Ringo Starr: Thomas is a tank engine who lives at the big station of the Island of Sodor. He's a cheeky little engine with six small wheels, a short stumpy funnel, a short stumpy boiler and a short stumpy dome. He's a fussy little engine too. Always pulling coaches about ready for the big engines can take on long journeys. And when trains come in, he pulls the empty coaches away so that the big engines can go on rest. Thomas thinks no engine works has hard as he does.
Tom Clements: And best all ever... In the real world there was a little house. And on the room was a sofa. But, in an ordinary sofa, in an ordinary room. Are extraordinary heroes standing by mysterious by the zoom! There are alive kids as they walking with foot. And they shoving all the problems around the world. They are called... the Strange Children.
Pippi is packing things for her trip, when Tommy and Annika came in.
"Hi, Pippi. We came to tell you that we hope you have a fun at the Sodor." Annika said.
"Oh, thank you. I certainly will, especially since you guys are coming along." Pippi said.
"What do you mean, 'since we're coming along'?" Tommy asked.
"Oh dear, I guess I forgot to tell you." Pippi said. "I already discussed it with your your parents, too, and they said it's fine."
"Yay!" Tommy and Annika cheered as they rejoiced and left to get packed.
Village: Harbor (2 days later)
Two days later at the harbor, Pippi, Tommy and Annika have their things packed and are ready to leave on a ship.
"Bye Tommy, bye Annika!" Mrs. Settergren said.
"Why don't you send us a postcard while you're there?" Mr. Settergren suggested.
"We will!" Annika said from the ship.
Then, the ship left the harbor and out into the open sea.
