE ANOTHER JOKE!
[000:05:04;571] "WHEN HENRY CHUFFS BACK,
[000:05:06;339] HE'S SURE TO FIND
[000:05:06;339] THAT ONE FUNNY!"
[000:05:10;276] LATER HENRY PUFFED SLOWLY BACK
[000:05:12;812] WITH SOME MORE COAL CARS.
[000:05:14;581] HE PEERED AT THE SNOWMAN,
[000:05:14;581] WORRIED.
[000:05:17;984] CHARLIE WAS WAITING
[000:05:17;984] WITH HIS BEST JOKE.
[000:05:21;020] "HELLO, HENRY.
[000:05:22;389] HOW DO SNOWMEN
[000:05:22;389] GREET EACH OTHER?"
[000:05:25;525] HENRY STUTTERED.
[000:05:27;160] HENRY STAMMERED.
[000:05:28;662] "ICE TO MEET YOU!"
[000:05:30;997] CHARLIE GIGGLED AND JIGGLED.
[000:05:33;066] HENRY SHIVERED AND SHOOK.
[000:05:35;101] "OH ME, OH MY.
[000:05:37;571] "A GIGGLING, JIGGLING SNOWMAN!
[000:05:40;574] THIS IS STRANGER THAN EVER!"
[000:05:43;910] AND HENRY
[000:05:43;910] ROLLED AWAY IN REVERSE.
[000:05:46;747] CHARLIE ROLLED OUT
[000:05:46;747] FROM HIS HIDING PLACE.
[000:05:49;716] "STOP, HENRY!
[000:05:51;417] "STOP!
[000:05:52;518] "IT'S ME, CHARLIE!
[000:05:54;154] I WAS JUST TRYING
[000:05:54;154] TO MAKE YOU LAUGH IN THE SNOW!"
[000:05:57;791] BUT HENRY
[000:05:57;791] HAD ALREADY PUFFED AWAY.
[000:06:02;762] CHARLIE HAD LOOKED
[000:06:02;762] FOR HENRY EVERYWHERE.
[000:06:06;166] AT LAST, HE PUFFED UP
[000:06:06;166] TO TIDMOUTH SHEDS.
[000:06:09;869] "HELLO, THOMAS!
[000:06:11;771] HAVE YOU SEEN HENRY?"
[000:06:13;472] THOMAS WAS WORRIED.
[000:06:15;441] "HE'S IN THERE,
[000:06:17;243] BUT HE WON'T COME OUT!"
[000:06:19;679] "HENRY!
[000:06:21;381] ( Whistle Toots )
[000:06:22;382] "IT'S ME, CHARLIE!
[000:06:24;083] I WAS THE TALKING SNOWMAN."
[000:06:26;753] HENRY DIDN'T MAKE
[000:06:26;753] A PEEP OR A PUFF.
[000:06:29;922] "I'M SORRY, HENRY.
[000:06:32;025] "I THOUGHT YOU'D FIND
[000:06:32;025] SNOWMEN TELLING JOKES FUNNY,
[000:06:35;795] "BUT I'VE ONLY MADE YOU SCARED
[000:06:37;997] "AND LATE WITH
[000:06:37;997] YOUR COAL DELIVERIES.
[000:06:40;867] "I WANTED TO MAKE YOU LAUGH
[000:06:42;669] TO SHOW YOU THAT SNOW IS FUN."
[000:06:45;505] "I DON'T THINK
[000:06:45;505] SNOW IS FUN.
[000:06:47;807] IT FIZZES MY FIREBOX
[000:06:47;807] AND WHIPS IN MY WHISTLE!"
[000:06:51;978] "I DON'T THINK
[000:06:51;978] SNOW IS FUN EITHER.
[000:06:54;881] "I HAVE TO
[000:06:54;881] CHUFF CAREFULLY.
[000:06:56;849] AND SOMETIMES
[000:06:56;849] I'M LATE."
[000:06:59;919] CHARLIE LISTENED.
[000:07:01;788] CHARLIE THOUGHT.
[000:07:03;690] "HENRY, I WON'T TRY AND
[000:07:03;690] MAKE YOU HAVE FUN IN THE SNOW,
[000:07:07;226] "BUT I WOULD LIKE TO HELP YOU.
[000:07:09;262] "CAN I BE YOUR BACK ENGINE?
[000:07:11;531] "THEN WE CAN DELIVER
[000:07:11;531] YOUR COAL ON TIME.
[000:07:14;166] I'LL CHUFF VERY CAREFULLY
[000:07:14;166] WITH YOU."
[000:07:17;504] ( Whistle Toots )
[000:07:18;538] HENRY HOOTED.
[000:07:20;172] HENRY'S DRIVER
[000:07:20;172] OPENED HENRY'S DOOR.
[000:07:22;942] "THANK YOU, CHARLIE.
[000:07:24;377] I WOULD LIKE THAT."
[000:07:28;147] HENRY AND CHARLIE
[000:07:28;147] CHUFFED CAREFULLY.
[000:07:30;750] THEY PUFFED PAST CHILDREN
[000:07:30;750] PLAYING IN THE SNOW.
[000:07:34;354] HENRY CHUCKLED AT THEIR GAME.
[000:07:37;490] THEY PUFFED PAST SOME BIRDS
[000:07:37;490] SINGING SWEETLY IN THE SNOW.
[000:07:41;761] HENRY SMILED AT THEIR SONG.
[000:07:44;731] THEN THEY PUFFED PAST A TREE
[000:07:44;731] WITH BRIGHT COLORED LIGHTS.
[000:07:49;436] HENRY GASPED WITH DELIGHT.
[000:07:53;573] AT LAST, ALL THE COAL
[000:07:53;573] WAS DELIVERED.
[000:07:57;076] "THANK YOU, HENRY.
[000:07:58;845] "YOU'VE SHOWN ME
[000:07:58;845] LOTS OF DIFFERENT THINGS
[000:08:01;448] CAN BE FUN IN THE SNOW."
[000:08:03;349] THEN THEY
[000:08:03;349] PUFFED PAST THE SNOWMAN.
[000:08:07;720] HENRY STEAMED TO A STOP.
[000:08:09;989] "CHARLIE?"
[000:08:11;457] "YES, HENRY?"
[000:08:12;658] "I'D LIKE TO HEAR
[000:08:12;658] A JOKE NOW."
[000:08:15;128] CHARLIE BEAMED
[000:08:15;128] FROM BUFFER TO BUFFER.
[000:08:18;631] "OF COURSE, HENRY!
[000:08:21;167] ( Clears Throat )
[000:08:22;168] HOW DO SNOWMEN TRAVEL AROUND?"
[000:08:25;906] "I DON'T KNOW, CHARLIE."
[000:08:28;608] "BY ICICLE!"
[000:08:31;477] AND THE TWO ENGINES
[000:08:32;845] CHUCKLED AND CHORTLED
[000:08:32;845] IN THE SNOW.
[000:08:35;414] AND HENRY WAS SURE
[000:08:35;414] THAT MAYBE, JUST MAYBE,
[000:08:40;086] HE SAW THE SNOWMAN SMILE.
