*Percy and pug*
one day thomas and percy were talking in tidmouth sheds.
'guess what percy the fat controller says that a visitor is coming today' said thomas.
'bust my buffers i wonder who it is' said percy.
just then they heard a whistle.
'bust my buffers i know who that is' said percy.
just then a black saddle tank engine puffed onto the turntable.
'pug it's you!' cried percy.
'hello percy it's been a very long time since i last saw you' said pug.
'you know this engine percy' said thomas.
'yes thomas me and pug used to work together before the fat controller brought me' said percy.
'hello there thomas nice to see you' said pug.
'you too pug nice to see you' said thomas.
'what are you doing on sodor then' said percy.
'the fat controller has borrowed me to help out with the goods traffic' said pug.
just then the fat controller arrived.
'ah percy i see you and pug have been reunited' said the fat controller.
'yes sir we have' said percy.
'percy i would like you and pug to work together today to deliver some new tractor parts to farmer mccoll's farm because his old tractor needs repairing' said the fat controller.
'right away sir' said percy.
'on it sir' said pug.
'there's good engines now off you puff' said the fat controller.
and he walked away. and percy and pug set off.
'see you later percy' said thomas.
'see you later thomas' said percy.
soon percy and pug arrived at the yards to collect the flatbeds of parts and were coupled up to them.
'it's great working with you percy' said pug.
'it's great to be working with you too pug' said percy.
with that percy and pug blew their whistles and set off. soon percy and pug were puffing along the mainline.
'i am so happy that pug has come to help out and i am also happy to be working with him too' said percy.
and the two tank engines continued their way. soon percy and pug had to stop at a signal. henry was there too.
'hello percy who is your friend' said henry.
'this is pug henry he is an old friend of mine' said percy.
'hello henry it's nice to see you' said pug.
'hello there pug what brings you to sodor' said henry.
'me and percy are taking parts to farmer mccolls farms so that he can fix his tractor' said pug.
'that sounds like a very important job' said henry.
'thank you henry it is' said pug.
just then the signal went green.
'sorry henry but we better be off' said percy.
'see you later then pug' said henry.
'goodbye henry take care' said pug.
and with that percy and pug puffed off. soon percy and pug had to stop at another signal. toby was there with henrietta, victoria and elsie.
'hello percy who is your friend' said toby.
'he looks very sweet' said henrietta.
'and good looking' said victoria.
'and really useful looking' said elsie.
'this is pug toby he is an old friend of mine' said percy.
'hello toby it's nice to meet a tram engine like you' said pug.
'hello pug what brings you to sodor' said toby.
'me and percy are taking parts to farmer mccolls farm so that he can fix his tractor' said pug.
'that sounds like a special job' said toby.
'thank you toby it is' said pug.
just then the signal went green.
'sorry toby but we better be off' said percy.
'see you later then pug' said toby.
'goodbye toby and take care' said pug.
and with that percy and pug puffed off. soon percy and pug had to stop at another signal. emily was there too.
'hello percy who is your friend' said emily.
'this is pug emily he is an old friend of mine' said percy.
'hello emily it's nice to meet a pretty engine like you' said pug.
'aye hello pug what brings you to sodor' said emily.
'me and percy are taking parts to farmer mccolls farm so that he can fix his tractor' said pug.
'is that so well good luck then' said emily.
'thank you for the luck emily' said pug.
just then the signal went green.
'sorry emily but we better be going' said percy.
'aye see you later then pug' said emily.
'goodbye emily and take care' said pug.
and with that percy and pug set off. soon percy and pug arrived at a junction. there were two tracks. one went down what looked like a rundown branchline and the other was all straight track.
'i think we should go straight ahead pug' said percy.
'actually percy i think we will get to farmer mccolls farm quicker if we went the other way' said pug.
'but pug that track looks very bumpy and bouncy to me' said percy.
'trust me percy it's the best way to go' said pug.
'well alright then let's go your way then' said percy.
so percy and pug puffed down the old track. then there was trouble. as percy and pug went down the track it was very bumpy indeed. the two tank engines bumped and banged about. the flatbed clattered and shook. suddenly parts started to fly out of the flatbed. some of them hit pug in the face.
'bust my buffers stop!' said pug.
'flatten my funnel what's happening!' said percy.
percy screeched to a halt. the last of the parts went flying. parts were all over the tracks. percy and pug felt very bad.
'this is all my fault percy we should of gone your way i've just wrecked everything!' said pug.
'don't say that pug it was just an accident' said percy.
'but there's parts everywhere what are we going to do' said pug.
just then an idea flew into percy's funnel.
'why don't we ask both our drivers and firemen to pick up all of the parts after that we can take another shortcut to the farm' said percy.
'that's a brilliant idea percy but we better be quick about it though' said pug.
soon all of the parts were put back on the flatbeds. then percy and pug changed onto another smooth piece of track and whizzed off. soon percy and pug were racing down the line.
'this is much smoother' said pug.
'we'll be at farmer mccolls in no time now' said percy.
the two speedy engines raced past james.
'watch my paintwork you two and slow down!' said james.
'sorry james!' said percy.
'but we are in a hurry!' said pug.
at last the two engines raced into farmer mccolls farm. farmer mccoll was very pleased.
'well done percy and pug you two got here just in time you really are really useful engines' said farmer mccoll.
'thank you farmer mccoll' said percy.
'sorry about the holdup' said pug.
'now about those parts' said farmer mccoll.
soon farmer mccolls tractor was as good as new.
'wow it looks great' said percy.
'it looks like you just brought it sir' said pug.
farmer mccoll climbed into the tractor.
'time for a test run i reckon' said farmer mccoll.
then there was trouble. just as farmer mccoll was turning on the engine katie the sheepdog jumped into the tractor and knocked farmer mccoll right into the mud.
SPLAT.
mud went everywhere. even percy and pug were covered in mud. katie licked farmer mccoll all over woofing with joy.
'katie you silly dog! yuck!' cried farmer mccoll.
but percy and pug just laughed. even farmer mccoll couldn't help but chuckle.
'it looks like we will both need a bath now eh katie' said farmer mccoll.
katie barked happily. she liked having baths.
'now that's not a bad idea first engine to the washdown has to take 20 dirty trucks!' said percy racing off.
'hay wait up percy that engine is going to be me!' said pug.
and both engines raced away laughing. farmer mccoll smiled.
'those engines' he joked. and katie replied with a simple woof.
