[000:00:05;406] THE WINTER HOLIDAY SEASON
[000:00:07;408] IS ALWAYS SPECIAL
[000:00:07;408] ON THE ISLAND OF SODOR.
[000:00:11;545] THERE ARE PRESENTS AND PRIZES
[000:00:14;515] AND GIFTS AND SURPRISES
[000:00:17;817] FOR EVERYONE.
[000:00:20;421] ( Gulls Cawing )
[000:00:21;721] ONE SNOWY DAY EDWARD AND THOMAS
[000:00:21;721] WERE AT BRENDAM DOCKS.
[000:00:26;593] THOMAS WAS SHUNTING CARS
[000:00:26;593] OF BRIGHTLY WRAPPED PRESENTS.
[000:00:30;597] "OH, MY, THOMAS.
[000:00:32;900] "THE WINTER HOLIDAY SEASON
[000:00:34;935] IS MY FAVORITE TIME
[000:00:34;935] OF THE YEAR."
[000:00:37;804] "IT'S MINE, TOO,
[000:00:37;804] EDWARD."
[000:00:39;706] JUST THEN SALTY TRUNDLED OVER.
[000:00:43;210] "HELLO, ME HEARTIES.
[000:00:44;511] ( Horn Honking )
[000:00:45;745] "OH, THAT'S A FINE LOAD
[000:00:45;745] OF PRESENTS YOU HAVE THERE.
[000:00:48;949] EVERY ONE A SURPRISE."
[000:00:51;785] "THAT'S RIGHT, SALTY.
[000:00:53;653] "NOW I MUST HURRY
[000:00:53;653] TO DELIVER THEM
[000:00:55;622] "TO KNAPFORD STATION.
[000:00:57;457] THEY MUST BE THERE IN TIME
[000:00:57;457] FOR THE CHILDREN'S PARTY."
[000:01:00;394] ( Toot-Toot! )
[000:01:02;562] "SALTY, DO YOU LIKE
[000:01:02;562] PRESENTS AND PARTIES?"
[000:01:06;433] SALTY SMILED.
[000:01:08;201] "OH, I DON'T HAVE TIME
[000:01:09;936] "FOR PRESENTS AND PARTIES,
[000:01:09;936] ME HEARTY.
[000:01:12;239] ( Chuckles )
[000:01:13;440] "I LOVE A GOOD STORY, ME.
[000:01:16;243] THAT'S ALL I NEED."
[000:01:17;977] ( Chuckles )
[000:01:19;913] SALTY CHUGGED AWAY CHEERFULLY.
[000:01:23;250] EDWARD WHEESHED WORRIED.
[000:01:25;718] "I'M SURE A GOOD STORY
[000:01:25;718] ISN'T ALL SALTY NEEDS.
[000:01:30;257] "SALTY NEEDS
[000:01:30;257] A WINTER HOLIDAY PRESENT.
[000:01:34;594] "I WILL FIND HIM ONE AT ONCE.
[000:01:37;464] "VICTOR WILL HAVE SOMETHING
[000:01:37;464] FOR SALTY.
[000:01:41;234] AND EDWARD HUFFED HAPPILY AWAY
[000:01:41;234] TO THE STEAMWORKS.
[000:01:45;005] ( Toot! )
[000:01:46;339] VICTOR AND KEVIN WERE THERE.
[000:01:48;475] "HELLO, VICTOR.
[000:01:48;475] HELLO, KEVIN.
[000:01:51;411] "I'VE COME TO FIND A WINTER
[000:01:51;411] HOLIDAY PRESENT FOR SALTY."
[000:01:55;515] "WELL, THAT'S
[000:01:55;515] A VERY GOOD IDEA, EDWARD.
[000:01:58;819] CHUFF AROUND UNTIL YOU FIND
[000:01:58;819] SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR SALTY."
[000:02:03;489] "THANK YOU, VICTOR."
[000:02:05;859] THEN EDWARD SAW ROSIE.
[000:02:08;895] SHE WAS SHINING AND SMILING
[000:02:11;865] WITH A BRIGHT NEW COAT
[000:02:11;865] OF PAINT.
[000:02:14;468] AN IDEA FLEW INTO
[000:02:14;468] EDWARD'S FUNNEL.
[000:02:17;937] "I WILL TAKE SALTY
[000:02:17;937] A POT OF BRIGHT PAINT."
[000:02:22;942] SO EDWARD CHUFFED
[000:02:22;942] CHEERFULLY BACK TO THE DOCKS
[000:02:26;980] AND TO SALTY.
[000:02:29;082] "SALTY, I'VE BROUGHT YOU
[000:02:29;082] A HAPPY WINTER HOLIDAY PRESENT.
[000:02:35;155] "IT'S A POT
[000:02:35;155] OF BRIGHT GREEN PAINT.
[000:02:38;291] NOW YOU CAN BE AS GREEN
[000:02:38;291] AS A CHRISTMAS TREE."
[000:02:41;894] SALTY WAS SURPRISED.
[000:02:44;364] "OH, SHIVER ME TIMBERS,
[000:02:44;364] EDWARD.
[000:02:46;433] "I'VE A STORY
[000:02:46;433] ABOUT GREEN PAINT.
[000:02:49;369] "TELL ME, SALTY."
[000:02:51;071] "ARR, WELL, ONCE LONG AGO,
[000:02:53;706] "THERE WAS NO RED PAINT
[000:02:53;706] ON THE ISLAND.
[000:02:57;443] "SO THEMS IN CHARGE
[000:02:57;443] PAINTED ME GREEN.
[000:03:02;048] "BUT THEN NO ONE COULD FIND ME
[000:03:05;618] "BECAUSE THEY WERE ALL STILL
[000:03:05;618] A-LOOKING FOR A RED ENGINE.
[000:03:10;723] "SO, YOU SEE, I COULD NEVER
[000:03:10;723] BE PAINTED GREEN AGAIN.
[000:03:15;362] BUT I THANK YE, EDWARD,
[000:03:15;362] FOR YOUR KINDNESS."
[000:03:18;899] EDWARD'S FIREBOX FIZZED.
[000:03:21;568] "THAT WAS A GOOD STORY."
[000:03:23;703] SALTY CHUCKLED.
[000:03:25;238] "I LIKES A GOOD STORY, ME."
[000:03:27;474] ( Chuckles )
[000:03:31;745] SO EDWARD CLICKETY-CLACKED
[000:03:31;745] BACK ALONG THE TRACK
[000:03:35;715] TO THE STEAMWORKS.
[000:03:37;284] VICTOR WAS SURPRISED.
[000:03:39;252] "SALTY DIDN'T WANT
[000:03:39;252] TO BE GREEN.
[000:03:41;588] I MUST FIND HIM
[000:03:41;588] ANOTHER PRESENT."
[000:03:44;023] KEVIN BEAMED.
[000:03:45;659] "I HAVE ONE FOR YOU, EDWARD.
[000:03:47;527] FOLLOW ME."
[000:03:50;664] KEVIN HELD HIGH
[000:03:50;664] THE FANCY FUNNEL.
[000:03:53;900] EDWARD WHEESHED WORRIED.
[000:03:55;868] "SALTY'S A DIESEL, KEVIN.
[000:03:58;070] HE DOESN'T NEED A FUNNEL."
[000:03:59;906] "I KNOW,
[000:03:59;906] BUT THIS ONE IS FANCY."
[000:04:03;743] EDWARD HAD TO AGREE.
[000:04:06;145] SALTY MIGHT LIKE
[000:04:06;145] A FANCY FUNNEL.
[000:04:09;416] SO EDWARD RACED LIKE THE WIND
[000:04:09;416] ALL THE WAY TO SALTY.
[000:04:15;288] "HAPPY WINTER HOLIDAY,
[000:04:15;288] SALTY.

[000:04:46;786] "CRANKY LOWERED IT ONTO ME.
[000:04:49;755] "THEN THE STRANGEST THING
[000:04:49;755] HAPPENED.
[000:04:53;626] "ARR.
[000:04:54;927] "IT SHOOK AND IT SHUDDERED.
[000:04:57;497] "IT WOBBLED AND IT WIBBLED

[000:05:13;380] BUT I WON'T BE TAKING
[000:05:13;380] YOUR FANCY FUNNEL."
[000:05:17;217] EDWARD WHISTLED.
[000:05:18;784] ( Toot! )

[000:05:24;290] I LIKES A GOOD STORY, ME."
[000:05:26;559] ( Chuckles )
[000:05:28;394] SO EDWARD STEAMED
[000:05:28;394] SLOWLY AWAY
[000:05:31;631] AND LEFT THE FANCY FUNNEL
[000:05:31;631] WITH KEVIN
[000:05:34;634] TO FIND ANOTHER WINTER
[000:05:34;634] HOLIDAY PRESENT FOR SALTY.
[000:05:39;505] NOW EDWARD WAS WORRIED.
[000:05:42;308] "OH ME, OH MY.
[000:05:44;745] I MUST FIND A PRESENT

[000:07:20;172] EDWARD THOUGHT

[000:07:24;010] "A STORY.
[000:07:26;646] OF COURSE, THAT'S WHAT YOU'VE
[000:07:26;646] BEEN TELLING ME ALL ALONG."
