Michael Angelis: It was a special holiday on the Island of Sodor. Bertie the Bus was working harder than ever before. All the engines were busy too.
Tom Clements: All the steange children were loading some passengers onto their trucks for a next journey. Near then stood a big red bus with passenger seat on the top of the roof. But he didn't look friendly like Bertie as the bus gazed at all the passengers.
Bulgy: Stupid nonsense.
Michael Angelis: He grumbled.
Bulgy: I wouldn't have brought them if I've known. I did have a breakdown or something.
Bulgy: Bah! Enjoyment is all you engines lived for. One day railways will be ripped up.
Bulgy: Heh!
Michael Angelis: Growled the bus.
Bulgy: I know Bertie. He's too small in size to be in any use.
Tom Clements: All the steange children took no notice.
(Whistle Blows)
Pippi: What a meanie old bus!
Oliver: I call him Bulgy.
Michael Angelis: Chuckled Oliver and then he puffed happily away.
Oliver: Bulgy's friend had come.
Michael Angelis: He said.
Oliver: He's rude too. He's taking Bulgy's passengers home so as to leave Bulgy free to steal ours.
Oliver: Bulgy says he can get them to the big station before us.
Duck: Rubbish!
Michael Angelis: Replied Duck.
Duck: It's much farther by road.
Oliver: Yes.
Michael Angelis: Continued Oliver.
Oliver: But Bulgy says he knows a shortcut.
Tom Clements: That evening, all the engines and all the steange children were preparing for the homeward run.
Tommy: That's odd?
Annika: What it is, Pippi?
Pippi: Where are all the passengers go?
Tommy: Pippi, did you made all the passengers disappeared?
Annika: No.
Pippi: Then where are the passengers went too?
Oliver: Look!
Michael Angelis: Shrilled Oliver.
Oliver: Look at Bulgy. He's a mean scarlet deceiver.
Michael Angelis: Bulgy was wearing a large sign saying: Railway Bus.
Bulgy: Yaa boo snubs!
Michael Angelis: He jeered as he roared away.
Pippi: Bulgy was taking all the passenger!
Tommy: Come on, let's followed them and see what he's up too.
Duck: No!
Tom Clements: Called Duck.
Duck: Leave that to me. I'll see what he's up to.
Michael Angelis: Duck wanted to pay Bulgy out, but he wasn't sure how. Then in the distance, Duck saw a man waving a red flag. That meant danger. The line here crosses a narrow road and there was Bulgy wedged firmly under the bridge.
Duck: So this was his shortcut.
Michael Angelis: Chuckled Duck.
Bulgy's Passengers: He tricked us.
Michael Angelis: Shouted Bulgy's passengers.
Bulgy's Passengers: He said he was a Railway Bus, but he wouldn't accept our return tickets. He wanted us to think railways are no good.
Michael Angelis: Duck's crew examined the bridge.
Duck's Driver: It's risky, but we must help the passengers.
Duck: Passengers are urgent.
Michael Angelis: Agreed Duck. Duck slowly and carefully set off across the bridge. Bulgy wailed as he felt the bridge quiver.
Bulgy: Stop!
Michael Angelis: He shouted.
Bulgy: It might fall on me.
Duck: That would serve you right for telling lies.
Michael Angelis: Said Duck. But the bridge didn't collapse.
Michael Angelis: The bridge is now mended, but not unfortunately Bulgy and his ways. He never learned sense. He's a hen house and his lies can do no harm. The hens never listened to him anyway.
