Michael Brandon: It was the end of a busy day. The engines have been working hard. They were feeling pleased and proud, except Henry. He was feeling ill.

Thomas: What's the matter with you, Henry?

Michael Brandon: Thomas asked.

Henry: My boiler's grumbling.

Thomas: Maybe it's grumbling at you.

Michael Brandon: Teased Thomas.

Henry: That's not funny.

Michael Brandon: Hissed Henry.

Henry: You just don't care.

Michael Brandon: But Emily saw that Henry was leaving a puddle of water behind. She was worried. The next morning, Sir Topham Hatt arrived.

Sir Topham Hatt: Thomas, Percy, Henry, I want you to collect some freight cars and take them to the docks.

Thomas & Percy: Yes sir.

Michael Brandon: Cried Thomas and Percy. Henry watched the engines puff away. He didn't feel well.

Henry: Useful engines don't complain.

Michael Brandon: Henry muttered. He was leaving water everywhere as he chuffed towards the coaling plant. When Emily saw this she was more worried than ever. Then, Thomas and Percy overtook Henry.

Percy: Hurry up, Henry!

Michael Brandon: Percy tooted.

Henry: I can't go any faster.

Michael Brandon: Henry chuffed miserably.

Thomas: You're just being lazy.

Michael Brandon: Teased Thomas. By the time Thomas and Percy reached the coaling plant, they had a naughty plan.

Thomas: Please sir.

Michael Brandon: Said Thomas.

Thomas: Henry wants to take more freight cars.

Percy: He is bigger.

Michael Brandon: Added Percy. The yard manager agreed. Meanwhile, Emily was talking to Sir Topham Hatt.

Emily: I'm worried about Henry.

Sir Topham Hatt: Hmm, perhaps his tubes are leaking.

Michael Brandon: Replied Sir Topham Hatt.

Sir Topham Hatt: You better check.

Michael Brandon: By the time Henry reached the coaling plant, Thomas and Percy had already left.

Henry: Why did Thomas and Percy leave me so many freight cars?

Michael Brandon: Moaned Henry.

Henry: They know I'm not feeling well.

Henry's Driver: We'll still have to take them.

Michael Brandon: Said his driver. Henry chuffed and puffed and pulled his long line of freight cars.

Henry's Driver: You can do it, Henry.

Michael Brandon: Encouraged his driver. But it was no use. Henry ground to a halt. Just then, Emily arrived.

Emily: Are you all right, Henry?

Henry: No.

Michael Brandon: Moaned Henry.

Henry: I'm stuck.

Michael Brandon: Henry's fireman uncoupled the freight cars. Emily changed tracks and then hooked up to Henry.

Henry: Oh, thank you, Emily.

Michael Brandon: Wheeshed Henry. Emily and Henry puffed into the docks.

Sir Topham Hatt: Well done, Emily.

Michael Brandon: Said Sir Topham Hatt.

Emily: Thank you sir.

Michael Brandon: Then he spoke to Henry.

Sir Topham Hatt: You were brave Henry. You aren't well, but you still tried to pull the heavy freight cars.

Michael Brandon: Thomas and Percy felt ashamed.

Thomas: We're sorry, Henry.

Michael Brandon: Said Thomas.

Percy: We didn't think you were really sick.

Michael Brandon: Added Percy.

Sir Topham Hatt: Go back and collect Henry's freight cars.

Michael Brandon: Said Sir Topham Hatt sternly.

Thomas: Yes sir.

Michael Brandon: Whispered Thomas. Soon, Henry was mended and back at work.

Emily: You're looking so much better.

Michael Brandon: Said Emily.

Henry: Well they mended my tubes. But they didn't even look at my brakes, my gauges, my squeaky wheels.

Michael Brandon: Emily smiled.

Emily: All in good time, Henry.

Michael Brandon: Poor Henry.
