| - Narrator: Rosie the Super Spirited Engine trundled depressingly to Henry's station. Rosie: "It's just not fair." Narrator: she complained. Rosie: "Daisy's been telling fibs about me and made Mr. Percival and all of the other engines think I'm very disturbing." Narrator: Henry smiled at Rosie. Henry: "I know you aren't, Rosie, and so does Mr. Percival, you just wait and see, why don't you help me with these freight cars?" Narrator: Rosie was feeling much more cheerful with Henry, and set out to work at once. Narrator: The freight cars were very crazy, heavy, and noisy. Narrator: The 2 railroad engines had to work real hard, pushing and pulling them all afternoon. Narrator: At last, they reached the hill top. Rosie: "Thank you, goodbye!" Narrator: said Rosie, and she rolled gently over the crossing to the other line. Narrator: Rosie loved coasting down the hill, running easily with the wind blowing past. Narrator: Suddenly, it was a signal guard's signal whistle! Freight Cars: "Yahoo, yahoo, yahoo!" Narrator: laughed the Freight Cars. Freight Cars: "We've broken away, we've broken away, chase her, bump her, throw her off the rails!" Narrator: They exclaimed in triumph. Rosie's Driver: "Hurry, Rosie, Hurry!" Narrator: exclaimed Rosie's driver. They raced around through Henry's station, but the Freight Cars were really catching up." Rosie's Driver: "Just as fast as we can, then they'll catch us gradually!" Narrator: Rosie's driver was gaining self control." Rosie's Driver: "Another clear mile, and we'll do it!" Rosie: "Oh, wow, look at that!" Narrator: Emily was just pulling out on their line from the station ahead, any single minute now, there could be a great big crash! Rosie's Driver: "It's up to you now, Rosie!" Narrator: said Rosie's driver. Rosie put every single ounce of weight and steam against the Freight Cars. Rosie: "It's way too late!" Narrator: Rosie groaned out loud, and shut her eyes. Narrator: She went into a siding where the barber set up his shop. Narrator: He was shaving 1 of his customers. Narrator: The crazy freight cars had knocked their signal guard off his feet and left him very far behind right after he had whistled the warning. Narrator: But the Freight Cars didn't care about it, they were feeling very amused with themselves. Rosie: "Beg pardon, kind sir." Narrator: Gasped Rosie in shock. Rosie: "Sorry for my intrusion." Barber: "No I won't!" Narrator: said the barber. Barber: "You terrified my customers! I'll show you!" Narrator: And he lathered Rosie's face all over. Narrator: Poor Rosie. Thomas and Percy were helping to pull the Freight Cars away when Mr. Percival arrived. Barber: "I don't like railroad engines popping through my walls!" Narrator: fumed the barber. Mr. Percival: "I understand your emotions." Narrator: said Mr. Percival. Mr. Percival: "But you must know that this railroad engine and her driver have prevented a very serious accident, it was a very clean, uh, shave indeed." Barber: "Oh." Narrator: said the barber. Barber: "Oh, excuse me." Narrator: "He filled up a bowl of nice warm water and washed Rosie's face. Barber: "I'm terribly sorry, Rosie, I didn't know you were being a very brave and heroic engine." Rosie: "That's alright, kind sir, I didn't know that either." Mr. Percival: "You were very brave and heroic, Rosie." Narrator: said Mr. Percivlal. Mr. Percival: "I'm very proud of you." Narrator: Mr. Percival watched the rescue operation, then he had more good news for Rosie. Mr. Percival: "And when you're properly washed and fixed, you're coming back home with everybody." Rosie: "Home, kind sir? do you mean the roundhouse in the yard?" Mr. Percival: "Of course, Rosie." Rosie: "But, kind sir, they don't like me, they like Daisy." Mr. Percival: "Not right now, I never believed Daisy, so I sent her packing, the other railroad engines are terribly sorry and want you back." Narrator: A few days later, when she came back home, here was a real rousing welcome for Rosie the Super Spirited Engine.
