BEN: WHAT DO YOU SAY ABOUT TRUCKS, JAMES?
JAMES: DIRTY TRUCKS FROM DIRTY SIDINGS! YUCK!
SAM: COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF!
NARRATOR: STARTING WITH ONLY A FEW, THEY PICKED UP MORE AND MORE TRUCKS AT EACH STATION TILL THEY HAD A LONG TRAIN. AT FIRST THE TRUCKS BEHAVED WELL BUT JAMES BUMPED THEM SO CROSSLY THAT THEY WERE DETERMINED TO GET HIM BACK. PRESENTLY, THEY REACHED THE TOP OF GORDON'S HILL.
BEN: OH MAN. I HOPE JAMES REMEMBERS THAT HE HAD AN ACCIDENT WITH TRUCKS BEFORE!
NARRATOR: BEN WAS RIGHT TO DOUBT BECAUSE JAMES DIDN'T REMEMBER ABOUT IT.
SAM: CAN YOU WAIT A SEC JAMES? WE'RE AT THE TOP OF THE HILL NOW!
NARRATOR: BUT JAMES WOULDN'T WAIT. HE WAS STILL THINKING ABOUT WHAT HE WOULD SAY TO TOBY WHEN THEY NEXT MET.
BEN: OH THAT'S NOT GOOD!
SAM: WHAT'S WRONG?
BEN: THE TRUCKS SEE THEIR CHANCE FOR MISCHIEF!
TRUCKS: HURRAH HURRAH!
NARRATOR: AND BANGING THEIR BUFFERS, THEY PUSHED JAMES DOWN THE HILL.
TRUCKS: ON ON ON!
JAMES: I GOT TO STOP! I GOT TO STOP!

BEN: WOAH!
SAM: WOAH!
NARRATOR: SOMETHING STICKY SPLASHED ALL OVER JAMES!
SAM: Stay right there James!Im goanna call for help. Ben, you stay and keep James company!
BEN: Sounds like a plan!
Narrator: James had run into tar wagons and was black from smokebox to cab. He was more dirty than hurt, but the tar wagons and some trucks were hauled to pieces.
BEN: Don't worry, James! I'm sure Sam will be back for some help! And here is some help now!
SAM: I'm back, Ben with Percy and Toby!

TOBY: Look here Percy. Whatever is that dirty object?
PERCY: That's James!
BEN: Yeah. Didn't you know?
TOBY: It's James' shape. But James is a splendid red engine and you never see his paint dirty!
NARRATOR: James pretended he hadn't heard.
SAM: Looks like someone's learnt his lesson!

THE FAT CONTROLLER: Fancy letting your trucks run away. I am surprised. You're not fit to be seen you must be clean at once. Toby will have a new coat of paint.
TOBY: Please Sir. Can Henrietta have one too?
THE FAT CONTROLLER: Certainly, Toby!
TOBY: Oh thank you sir she will be pleased!
NARRATOR: All James could do was watch Toby as he ran off happilly with the news!
